Join GreenHomeNYC for a bike tour of green buildings in Lower Manhattan.  The tours are an opportunity visit a varied collection of buildings to learn about energy efficient and sustainable building methods directly from building professionals such as the architect, engineer, developer or owner. You’ll experience firsthand the inner workings and design details, as well the challenges and accomplishments that were faced by the professionals involved with these commercial and residential buildings.

This tour will feature green office space as well as a fantastic case study for deep energy retrofits.

In 2010 179 Henry Street converted its old steam heating system to a high efficient hot water system.  Along with lighting and water conservation measures, the building reduced its energy consumption by 44% in the first year!  Learn how the building took advantage of a number of state and federal finance programs to achieve these incredible savings at minimal cost to the owners. 

The next stop will showcase 148 Lafayette St. a LEED Gold office space with unique day lighting, efficient HVAC, occupancy sensors, and a biowall designed to resemble Central Park.
