Building Sustainable Cities

Born out of our commitment to achieve maximum energy efficiency in our products and our operations, UTC supports programs that are Building Sustainable Cities across the globe.​

U.S. Green Building Council’s Center for Green Schools. UTC’s multi-year, multi-million dollar commitment — allowing us to serve as the program’s Founding Sponsor — promotes the design and construction of green, energy-efficient K-12 schools, colleges and universities throughout the U.S.

American Architectural Foundation. UTC serves as the sole private-sector sponsor of the Mayors’ Institute for City Design, a series of urban design symposiums co-hosted by AAF, the National Endowment for the Arts and the United States Conference of Mayors. UTC also co-created the Sustainable Cities Design Academy (SCDA) to provide a platform for community leaders to engage in policy shaping and design decisions.

China Green Foundation. Through UTC’s support, the multi-year Greening the Future program is helping 100 impoverished families in Jingxiu County achieve sustainable development by planting 100,000 tea trees.
