EMPIRE STATE REALTY TRUST: 2021 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT

VERSION 2.0 TEAM

Engineering and technical lead for the development and implementation of the 2.0 work. As a global leader in whole building systems engineering and decarbonization, they led analysis, design, innovation, technical knowledge management, and reporting.

Energy modeling lead, iterative and integrated analysis of potential impact of emissions and energy conservation measures on whole building system performance, potential utility, and financial savings.

Provided cost estimates and constructability expertise for energy and emissions conservation measures as well as partnering for evaluation of technology pilots in their space to ensure accurate representation in models and decision-making.

Provided expertise on current and potential future grid scenarios, projecting trends, utility rates, tariffs, and projected performance instrumental in modeling the static, projected, and CLCPA grid scenarios, to demonstrate the vital role the grid and building owners play in decarbonization.
