LAKE CITY, Colo., Oct. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Green Builder Media has rolled out new research and learning opportunities focused on home energy, community connection, remodeling and more.

The new free report, Getting to Net Zero: A Long-Term Power Play, combines COGNITION Smart Data with practical guidance on building high-performance, all-electric homes. It explores how site design, building envelopes, ventilation, heat pumps, efficient appliances, solar and battery storage can support lower operating costs, comfort and resilience. Download it here.

In an exciting partnership, Green Builder Media’s COGNITION Smart Data is collaborating with the National Building Museum on a short survey about what makes a community meaningful, how people feel about local changes and whether they have a voice in shaping what comes next. Here’s your chance to tell the world what “community” means to you. Take the survey.

The latest 2027 Outlook Report draws on surveys of builders, homebuyers and homeowners to examine affordability pressures, buyer hesitation, remodeling demand, and builders’ priorities for products, technology, and investment. Download it here.
