"Rebuild New Mexico & Underdeveloped Entities" RNM&UE is a nonprofit (501.c3) organization with the mission to help create a sustainable future for the state of New Mexico plus adjacent states and wherever underdeveloped conditions exist.
A nonprofit dedicated to creating a sustainable future for underdeveloped communities.
Providing access to the latest in energy-saving products, working and promoting symbiosis in our natural environments, and supporting less fortunate areas in New Mexico, surrounding states, and especially Haiti.
We seek individuals who are both skilled and dedicated to returning unnatural oppressive urban areas to their original natural state.
Preserving New Mexico's landscape and tranquility for its inhabitants is our priority. We want to see an amazing future for this state, the rest of the southwest, and hold Haiti in our hearts.
Our Strategy
Rebuild New Mexico (RNM) grew out of the 1996 DOE Rebuild America initiative to assist with improving energy efficiency in commercial and public buildings with the incentive of keeping resources (Money) within local communities and states. When DOE funding was dropped for the program in 2001 RNM became a non-profit to continue the original mission evolving around three areas of emphasis.
RNM is looking to promote total sustainability for both our NM communities on a local level and on a global level in limited international communities. Total sustainability involves getting "off the grid" not only in energy but also in water supply; food supply; healthcare; communications; and of course community happiness.
Energy Savings Distribution
By promoting and helping to provide the means and materials (i.e. distribution of the latest in energy saving products) to our partners who work with all governmental entities public and private organizations, small and large businesses to lower their demand for energy while at the same time finding ways for them to produce energy independently.
Environmental Conservation
By working and promoting a return of our natural environment to its original state with clean rivers, original vegetation, organic farming and guaranteed open space.
Revenue Sharing
Any revenues generated by our activities will go to support these goals in less fortunate areas both in New Mexico, surrounding states, and especially the country of Haiti – which has the most underdeveloped conditions in the Western Hemisphere.
Key Areas of Emphasis in Our Work
Behavior Modification
Helping to change the behavior of the building occupants to reduce energy use.
Building Audits
Assessments and Investment Grade Audits to consider retrofit recommendations for improving building performance.
Education and Outreach
Educating communities statewide on greening initiatives and sustainability habits.
Our Goals
RNM&UE constantly seeks partners who are skilled in all of the above areas and will help these partners to find the clients who are willing to participate in reducing their energy demand and possibly producing their own energy. We also seek partners who are both skilled and dedicated to working to return un-natural, invasively dominated urban, suburban, (1st priority) areas and later rural areas to their original natural state. Non native, undesirable growth must be removed as it is changing New Mexico’s landscapes into un- desirable surroundings.
Another integral part of our mission is to help both our clients and our contracting partners wade through the complex waters of finding the best value in energy saving materials (RNM is a distributor of such materials) and processing the administrative requirements for receiving the maximum incentives.
RNM&UE will provide meeting areas and lodging to visiting clients, professionals, doctors, engineers, administrators, and financial experts who may be required to visit our facilities both in New Mexico and abroad.
