BEEnow is a voluntary service program that inspires architecture schools to emphasize the teaching of sustainability, preparing graduates to substantially contribute low-carbon building design. ​

​

Because the energy use of buildings is the main cause of climate change, buildings must be designed to use very little energy.  Unfortunately, many architecture schools are not producing graduates who are prepared to engage climate change. BEEnow seeks to remedy this problem by inspiring architecture schools to produce graduates who are competent to design such low-energy and low-carbon buildings.

​

The 2030 Challenge and the 2050 Imperative envision a built environment that uses little carbon for its construction and even less carbon for its operation. BEEnow supports these initiatives.
