Newport Ventures is a small, woman-owned, HUB Zone-based research and consulting firm with expertise in the housing industry. Our greatest strengths include creativity and the ability to partner with the best in the industry to provide technical and marketing services, field and market research, and program management for our public and private sector clients. 

Newport Ventures is a sister company to Newport Partners located in Maryland. As the Maryland business grew, we decided to expand into New York rather than just expanding within Maryland. Venture’s New York location works well both as an independent office, and as an office working in partnership with the Maryland office.

Are more rigorous energy and building codes the answer?  We’ve analyzed the latest codes and assessed what they mean for the buildings of tomorrow.
 
Can existing homes be significantly improved?  Our energy monitoring and analysis of existing housing in New York tells us how much energy we’re using and how much can be saved.
 
Can alternative building systems make a difference?  We’re currently modeling different building systems and comparing their energy use to traditional systems to answer this question.
 
There’s no question green building and its benefits are critical to the future of our housing industry – but achieving these goals will rely on accurate analysis and sound conclusions from groups like Newport Ventures.
