A LEADER IN SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since the development of the ground-breaking Solaire (America\u2019s first LEED Gold, environmentally advanced residential tower) the Albanese Organization has been a nationally recognized leader in sustainable development. We remain devoted to developing and operating real estate in an environmentally sustainable manner. We approach every project stage with the highest degree of focus, experience, and skill, and an abiding respect for the environment and the well-being of occupants. Our construction management team works with industry professionals to identify, examine and implement high performance strategies consistent with these project goals. Successful completion of subsequent groundbreaking projects like the Verdesian (America\u2019s first LEED Platinum residential tower) and the Visionaire (America\u2019s first LEED Platinum condominium tower) are testaments to our ability to integrate \u201cgreen\u201d building principles utilizing the latest technologies to provide added health benefits to occupants, while conserving the earth\u2019s resources.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

THE ENDURING VALUE OF ENVIRONMENTALLY ADVANCED BUILDINGS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our demonstrated experience and focus on tomorrow not only ensures that current project successes endure long after construction is completed, but also helps us innovate new designs, materials and construction solutions that are the genesis of advanced living and working environments of the future.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

ENERGY EFFICIENCY INCREASES VALUE<\/strong><\/p>\n

We are adept at identifying and analyzing energy efficiency strategies in concert with occupant comfort, initial investment, and future operating costs. We employ computer modeling to evaluate various building systems alternatives, predict energy consumption and life cycle costs, and to \u201cright size\u201d building systems. We communicate with utility providers and investigate available incentive programs and energy rate structures.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

THE INDOOR ENVIRONMENT<\/strong><\/p>\n

A full exploration of thermal comfort and indoor air quality is essential during the design and construction phases. We seek building systems and finishes that minimize pollutant sources, provide proper ventilation and air filtration, and achieve energy efficiency and comfort goals. Visual comfort is a design priority with careful attention to natural day-lighting and proper lighting design. Acoustic comfort issues are addressed through proper system sizing, selection, and sound attenuation measures as well as careful oversight during construction and commissioning.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

ALTERNATIVE ENERGY SOURCES<\/strong><\/p>\n

We identify, evaluate and implement emerging technologies, including building-integrated photovoltaics, combined heat and power and cogeneration systems.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

MINIMIZING ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS<\/strong><\/p>\n

We design and construct buildings that are energy- and water-efficient, and utilize non-toxic materials from renewable and recycled sources. Provisions for minimizing and managing construction waste are addressed in the design and bidding phases, and monitored closely during construction.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

ADAPTIVE REUSE: THE ART OF ADAPTATION<\/strong><\/p>\n

Old buildings often outlive their original purpose. We have experience in adaptive reuse of buildings to new uses through creative design, and state-of-the art renovation techniques. Successful adaptive reuse maximizes the value of the existing properties, while retaining and preserving historic features.<\/p>\n
