Vital Brookdale, located in Brownsville, Brooklyn, represents a pioneering approach to addressing housing disparities and promoting sustainability in Central Brooklyn. This 7-story, 160-unit Phius+ 2015 residential building provides its low-income population with verified thermal comfort, superior air quality, and deep energy savings through a highly efficient envelope and mechanical systems, supplemented by on-site generation technology. The building was designed to ensure efficient temperature regulation throughout the year to promote passive resiliency while operating at a low heating and cooling demand.

One of the first ten community distributed generation installations on a cooperative in New York State and one of the first in New York City and on a landmarked building.

Bright Power is working with the La Central design team to incorporate efficiency and solar photovoltaic (PV) into the 1.1 million square feet, five-building complex.

Bright Power worked with L+M Development Partners to design and build a large-scale 479 kW solar PV array on 22 of the 32 buildings in the complex, which combined with a 300 kW / 1200 kWh energy storage system (ESS) and 400 kW fuel cell has transformed MGA into one of the first resilient microgrid projects in NYC.

On a roof that many others would deem a bad fit for solar due to the location of the bulkheads, the orientation of the building, and the HVAC equipment, we knew a conventional solar PV design would not work.

Bright Power worked with L+M Development Partners to develop a sustainability strategy that would address the symptoms and causes of the deep-seated energy problems in all critical systems.

Omni New York, LLC combines Passive House, solar PV, and cogeneration for controlled operating costs. Park Avenue Green received its Passive House certification in March 2019 and is the largest Passive House certified project to date.

First new development for Omni New York, LLC brings energy efficiency and on-site generation technologies to the Bronx. Having previously worked together on many existing buildings, Omni felt confident in designing their first new construction project with Bright Power.

The Association of New York Catholic Homes goes beyond simply building to code, bringing energy efficiency and quality housing to low-income residents of the Bronx.
