BuildingEnergy Boston is a conference designed by and for practitioners in the fields of high-performance building and design, energy efficiency, and renewable energy.

BuildingEnergy Boston 2026 will be held in-person Monday and Tuesday, March 23–24, at the Westin Boston Seaport District. The conference will feature product demonstrations, networking events, and accredited sessions that offer best practices and lessons learned, case studies and proven data, technical how-to’s, emerging technologies, and innovative policies and programs.
Conference Theme: Don't Stop Us Now!
Those of us committed to sustainability in our field have built a robust movement, and now is the time to prove that our momentum cannot be stopped by indecision, injustice, or inaction. Despite new barriers to progress, our industry continues to adapt to uncertainty. Our personal and professional resilience is being tested, and we will only move forward by supporting and learning from one another.
We have all had to adapt to hardships of some kind, be it project setbacks, discrimination, or a lack of resources. There are millions of questions we’re all asking during these tumultuous times, and we don’t have to answer them alone.
How can my team address a sudden loss in funding or increase in project costs?
What do you do to stay grounded when everything seems to be working against you?
How can we succeed in reducing both operational and embodied carbon emissions?
How do you get a key decision maker to move forward on the more sustainable choice?
These questions demand strong responses and bold action. At this year's conference, we want to dig into the ways you have surmounted barriers and found the path forward.
