BrightBuilt Retrofit (BBR) is an open source, community based, energy conservation initiative open to non-profits that own buildings in Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont. BBR seeks to have a broad educational impact through its open source, collaborative approach. We hope you will join us in our efforts to achieve an affordable and accessible deep energy retrofit and to inspire all applicants to take steps to reduce energy bills and lower their carbon footprints.
