Wood Heat Organization -- "the Wood Heat Organization Inc. is a non-profit, non-governmental agency dedicated to the responsible use of wood as a home heating fuel.  We start from the premise that heating a house with wood, partly or totally, is environmentally appropriate (conditionally) and economically beneficial. That doing it is physically healthful, and that experiencing it is comforting to the body and soothing to the spirit. Like any other human endeavor, wood heating can be done badly or well. Wood can be harvested poorly, burned dirty and its heat wasted. Or, wood can be harvested sustainably, burned cleanly and efficiently, and its energy used to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions that cause global warming.  Here, you will find support for your efforts to use wood well. We'll also clear up some misconceptions about wood heating – there are a lot of them around. Here, you'll get a balanced view of the merits of wood heating. "

Sustainable Buildings Industry Council -- "SBIC is an independent, nonprofit organization whose mission is to advance the design, affordability, energy performance, and environmental soundness of America's buildings.  We teach, value, and advocate a balanced, holistic approach to designing new buildings. These days many terms are used to describe improved buildings, such as "green," "sustainable," "high performance," and "environmentally responsive." We are always mindful that these ideas must be kept in context with other equally important design objectives, such as aesthetics, accessibility, cost effectiveness, flexibility, high productivity, and security. Our members believe that all sustainable buildings must be low-energy, climate-responsive, use minimal fossil fuels and cleaner, renewable energy."
