Eco El Paso's (EEP) mission is to promote innovative, eco-sensitive and energy efficient community planning, building design, construction and facility maintenance in the hot, arid climate. We provide educational training seminars and presentations for professionals in the design, construction, renewable energy, and building maintenance industries, from experts in the various trades for sustainabl
e residential, commercial and institutional projects. EEP was created in 2008 by a group of volunteers from different professional organizations including the AIA, USGBC, ASID, ASHRAE, UTEP, TTU, EPBA, and APA. Founding members include architects, engineers, interior designers, planners, educators, landscape designers, material and systems consultants, manufacturers and general contractors. We envision cooperating with other groups with similar goals and objectives to promote and educate and to serve as a vehicle for discovery, learning and integration of sustainable and regenerative life practices. We aspire to define, with others, regionally appropriate built environments that are healthy, original, ecologically sound and focus on locally and regionally sourced resources, both human and materials. EEP is dedicated to fostering a learning environment for sustainable systems and life styles while integrating workforce and economic development concepts.
