Projects in Detail

The recommended package of 8 projects will save nearly 40% of the energy at the Empire State Building, but almost all the changes will be unnoticeable from the outside and by visitors to the 86th floor Observatory.

The sustainable transformation of the Empire State Building is happening inconspicuously – and the huge energy savings come from the interaction between the multiple retrofits. Tenants will find opportunities for enhanced, more comfortable office spaces, and engineers will have the most advanced tools to monitor how energy is being used throughout the building.
