Here are just a few of our many green features:
Individual Photo-Voltaic (PV) Arrays
Every duplex unit has its own PV array that directly harvests solar energy. Watch your electric meter run backwards when you generate more energy than you use
Passive Heating and Cooling System Large, south-facing windows naturally warm your apartment on sunny winter days. High mass walls and floors naturally regulate temperature fluctuations in winter and summer
Radiant-Floor Heating and Ventilation with Heat Recovery
A radiant-floor heating system, working in tandem with an energy-recovery ventilation system, reduces energy bills and increases indoor comfort. In addition, an air-filtration system ensures that the air you breathe is near HEPA standards and is some of the cleanest in New York City
Green Roof
A garden with patio area transforms the roof into
a cool oasis during the hot summer months while efficiently managing water runoff during storms.
The green roof garden, which is exclusive to the penthouse, is maintenance free and offers great views of the city
