2024 Summer Issue of Urban Land - 49
Sustainability
In a release, KPF calls One Vanderbilt the
" rare skyscraper designed with climate
change in mind. " But the goal posts continue
to move as industry expectations change in
terms of sustainability. In 2021, for example,
New York City passed a law, banning the
use of fossil fuels in new construction, that's
taking effect now. This is on top of its Local
Law 97, which places caps on greenhouse
gas emissions from existing large buildings.
" Because LL97 regulates emissions, not
energy use, building owners must evaluate
efficiency initiatives in terms of emissions, not
just energy. Because the city has set 2030
electricity emissions factors based on New
York state's aggressive grid decarbonization
goals (50 percent lower than 2024's), LL97 is
pushing building owners to electrify systems
now powered by fossil fuels, " writes Christopher
Cayten, a principal and head of strategy
at CodeGreen Sustainability, in the Spring
2024 issue of Urban Land.
" [SL Green] should still get a lot of credit
for being willing to take that risk and do the
technology choice of the moment that made
the most sense, sustainability-wise, " Schantz
says.
One Vanderbilt stands as an inspiration
for other developers to reach for-and implement-the
highest technology available. For
example, from the observation deck of One
Vanderbilt, visitors can see 270 Park Avenue-
the JPMorgan Chase Building-a 60-story
skyscraper about a half mile away that is set
to become the tallest New York structure
powered wholly by hydroelectric energy when
it opens in 2025. Tishman Speyer is its developer,
and Foster + Partners is the architect.
One Vanderbilt achieved LEED v4 Gold,
which is " night and day harder " than LEED v3,
Schantz notes. " They got points for rainwater
management and heat island reduction, optimized
energy performance, enhanced indoor
air-quality strategies, low-emitting materials ...
it's a really holistically sustainable building. "
" The building opened in 2020 [and] was
designed to a best-in-class sustainable measure,
based on a 2014 blueprint, " says Schiffer.
SL Green initially sought to achieve LEED v3
The base of One Vanderbilt
cuts away to preserve a
view of the historic 1913
Grand Central Terminal.
Opened in 2020, during the
pandemic, the skyscraper
became an immediate
icon in a neighborhood of
iconic towers, including the
Empire State Building and
the Chrysler Building.
