[SPN-Discussion] Urban Green Tour: Battery Park City Parks Conservancy Maintenance Facility

[Joshua Bissinger]

Join Urban Green Council for a tour of the Battery Park City Parks
Conservancy Maintenance Facility ­ pursuing LEED Platinum for Commercial
Interiors. 

Tuesday, July 6, 2010 from 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM

This new maintenance facility will centralize the Battery Part City Park¹s
Conservancy¹s extensive maintenance activities. It will include vehicle
storage, workshop spaces, composting areas, high/ low-density storage, and
offices for a staff of over one hundred.

The facility uses a combination of low-tech, passive strategies and high
tech equipment to reduce the energy costs by 35%. The mechanical systems
utilize two standing column geothermal wells for mechanical cooling, free
cooling and heating. Daylighting, occupancy sensors and high efficiency
light fixtures also contribute to the reduction of electrical lighting
loads. Low flow fixtures, use of treated black water and gray water from the
residential building¹s plant and waterless urinals result in a water use
reduction of 47%.

The facility is located in the base of a high-rise residential building and
is being designed to achieve a LEED Platinum rating under the Commercial
Interiors Program.
