Construction on new energy-efficient housing in New York
New York Governor Kathy Hochul announced the groundbreaking of the Bartlett Crossing project, which will create new energy-efficient housing in Brooklyn’s Broadway Triangle Neighborhood. The project is a $71.5 million development of energy-efficient multifamily homes that will meet ENERGY STAR Multifamily New Construction and EPA Indoor airPLUS standards. Bartlett Crossing is also designed to meet Enterprise Green Communities Plus standards and will be fully electric, utilizing high-efficiency variable refrigerant flow heating and cooling systems, energy recovery ventilators, highly insulated building envelopes and high-performance windows to reduce energy consumption and improve indoor air quality.
“Bartlett Crossing transforms vacant land into affordable housing in one of Brooklyn’s most vibrant communities,” said Hochul. “This is the type of development that demonstrates what can be accomplished when government and community partners work together to put unused public land to work to create housing that reflects the needs and diversity of all New Yorkers.”
