Our efforts are imperative to keeping energy costs affordable, cutting emissions that are fueling climate change, and delivering on improved health, safety, and resiliency for everyone.

Throughout its 25-year history, NBI has worked to fulfill its mission to advance best practices, codes, and policies through market leadership, research, guidance, and technical advocacy — working toward a built environment that equitably delivers community benefits and climate solutions.
