1085 Washington Avenue is a new housing development project in the Morrisania neighborhood of the Bronx. The LEED certified building complex has 90-units and over 9,000 square feet of commercial space. Green building features include a 1,850 square foot green roof, high-efficiency boilers, a solar hot water system to pre-heat water before it reaches the boiler, low-flow faucets and shower heads, an additional layer of insulation and dual flush toilets. 1085 Washington Ave opened on September 29th, 2009.

Bright Power was contracted by Bronx Pro Real Estate Management, the owner, to design and oversee the installation of the solar thermal system of 24 collectors. The system provides approximately 15% of the domestic hot water for the building, thereby reducing the amount of energy used by the boiler.
