AOL at 770 Broadway

AOL's space on the 4th and 5th floors at 770 Broadway, which is expected to receive a LEED CI Silver or Gold certification from the USGBC this month, is an outstanding example of both sustainable design and construction practices. During construction, 91% of waste was recycled and diverted from landfill.

Recycled materials and rapidly renewable materials were used throughout the space including the counters, ceiling and even the reception desk. The water efficient fixtures in the space are anticipated to reduce water usage by over 30% compared to standard design, while energy efficiency measures including occupancy sensors and lighting controls as well as metering and controls on HVAC have decreased energy costs by nearly 30% over standard spaces. AOL is currently working on LEED CI certification of their 6th floor space and has pushed the envelope even further regarding its sustainability practices.

Congratulations and thank you AOL!
