NYC EDC Sunset Park District Energy Feasibility Study
Brooklyn, NY
The awarded team prepared a feasibility study to develop district energy alternatives to improve energy efficiency and to reduce carbon emissions for the Sunset Part site owned by NYC Economic Development Corporation. Ellana served as cost estimator for the team.
Structures included in this study are Brooklyn Army Terminal (Buildings A and B), Brooklyn Army Terminal Annex, Boiler Plant Building (abandoned), Brooklyn Wholesale Meat Market (Buildings A and B), Maramont Building, bank building, and car dealership.
The challenge is identifying the best energy strategy that includes reusing as much of the existing infrastructure and existing heating and cooling systems as possible to keep retrofit and implementation costs at a manageable level.
