The Empire State BuildingCreate a transparent, replicable, quantitative program for cost justified energy efficiencyreinvestment with monitored and verified operating costs reductions and payback analysis
102 stories and 2.95 million square feet
4.0 million visitors per year
$11 million in annual energy costs
Peak electric demand of 9.5 MWdown from 11.6 (3.8 W/sf incl. HVAC)

In 2006, ownership set an upgrade program to reposition and repurpose the Empire State Building. In 2008, energy efficiency was made a priority.
1) Reposition the world's most famous office building into a Pre-War Trophy asset
2) Prove or disprove energy efficiency retrofits’ economic viability
3) Use our work to publicize and differentiate our building andattract tenants
4) Produce a replicable model for energy efficiency retrofits ofexisting buildings, which will make up 85% of buildings in placein New York City in 2030
5) “If the only place we succeed is ESB, the effort is a failure."
Objective and Motivation
![Page 7: The Empire State Building](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062410/568159e8550346895dc733c7/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Achieve financial return & carbon output reductionESB can reduce energy use cost-effectively and CO2 reduction comes along for free
A solution that balances CO2
reductions and financial returnsis in this range.
There are diminishing (andexpensive) returns forgreater efficiency.

WINDOWS: Refurbishment of existing 6,514 duo-pane in an on site facility increased insulationfrom R-2 to R-8. Process included the addition of suspended, coated film and new krytpon/ argongas fill. 96% of original glass and frames were reused.

RADIATIVE BARRIER: Installed more than six-thousand insulated reflective barriers behindradiator units located on the perimeter of the building. Virtually no building has this insulation.

VAV AIR HANDLING UNITS: Replacing existing constant volume units with variable air volumeunits using a new air handling layout (two floor-mounted units per floor instead of four ceiling-hung units). Units are replaced as tenant spaces are rebuilt.

MeasuresDDC CONTROLS: The measure involved upgrading the existing control systems at theEmpire State Building with one of the largest wireless networks ever installed.
Real-time facilities performance index monitoring used for continuous commissioning ofHVAC systems.

Integration of efficiency measuresThe key to the ESB process is integrating the right steps in the right order. Eight interactivesteps were chosen out of more than 60 considered… no “Silver Bullet”.

“Green” vs. Energy Efficient RetrofitsCommon definitions of “Green” buildings omit measured and verified energy efficiency.Energy efficient retrofits focus on quantifiable energy efficiency measures.
Green Building Practices
• Renewable, recycled-content, reused and locally produced materials
• Indoor air quality (voc-free materials, DCV)
• Recycling programs• Water reduction• Green cleaning• Green pest management
Energy Efficient Retrofits
• Reduce loads• Provide controls• Optimize systems efficiency• Integrated, lifecycle approach• Reduce energy usage • Quantifiable metrics• Guaranteed savings• Measurable payback and
return on investment
