The Jordan Institute works to implement significant climate change solutions in New Hampshire by reducing fossil fuel use in buildings. We believe this is the fastest, most cost-effective strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, as buildings represent 59% of all fossil fuel 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 Jim Hansen, NASA’s preeminent climatologist, who contends that we must reverse the growth of fossil fuel emissions worldwide within the next decade to avoid irreversible and catastrophic climate change.

We address this challenge with four main programs:

  • Green building consultation and training
  • The New Hampshire Partnership for High Performance Schools
  • Oversight of relevant bills in the Legislature and key dockets at the Public Utilities Commission
  • Granite State Energy Efficiency (GSE2), a new initiative to secure private dollars for a revolving loan fund to finance a wide range of energy efficiency projects statewide.

In the coming months we will revamp this Web site to include case studies, town-specific information about energy efficiency opportunities, registration for our seminars, and other features. In the meantime, please peruse the material here and contact us if you would like more information.
