www.gea-pllc.com Sustainability GEA Consulting Engineers has 124 NINTH STREET, BROOKLYN extensive experience with Partnerships high-performance sustainable buildings, including high-end and market-rate residential, commercial, retail and community spaces. Our portfolio includes work on over 18 properties and nearly 1.3 million square feet of residential space in the New York City region, including Homeport Staten Island, one of the largest residential constructions on the East Coast. GEA achieved LEED Silver certification at 345 West 14th Street, a luxury high-rise in the Meatpacking District, which reached record sales numbers for the location. We were also able to achieve LEED Silver at Broadway Plaza, a retail site in the Bronx that had been slated for LEED Certified; Silver certification was accomplished at no extra cost to building ownership. Our work at Washington Square Park enabled the site to achieve LEED Platinum certification. Solar Carve, a commercial site on 10th Avenue, will be LEED Gold and Wired Score certified. We are currently working with developers on different residential, commercial and retail sites in multiple locations. Our staff includes several LEED APs, and most of our projects are anticipated to be LEED Silver.

ST GEA is currently working on a Passive House building 200 EAST 21 STREET, NYC in New York City, a 20 story luxury high-rise residential building that will incorporate high-performing windows and opaque envelope, including window overhangs that will shield the building from excessive solar heat gain. GEA is also designing a super-efficient heat recovery system for the building, using solar domestic hot water heaters, VRF equipment and energy recovery ventilators. This, combined with the lower heating and cooling loads, will make this among the first passive house structures in the New York City.

Currently, GEA has three separate buildings undergoing EPA Energy Star certification. This is an intensive process that focuses heavily on construction standards, including air leakage rates, high-performing fenestration and additional testing and verification. Two of these buildings are in line to receive NYSERDA MPP funding based on the Energy Star standards. In addition to LEED, Energy Star and Passive House, GEA also has projects that are pursuing Enterprise Green Communities, Green Globes and other certifications.

TECH-FORWARD ENGINEERING BENEFITS of Going LEED Increased Building Valuation LEED certification carries a certain cachet. These buildings are known for comfortable and healthy living environments. LEED certification awards credit for VOC-free building materials, for extensive operable windows, and for increased fresh air ventilation, among other possibilities. At 345 West 14th Street, prices were expected to range from $1,800- 2,000/square foot. According to Crain’s, average actual sale prices reached $2,300 per square foot, with some spaces reaching as high as $3,500/square foot. 345 West 14th Street, NYC Reduction in Energy & Water Use LEED structures are designed to use less electric, oil, gas and water than other buildings. This is accomplished through a combination of measures, such as improved envelope and insulation, lower lighting wattage, more efficient mechanical equipment, and low-flow water fixtures. LEED structures are predicted to use an estimated 30 to 60% less energy than comparable homes built to International Energy Conservation Code.

12 Warren Street: projected for a 45% reduction in water use, including nearly halving the hot water consumption

325 West Broadway: 50% energy use reduction in common areas Triangle Plaza, Bronx, NY Better Indoor Air Quality LEED buildings are required to ventilate all usable space with fresh air, and can receive credit for over-ventilating. This is a common strategy in LEED buildings, and will enhance tenant comfort and lifestyle.

Tenants at 211 East 13th Street have noted that even in one of the City’s busiest areas, they are comfortable and happy in their homes. Some tenants have reported healthier results since moving to that building.

Reduced Maintenance & Operating Costs By using super-efficient mechanical equipment, buildings generally see less need for equipment servicing. Even routine maintenance—changing 325 West Broadway, NYC common area light bulbs, replacing filters, etc.—is less necessary when installing LED bulbs and high-end HVAC equipment.

LEED-compliant rooftop units scheduled for Triangle Plaza require less frequent filter changes than comparable equipment, and the LED bulbs used there will need replacement every 20 years, which compares very favorably with incandescent or CFL fixtures.

Community Benefits LEED buildings require lessened demand for large scale infrastructures such as land­fills, water supply, storm water sewers, utilities and transportation development and maintenance, generating good will and positive publicity.

211 East 13th Street, NYC

TECH-FORWARD ENGINEERING THE NEW COST OF LEED: WHAT 2014 BUILDING CODE MEANS FOR LEED

New York State and City recently adopted building codes that require compliance with more stringent energy standards. The new codes require commissioning and energy modeling at a scale with very similar requirements to a LEED certified building.

The USGBC recently extended the window for LEED certification under the LEED v2009 certification standard. The State and City codes require compliance with ASHRAE 90.1-2010, while LEED still allows compliance with ASHRAE 90.1-2007. What does this all mean? The incremental cost of going LEED for projects located in New York City has shrunk by 75%.

TECH-FORWARD ENGINEERING LEED vs Green Globes: A Side-By-Side Comparison

There are two green building certification systems that are currently recognized by the U.S. General Services Administration as acceptable third-party rating systems: LEED, by the USGBC, and Green Globes, by GBI. While these systems are in many ways similar, there are notable differences between the two. A side-by-side comparison is valuable when choosing the correct certification for your building.

LEED Green Globes

Rating Body United States Green Building Council Green Building Institute

Certification Fees $10-15,000 $25-30,000

Consultant Fees $15-25,000 $25-40,000

Energy Modeling $25-40,000 $25-40,000

Commissioning $35-55,000 $35-55,000

LEED is weighted more heavily toward the design and Green Globes lends more weight to the construction phase, location of the building. A building in New York City rather than design. Furthermore, Green Globes was designed will start out with approximately 28-32 LEED points. with ease of construction in mind—for example, LEED allows These come from a number of factors: NYC’s urban and only one sustainable forest certification, while Green Globes Soft Costs pre-built environment; NYC’s stricter energy codes (as allows four. While Green Globes still allows a formidable compared with LEED); NYC’s stricter plumbing code; baseline for a New York City site, there is a higher emphasis and other issues. An NYC-based property can achieve placed on construction specs and documentation. However, LEED certification at minimal extra cost or effort. Green Globes’ documentation threshold is generally lower than that for LEED.

LEED is internationally recognized, with over 60,000 Green Globes is a nascent program, with about 1,000 buildings currently LEED-certified. LEED v4, set to debut buildings and fit-outs currently certified. Due to its in October 2016, is stricter and more environmentally review practices and parent body, Green Globes has Visibility rigorous, lending credence to the widespread notion earned the reputation of being less environmentally that LEED is better suited for true environmental and rigorous. However, since construction documentation is sustainable building practices. easier, Green Globes is a choice for many tenant fit-outs.

Bottom line: While GBI certification is more pricey than USGBC, LEED is more expensive and rigorous, and will add more money to your design and construction costs. However, this comes with the far greater visibility and recognition of a multinational rating system, the higher emphasis on environmental consciousness and sustainability, and the prominence that comes with a LEED plaque.
