Among an exclusive class of landmark green residential buildings rising throughout Manhattan in recent years, this luxury apartment complex earned LEED Gold certification. It is considered a model for resource efficiency, environmental balance and green construction, and was awarded the AIA Green Affordable Housing Award for sustainable design and construction.
The many sustainable design elements include green roofs, water conserving fixtures, Energy Star appliances, and efficient lighting occupancy sensors and controls. Blackwater treatment technology, micro-turbine cogeneration, a centralized heating and cooling system and photovoltaic panels promote resource conservation. As the building's commissioning authority HEA performed all LEED commissioning services, and post-occupancy O&M coordination and training.
