Queens College wanted its first on-campus residence hall to demonstrate the College’s commitment to having an environmentally friendly urban campus.  As part of Goshow Architects’ team, Community Environmental Center is helping them reach that goal by providing full energy efficiency and green building services.

CEC’s energy engineers performed building energy simulations and provided advice on energy efficiency measures.  CEC’s green building team is providing full LEED support services, including comprehensive consulting on materials and product selection, waste management, water efficiency, indoor environmental quality, and commissioning.

In addition, CEC provided support to the project team and owners in navigating NYS energy efficiency requirements.  CEC is working with Goshow Architect’s dedicated team to develop the required documentation and to provide construction oversight to ensure that the LEED goals for the project are met and that NYS requirements are satisfied.
