  • Simulating the Thermal-Energy Performance of Buildings at the Urban Scale: Evaluation of Inter- Building Effects in Different Urban Configurations
    Simulating the Thermal-Energy Performance of Buildings at the Urban Scale: Evaluation of Inter- Building Effects in Different Urban Configurations Anna Laura Pisello, Veronica Lucia Castaldo, Tiziana Poli and Franco Cotana ABSTRACT The reduction of the energy use of buildings at the urban scale represents a key research and design topic with the purpose of developing specific methods for saving energy in buildings. These methods are often focused on the analysis of building thermal- energy behavior by considering the building as a stand-alone object. In this per-spective, the thermal-energy behavior of two buildings in New York City is evaluated in this paper with varying urban contexts, in order to evaluate the Inter-Building Effect (IBE). The IBE analysis shows that the inaccuracy in neglecting the urban context in building modeling varies from 9.6 percent, to 71.9 percent. These results confirm that, in order to make accurate predictions about building thermal-energy performance in real urban contexts through dynamic simulation, the interaction between the building and the urban surrounding should be taken into account, in particular in dense urban areas. KEYWORDS inter-building effect; urban context; building thermal-energy dynamic simulation; building energy performance; mutual shading Introduction The issue of analyzing the complex relationship among buildings in terms of thermal-energy behavior at an urban scale has become increasingly important for both designers and researchers, considering the large amount of energy consumed by buildings and the huge environmental sustainability issue related to the con- struction sector. Several sustainable development indicators have been proposed by Berardi (2012), who introduced different rating systems for the evaluation of building energy requirements by considering, first, the buildings separately, and, second, the buildings all together, as a whole.

  • Chapter 5: Shadows
    Chapter 5: Shadows A. INTRODUCTION This chapter presents the detailed shadow study that was conducted to determine whether the proposed One Vanderbilt development would cast any new shadows on sunlight-sensitive resources. Sunlight-sensitive resources can include parks, playgrounds, residential or office plazas, and other publicly accessible open spaces; sunlight-dependent features of historic resources; and important natural features such as water bodies. Since the preparation of the shadow analysis in the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS), the height of the proposed One Vanderbilt development was increased. The shadow analysis in this Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) has been revised to reflect this change including Figures 5-1 to 5-22 and 5-27. PRINCIPAL CONCLUSIONS This analysis compared shadows that would be cast by the proposed One Vanderbilt development, which would be built to a floor area ratio (FAR) of 30, with those that would be cast by the 15 FAR building that would be developed absent the proposed actions (the 15 FAR No-Action building). As described below, the analysis concluded that the proposed 30 FAR One Vanderbilt development would cast new shadows on Bryant Park, the west windows of Grand Central Terminal’s main concourse and several other sunlight-sensitive resources. However, the new shadows would be limited in extent, duration and effects and would not result in any significant adverse shadow impacts, as demonstrated in detail below. B. DEFINITIONS AND METHODOLOGY This analysis has been prepared in accordance with CEQR procedures and follows the guidelines of the 2014 City Environmental Quality Review (CEQR) Technical Manual. DEFINITIONS Incremental shadow is the additional, or new, shadow that a structure resulting from a project would cast on a sunlight-sensitive resource.

  • The Design and Construction of Skyscrapers Involves Creating Safe, Habitable Spaces in Very Tall Buildings
    The design and construction of skyscrapers involves creating safe, habitable spaces in very tall buildings. The buildings must support their weight, resist wind and earthquakes, and protect occupants from fire. Yet they must also be conveniently accessible, even on the upper floors, and provide utilities and a comfortable climate for the occupants. The problems posed in skyscraper design are considered among the most complex encountered given the balances required between economics, engineering, and construction management. One common feature of skyscrapers is having a steel framework from which curtain walls are suspended, rather than load-bearing walls of conventional construction. Most skyscrapers have a steel frame that enables to build taller than load-bearing walls of reinforced concrete. Skyscrapers usually have particularly small surface area of what are conventionally thought of as walls, because the walls are not load-bearing and therefore most skyscrapers are characterized by large surface areas of windows made possible by the concept of steel frame and curtain walls. One Worldwide Plaza is part of a three building, mixed use commercial and residential complex completed in 1989, in the New York City borough of Manhattan, known collectively as Worldwide Plaza. One Worldwide Plaza is a commercial office tower on Eighth Avenue. Two Worldwide Plaza is a residential condominium tower west of the center of the block, and Three Worldwide Plaza is a low rise condominium residential building with street level stores on Ninth Avenue, to the west of the towers. Skidmore, Owings & Merrill was the designer for the office complex and the residential complex was designed by Frank Williams.

  • Manhattan Office Market
    Manhattan Offi ce Market 2 ND QUARTER 2015 REPORT A NEWS RECAP AND MARKET SNAPSHOT Pictured: 1001 Avenue of the Americas Looking Ahead Partnership for New York City: New York’s Future as the World Financial Capital The report released in June concluded that while New York City remains the preferred location of global fi nancial companies to establish their headquarters, there is a growing trend to relocate jobs and business operations to lower cost, more business-friendly locations that are beyond the city’s border. A comprehensive survey was conducted in collaboration with Gerson Lehrman Group (GRG), intending to better understand how the fi nancial industry is evolving; and what measures are required to solidify New York’s competitive advantage as a global fi nancial center. Collected data represents an overview of the responses from 50-fi rm respondents that included large banks, insurance companies and asset managers, private equity fi rms, hedge funds, and fi nancial technology (FinTech) startups; and represent about 1/3rd of the total industry employment in the city. Additionally, observations were included from 8-real estate fi rms that were surveyed; along with interviews from other related experts in the fi eld. Financial Industry – an economic snapshot • Contributes 20% of the city’s economic output, representing twice that of the next top-grossing industry. • Accounts for nearly 1/3rd of the city’s private sector payroll, despite accounting for only 8%, or about 310,000 of the city’s private sector jobs in 2013; of which 23,000 jobs are high-technology in the areas of software, data processing and network management.

  • For Immediate Release
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Innovative Empire State Building Program Saves Millions, Establishes New Energy Efficiency Model Nationwide World’s Most Famous Office Building Exceeds Energy Efficiency Savings for 2nd Consecutive Year, Stands as Benchmark for Industry NEW YORK, June 24, 2013 — The innovative energy efficiency program at the Empire State Building has exceeded guaranteed energy savings for the second year in a row, saving $2.3 million and providing a new model for building retrofits that is now being rolled out nationwide. In 2009, the Empire State Building, President Bill Clinton and Mayor Michael Bloomberg launched a comprehensive retrofit at the landmark property to reduce costs, increase real estate value and protect the environment. In 2011, the Empire State Building beat its year-one energy-efficiency guarantee by a remarkable 5 percent, saving $2.4 million. In year two, the iconic property surpassed its energy-efficiency guarantee by nearly 4 percent. As with the first year’s results, all information and monitoring and verification reports can be viewed at www.esbsustainability.com . “The Empire State Building retrofit project is two for two, dramatically exceeding projected energy savings for the second straight year and reducing costs by millions of dollars,” said Anthony E. Malkin of the Empire State Building. “This effort clearly demonstrates the sustainability leadership of The World’s Most Famous Office Building and that integrating energy efficiency into building upgrades can significantly enhance the value of any real estate asset while also protecting the environment.” Malkin and the Clinton Climate Initiative Cities program, an aligned partner of the C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group, assembled a coalition of leading organizations focused on energy efficiency and sustainability.
