The document discusses the design of a 38-story, 580-unit residential apartment tower in New York that aims for sustainability. Some key green features include a green roof, high-performance windows, energy efficient HVAC systems, on-site water treatment, renewable energy systems, and green materials. The design was validated through LEED gold certification and design awards, though no post-occupancy studies have evaluated its actual performance.

12. STRATEGY APPLICATION SITE: VIEW TO THE HUDSON RIVER NORTH – LEAST DESIRABLE – USED FOR BUILDING SUPPORT SERVICES (BLACKWATER TREATMENT) COMPRESSED NATURAL GAS SHUTTLE TO SUBWAY GREEN ROOFS REDUCE STORMWATER + URBAN HEAT ISLAND EFFECT

13. STRATEGY APPLICATION WATER EFFICIENCY: REDUCE WATER USAGE TO ABOUT A THIRD ONSITE BLACKWATER TREATMENT CLEANS 1/3 OF THE BUILDINGS WASTEWATER FOR USE IN HVAC SYSTEM COOLING TOWER + IRRIGATION

14. STRATEGY APPLICATION ENERGY AND INDOOR ENVIROMENTAL QUALITY: PHOTOVOLTAICS – 10% OF BUILDINGS ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS WASTE HEAT IS BEING USED TO HEAT COLD WATER A MASTER SWITCH PER UNIT TO TURN OFF ALL BUILT IN LIGHT, AND PUT HVAV SYSTEM IN SLEEP MODE

15. STRATEGY APPLICATION ENERGY AND INDOOR ENVIROMENTAL QUALITY: USES 50% OF ENERGY FROM A GREEN POWER COMPANY VENTS PROVIDE OUTDOOR AIR TO EVERY UNIT + OPERABLE WINDOWS FOR CLIMATECONTROL

16. STRATEGY APPLICATION MATERIALS AND RESOURCES: CERTIFIED WOOD SUPPLIERS USED FOR THE BUILDINGS FLOORS CABINETS AND BIFOLD DOORS ARE MADE OF WHEATBOARD PAINTS, CARPETS, AND ADHESIVES ARE ALL LOW VOC. DRYWALL 100% RECYLCED Wheat board wood

17. STRATEGY APPLICATION BEYOND GREEN: GREEN GUIDELINES WILL BE DISTRIBUTED TO BUILDINGS OCCUPANTS EACH FLOOR HAS A RECYCLING OPENING FXFOWLE WAS COMMISIONED TO PREPARE SUSTAINABLE DESIGN GUIDELINES FOR RESIDENTAL BUILDINDS

18. HOW IS IT WORKING? NO POSTOCCUPANCE STUDIES HAVE BEEN PREFORMED TO EVALUATE BUILDING PREFORMANCE VALIDATION HAS COME FROM EXTERNAL ORGANIZATIONS IN FORM OF DESIGN AWARDS AND A LEEDS CERTIFICATE.
