Hudson Ivy will deliver the first fully sustainable, next-generation office building of its kind to grace the Manhattan skyline. It incorporates an all-electric system that naturally promotes efficient energy use, allowing tenants to live and work in an environment with advanced technology that minimizes the building’s carbon footprint.
Sustainable materials, high energy efficiency, water consumption, and improved air quality have all been carefully considered as the building has been designed to attain the highest-level LEED certifications.
Hudson Ivy is positioned to qualify for LEED Platinum, LEED Zero Energy, and WELL Platinum certifications. The building also provides a digitally connected environment utilizing advanced smart building technology to create a seamless experience. These efforts have earned Wired-Score Platinum and SmartScore Platinum certification standards.
Sustainable design features include:
- Photovoltaic solar panels
- Low voltage Power over Ethernet (PoE)
- Elevators with regenerative drive breaking
- Multi-point sensors for occupant detection, daylight levels, and thermal comfort conditions
Hudson Ivy has been designed to deliver an optimal working environment with enhanced indoor air quality. Enhanced filtration systems provide fresh air, and active quality monitoring ensures a healthy, comfortable, and enjoyable experience for all building users.
Limiting Hudson Ivy’s carbon footprint is a top priority, as the building has been designed with careful regard for the environment in every phase from construction to completion. Measures have been taken to reduce both the embodied and overall operational carbon emissions.
Designed to achieve LEED Platinum, WELL Platinum, LEED Zero Energy, WiredScore Platinum and SmartScore Platinum.
Designed to achieve LEED Platinum, WELL Platinum, LEED Zero Energy, WiredScore Platinum and SmartScore Platinum.
Site EUI (Energy Use Intensity) is approximately 23% better than other comparable office buildings in the region.
Designed to achieve approximately 24% less annual electrical energy use than other comparable office buildings in New York City.
Indoor water use is reduced by up to 45% through efficient fixture selection and irrigation water use, which will be reduced by at least 50% using drip irrigation, weather controls and low-water demand plant selection.
HVAC infrastructure has been designed to deliver industry-leading 30 CFM of fresh air per person with active indoor air quality monitoring, enhanced filtration and 100% energy recovery.
Base building Mechanical units are provided with MERV-13 filtration, which provides an enhanced filtration level for the occupied spaces.
Finishes for indoor materials contain low levels of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) relative to the normal amount of this pollutant typically found indoors.
Hudson Ivy’s embodied carbon per area is designed to be 30-40% less than that of the national average for office buildings, with post-tension slab elements used to achieve a column-free space and reduce the amount of concrete used during construction.
Compared with a typical elevator design, the Twin Elevator Design yields a smaller building core footprint and embodied carbon output.
Planned Implementation of Power over Ethernet infrastructure (PoE).
