ESRT Explores New Methods and Improved Technologies
ESRT advances ESG principles through thought leadership, industry cooperation, policy engagement, and collaborative implementation of effective practices that we openly share.
Our real estate portfolio is a dynamic laboratory where we continuously pilot new technologies focused on emissions reduction, energy efficiency, water efficiency, IEQ, health and well-being, and waste reduction. We gather data to perform measurements and verification on these technologies using an array of sensors, meters, and automation platforms installed at our properties. This data, along with input from employees, tenants, and technical experts at ESRT, as well as our trusted partners, informs our analyses and evaluations and, ultimately, our recommendations for continued or expanded use.
To improve our entire industry’s ability to successfully implement and measure progress of ESG standards, we share our data and findings via open-source formats. For more details on our groundbreaking ESRT 2.0 Decarbonization Work, click here.

What the Empire State Building did is a blueprint for how we can modernize our buildings, reduce emissions, convert to a carbon-free future, and create new jobs. If we could do the same thing for every sizable building in every city in America, we would probably buy ourselves decades before the worst consequences of climate change come down on us.
With our foundation in the groundbreaking, deep energy retrofit at the Empire State Building, our mission is to make energy efficiency and decarbonization more affordable and therefore accessible to more businesses that make New York State great.
