Designed by Renzo Piano and FXFowle Architects, it features floor-to-ceiling high-performance solar-control glass, exterior fixed and movable shading, automated blinds, and integrated lighting system that together was optimized by the Windows and Daylighting Group at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). Photo courtesy of LBNL.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>New York City (NYC) Mayor Bill De Blasio certainly set the proverbial cat amongst the pigeons on Earth Day last week by publicly declaring: \u201cWe are going to introduce legislation to ban the glass and steel skyscrapers that have contributed so much to global warming.\u201d This and other provocative statements certainly made the architectural and glass and glazing community sit up and take notice.<\/p>\n<p>However, on closer investigation, it seems like De Blasio was using exaggeration as an attention getting tactic \u2013 one that clearly worked!<\/p>\n<p>The legislation in question would not actually seek to ban highly glazed fa\u00e7ades. It would just require them to meet more stringent energy requirements, therefore allowing only high-performance building envelopes. In principal, that seems a very reasonable stance, but of course, the devil is in the details.<\/p>\n<p><strong>But what about existing buildings?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While there has been plenty of discussion of this potential legislation for new buildings, NYC\u2019s newly passed <a href=\"https:\/\/enpg.com\/nycs-new-climate-mobilization-act\/\">Climate Change Mobilization Act<\/a> \u2013 aimed at improving <em>existing<\/em> building performance (the majority of buildings) \u2013 has largely gone undebated in our industry. This legislation was developed in response to a recent <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dec.ny.gov\/docs\/administration_pdf\/nycghg.pdf\">inventory<\/a> study, which showed that existing buildings accounted for 67% of the city\u2019s greenhouse gas emissions.<\/p>\n<p>This legislation has the potential to be more disruptive to the market by forcing owners to reduce greenhouse gas emissions of their buildings by 40% by 2030. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2019\/04\/25\/nyregion\/glass-skyscraper-ban-nyc.html\">Estimates<\/a> put the cost of compliance at $4 billion! The real estate community is not happy. Given the aging NYC building stock with single-pane, leaky windows and fa\u00e7ades, there is significant potential for full window and curtainwall replacement and providing owners with innovative solutions for historic preservation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Highly glazed fa\u00e7ades can have high energy performance<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In the fa\u00e7ade community, we know that highly glazed facades can already be designed to meet high energy performance levels. The technology is available and has been for some time. Consider the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_New_York_Times_Building\">New York Times Building<\/a> (now more than ten years old) in NYC, the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tower_at_PNC_Plaza\">Tower at PNC Plaza<\/a> in Pittsburgh, and <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.google.com\/a\/lbl.gov\/green-clean-mean\/flagship-projects\/genentech\">Genentech\u2019s flagship HTA fa\u00e7ade<\/a> in South San Francisco, which are great examples of high-performance fa\u00e7ades in the U.S. In addition, many manufacturers in the U.S. already have commercial R5 fenestration systems commercially available.<\/p>\n<p>These technologies and design strategies just need to be specified and \u2013 more critically important \u2013 building owners need to be willing to make the higher cost investment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Using building codes to drive adoption<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_611\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-611\" style=\"width: 344px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/usglassmag.com\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/NYT-building-facade-close-up-LBNL.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/usglassmag.com\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/NYT-building-facade-close-up-LBNL.jpg\" class=\"size-full wp-image-611 lazyload\" alt=\"\" width=\"344\" height=\"474\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-611\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-611\" src=\"https:\/\/usglassmag.com\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/NYT-building-facade-close-up-LBNL.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"344\" height=\"474\" srcset=\"https:\/\/usglassmag.com\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/NYT-building-facade-close-up-LBNL.jpg 344w, https:\/\/usglassmag.com\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/NYT-building-facade-close-up-LBNL-218x300.jpg 218w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 344px) 100vw, 344px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a> Photo courtesy of LBNL.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Many architectural design teams would love the opportunity to construct fa\u00e7ades to higher performance, but they are constrained by their client\u2019s budget and the relatively low baseline of the local jurisdiction\u2019s current energy code adoption. And so that\u2019s where more stringent codes come in.<\/p>\n<p>History has demonstrated that \u2013 unless forced to do so by codes or through lucrative tax incentives \u2013 markets will not widely adopt higher-performing systems where the payback on first costs are longer than three to five years.<\/p>\n<p>Non-mandatory \u201cstretch\u201d codes and standards (like ASHRAE 189.1, LEED and IgCC) can help validate technologies, designs and processes, but baseline mandatory codes are the levers that deliver more widespread adoption and subsequent improvements in cost effectiveness.<\/p>\n<p>While the risks of reducing window area to meet more stringent energy targets are real, the glazing technology is available to mitigate this risk, if the project investment is made.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The opportunity<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Both the legislation for existing buildings and that proposed for new buildings in NYC provide a potential opportunity to increase the adoption of high-performance aluminum and insulating glass solutions that are already available and to reduce their delivered cost. These solutions will need to include some, or all, of the following: Aluminum framing systems with wide, complex, thermal breaks; double skin fa\u00e7ades; multi-cavity insulating glass, high-performance warm-edge spacers and glass coatings; and dynamic shading or glazing.<\/p>\n<p>Envelope retrofits are a win for both the planet and the population. Occupants sitting next to these fa\u00e7ades will enjoy much better thermal and visual comfort, while still enjoying the access to daylight and views, and all the accompanying improvements in productivity and wellness that we know these provide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New York City (NYC) Mayor Bill De Blasio certainly set the proverbial cat amongst the pigeons on Earth Day last week by publicly declaring: \u201cWe are going to introduce legislation to ban the glass and steel skyscrapers that have contributed so much to global warming.\u201d This and other provocative statements certainly made the architectural and <\/p>\n<div class=\"read-more-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/usglassmag.com\/insights\/2019\/05\/de-blasios-legislation-risk-or-opportunity\/\" class=\"read-more\">continue reading<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":613,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-609","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-insights_n_inspirations"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>De Blasio\u2019s Legislation: Risk or Opportunity?
