Demand a Higher Standard℠
Among this new luxury apartment building's many environmental features is a system that conditions fresh air, exceeding New York City energy efficiency standards by nearly 40%. A natural gas microturbine produces 70 kW of power, or 20% of the base load, while recapturing enough bi-product heat to generate 100% of the domestic hot water. Overall the building lowers peak electric demand by 65%.
The LEED registered building is linked to a nearby black water treatment plant which recycles water from bathrooms and kitchens to re-supply toilets and provide make-up water for the cooling tower. The building also harvests rainwater and can store 10,000 gallons of recycled water for irrigation of the green rooftop garden. HEA performed commissioning services in conjunction with the USGBC LEED rating system, as well as conducted air quality sampling.
