Urban Green Council is a nonprofit organization established in 2002 that focuses on decarbonizing buildings to create healthy, resilient, and equitable communities, primarily in New York City. Its mission includes advancing electrification, accelerating energy efficiency, and analyzing New York City building data to support climate solutions. The private company is based in New York, NY. The council develops policies such as local law 97 and all-electric new building laws to reduce emissions and promote sustainability. Urban Green Council educates and trains building professionals through programs like energy code training, green professional courses, heat pump design and installation training, and specialized modules for energy code compliance. These offerings are delivered via live classes, on-demand courses, and instructor-led sessions, providing continuing education credits and practical skills for clean, efficient building systems. The organization produces research reports, articles, podcasts, and data hubs on topics such as heat pump water heaters, energy auditing, sustainable operations, and financing clean energy projects.
