BUSHWICK INLET
Brooklyn, NY

Taitem provided LEED consulting, fundamental and enhanced commissioning services, and LEED-compliant energy modeling for a new NYC parks headquarters with office space, classrooms, and public facilities. The project is designed for net zero energy use and achieved LEED platinum certification.

 

The 15,500 SF building includes a green roof, solar photovoltaic panels, geothermal heating and cooling, high-efficiency automated lighting controls, and high-efficiency mechanical equipment and controls. 

NET ZERO VILLAGE
Rotterdam, NY

Taitem provided third-party measurement and verification and commissioning services for this market-rate apartment development designed to achieve net zero energy performance. With 72 units in six buildings, netZero Village uses onsite renewables and energy-efficiency strategies to exceed the energy needs.

 

Taitem became involved early in construction, developing the monitoring strategy. These monitors perform a key function in maintaining peak performance as they are a source of real-time feedback for both occupants and the owner.

SMITH OPERA HOUSE
Geneva, NY

Built in 1894, the Smith Opera House continues as one of the oldest operating performing arts venues in the United States. The building has a 1,400-seat theater, plus a lobby, concession areas, a dance studio, and offices.

 

Taitem conducted a FlexTech energy study with recommended energy conservation measures (ECMs) projected to decrease natural gas consumption by 14%. Taitem also provided full design services for the renovation of the restrooms, dressing rooms, and cabaret area.
