PROJECT DETAILS
- Solar Photovoltaic Array
As the first, net-zero carbon emissions senior housing in New York State, Colonial II Apartments features a vast solar array (215 kW). Situated adjacent to the building, the solar field sits over top of a geothermal well field to maximize green space. The solar array covers 98% of the building’s annual electricity supply. The rehabilitation of Colonial II Apartments was awarded $1 million through the State’s Buildings of Excellence Competition, which aims to foster net-zero carbon multifamily facilities in New York State.
