Sponsor GBOH

Reach thousands of motivated green consumers and professionals

“GBOH is our best marketing opportunity of the year.”
—Jesse Thompson, Kaplan Thompson Architects

“NESEA, its Zero Net Energy Award, and GBOH have completely changed my priorities and expectations for a house. Now, it’s not ‘high design’ if it’s not zero net energy.”
—Laura MacKay, GBOH attendee

NESEA’s annual Green Buildings Open House is a prime opportunity to reach thousands of consumers who are in the market for green building materials and services, renewable energy systems, and other eco-friendly lifestyle products. Not to mention NESEA members: we’re always looking for services and products that will help us do the work of sustainability better.

GBOH is big, and it works

In 2011, nearly 11,000 people visited 500 sites in the Northeast
According to a study by the American Solar Energy Society, when people take a GBOH tour, the likelihood that they will invest in energy efficiency and/or clean energy measures jumps by 24 percent, to 78 percent
Many host sites are designed and/or built by NESEA members—we all pay a lot of attention to GBOH
