The Jordan Institute is now located at 49 N. Main Street, Concord, NH 03301

The Jordan Institute works to implement significant climate change solutions in New Hampshire by reducing energy use in buildings. Energy reduction is the fastest, most cost-effetive strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, as buildings represent 59% of all energy use in the state. Energy efficiency measures are available immediately, at reasonable cost, and yield tremendous gains in building performance.

The urgency of our work is inspired by the knowledge we must reverse the growth of fossil fuel emissions worldwide within the next several years to avoid irreversible climate change. Please see our climate change  page to learn more about this critical issue.

Our work consists of three main programs:

• Green building consultation and training
• Granite State Energy Efficiency (GSE2), which provides comprehensive and objective project management for energy efficiency projects statewide, particularly in school and municipal buildings
• Energy policy efforts in the Legislature and Public Utilities Commission and membership on numerous statewide climate change advisory boards and working groups

We will update this site regularly with information about our latest programs, local resources for design and construction of high performance buildings, news about climate change and energy efficiency, and more. We also invite you to sign up for our occasional email update, which will contain the latest information about our programs and opportunities.
