Viridian professionals supported Anderson Schwartz Architects and Flack + Kurtz Engineers with energy efficiency analyses. The work was co-funded by NYSERDA. The analyses contributed to solutions that resulted in 40% reduction in regulated energy costs vs. a code-complying design, while reducing CO2 emissions by about 1,275 tons/year. Additional savings were achieved in maintenance costs. The project was performed when Viridian professionals were the Energy/ Green/Commissioning group of another company. This group formed Viridian’s nucleus in 2006.
