Case study: The Empire State Building [Marketplace #9]

Hey friends, 

The Empire State Building is perhaps the most famous building in the world. Most in our industry don’t realize it’s also a great decarbonization and smart buildings case study. 

In fact, the team at Empire State Realty Trust (ESRT) goes out of its way to share lessons learned with the rest of the industry to follow in their footsteps. 

This week, we have a case study that’s designed to do just that. ESRT was looking for a way to analyze and optimize their HVAC and Lighting control sequences across the 9M square foot office portfolio to meet decarbonization targets. 

‍"I firmly believe that transparent control sequences and continuous optimization are the cornerstones of successful building performance."
—Dana Schneider, Director of Energy Sustainability and ESG at Empire State Realty Trust
