NYC Next: 2026 Building Trends

It’s a pivotal moment for climate action. Federal headwinds are impeding progress, states are prioritizing energy cost and reliability, and New York City is entering a new mayoral era with fresh opportunities. Where do we go from here?

At NYC NEXT: 2026 Building Trends, industry leaders will unpack the forces transforming the future of commercial and residential buildings and the strategies that can move New York toward a cleaner and more resilient built environment, while keeping affordability front and center.

Join us at NYU on June 3 to hear from the people and companies leading the way to decarbonizing buildings. Then, connect with industry peers at our post-conference reception at the AIA Center for Architecture.
