Greenest Office in the US?

Light Filled Corridor

Light Filled Corridor

Recently redesigned, right in the middle of New York City, Audubon’s new HQ has been awarded the highest point total of ANY commercial interior in the world by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) within its Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Program.

Achieved at only a 10% premium over the cost of less environmentally friendly renovations, the space’s green design features have a payback period of 10 – 15 years.

Some clever features incorporated into the offices include:

  • An Under-Floor Heating and Cooling system which utilises the Natural Bouyancy of Air
  • Lights that Dim according to the Level of Daylight Present
