OUR STORY

For over 40 years, Southface Institute has been a leader in the research, design and implementation of a regenerative economy for the Southeast, one that gives back more than it uses. The importance of creating the technologies, policies, job skills and sustainable buildings that lead to vibrant and healthy communities is why we love our work.

Southface works in collaboration with our community network of fellow nonprofits, businesses, government agencies, NGOs, universities and technical experts, implementing high-performance solutions in buildings and neighborhoods across the Southeast and beyond. In addition to the technical services we provide, our work includes educating professionals, advocating for a clean inclusive economy, supporting other nonprofits and using research to find new solutions to pressing issues in the built environment.
