Who are we and what do we do? The Alliance for Environmental Sustainability (AES) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization with a mission of providing sustainable building education to the general public and building industry. AES was founded in 2000 by a dedicated group of community members who saw the need to help our community create a sustainable city; to ensure that our children and our community would have a healthy, safe and affordable environment within which to live and grow. They felt the best way to contribute to the sustainability and growth of our community was to bring expertise in green building practices and green products by training homeowners, architects, designers, builders and other stakeholders in the construction industry sustainable building principles.
