Greener Than Green: Net-Zero Carbon Offices
ringbeam
The Refinery is one of the most sustainable, environmentally responsible office buildings in New York City. With a mechanical system that utilizes efficient, all electric equipment, the building is one of only a handful city-wide to have offices with net-zero carbon emissions. The building is also part of an unprecedented private water reuse system located on the Domino campus. As a result, all of the wastewater generated by The Refinery is treated and reused onsite, diverting polluted water from city outfalls, improving the quality of the East River and reducing stress on the city’s burdened infrastructure. These infrastructure investments, combined with the building’s efficient design, set The Refinery apart from other office buildings in New York City, making it a true trailblazer and leader in sustainability (LEED Gold accreditation is anticipated). The Refinery has also been designed to maximize indoor environmental quality (IEQ). To complement the expansive green space outside, the building features a unique vertical garden between the glass curtain wall and the building’s brick exterior. With mature trees, vines and plantings, building occupants are able to experience the natural environment while taking in the views of the river and the city. 4TH FLOOR 5-10TH FLOOR
