The Building Energy Exchange (BEEx) (formerly known as Green Light New York) is an independent non-profit focused on energy efficiency in the built environment. Through its newly opened resource center, located in downtown Manhattan, BEEx provides support for the building industry through energy and lighting efficiency education, technical exhibits, critical research, and networking opportunities.
Commercial lighting retrofits will be a primary focus of BEEx in 2015. To better understand which resources would be most useful within the New York market, BEEx has developed a survey ( click here) for anyone with a stake in building energy use. The deadline for participation in the survey is Feb. 20, 2015. Additional details are available on the BEEx website.
