Microturbine Installation Complete at New York Marriott Downtown
The New York Marriott Downtown is the latest local property to install microturbines pursuant to New York City’s new legislation (dating from December) providing for their operation (under Title 1 of the Rules of the City of New York, Chapter 50, Distributed Energy Resource Standards). The hotel recently installed two PureComfort systems from UTC Power that will help offset 5800 megawatt hours of electricity each year and prevent 1700 tons of C02 emissions.

Monday LEEDoff: Handel Architects’ Millennium Tower Residences in Battery Park City
The 35-story Millennium Tower in Battery Park City (”BPC”), developed by Millennium Partners and completed last year, was one of the first residential high-rises to earn a LEED Gold rating in New York City (The Solaire & The Helena). The unassuming brick-and-aluminum-clad condominium building, designed by Handel Architects with Steven Winter Associates serving as green consultants, incorporates an honest commitment to cleaner water and air and lower energy costs. gbNYC recently discussed the building in the aftermath of its installation of the first microturbines in the city pursuant to the new rule which was enacted by Mayor Bloomberg last December.

2008 Vintage of Microturbines Now Operating on Lafayette Street
Two years ago, Astor Wines and Spirits relocated to the Theodore De Vinne Press Building at 399 Lafayette Street, on the northeast corner of Fourth Street in the Village. At the time, Andrew Fisher, whose family has owned the building since 1983, installed two microturbines in the basement. Until last December, though, when Mayor Bloomberg signed legislation authorizing the installation and use of microturbines, the Fishers had yet to turn the system on. Mr. Fisher told the New York Times earlier this week that the two microturbines, now operating pursuant to the rule, provide enough energy to heat, cool, and provide electricity for his store and its upstairs cooking school and gallery.

Last week, RSP Systems installed the first microturbines in New York City pursuant to a new rule for their installation and use that Mayor Bloomberg signed into law last December. RSP installed a set of Capstone C60 Microturbines at LEED Gold-certified Millenium Tower Residences in Battery Park City. Under the rule, approved microturbines can be installed in certain locations on both commercial and residential projects, including within weatherproofed enclosures, on roofs, or within rooms that have two-hour fire doors.
