Whitney Young Manor is a low-income, mixed use residential building located in Yonkers, NY. The property consists of two (2) 12 story residential towers connected by a podium that accommodates a parking garage and commercial tenant spaces. The building is 234,000 square feet and houses 195 apartments. The building was constructed in 1974 with MEP systems that coincide with that era. Energy efficiency, sustainability, and decarbonization were the major focus of this $22 million revitalization. The project was selected by NYSERDA as part of The Empire Building Challenge competition for building owners to implement phased, strategic plans towards achieving carbon neutrality. The project includes a Sewage Heat Recovery (SHARC) wastewater storage and energy recovery system.

Development of a Clean Energy Master Plan (CEMP) for the SUNY Purchase College campus, comprising 49 buildings totaling approximately 2,559,697 square feet. The primary purpose of the CEMP was to conduct a deep energy retrofit analysis and develop a roadmap to transition the campus toward net-zero energy performance in accordance with the State University of New York (SUNY) Directive 1B-2. Directive 1B-2 establishes specific Energy Use Intensity (EUI) targets for existing buildings and defines requirements related to building electrification and carbon emissions reductions. As part of the CEMP, Loring performed an ASHRAE Level II Energy Audit and identified potential Energy Conservation Measures (ECMs) across multiple implementation packages, reflecting the diverse mix of academic, residential, performance, and support facilities across the campus. An optimized package was developed in consultation with SUNY and incorporated into the final Clean Energy Master Plan. In addition, a feasibility study was conducted to evaluate opportunities for Real-Time Energy Monitoring (RTEM) and electrical sub-metering across the campus.

Development of a Clean Energy Master Plan (CEMP) for the SUNY Downstate Medical Center campus, comprising 24 buildings totaling approximately 3,314,371 square feet. The primary purpose of the CEMP was to conduct a deep energy retrofit analysis and develop a roadmap to transition the campus toward net-zero energy performance in accordance with the State University of New York (SUNY) Directive 1B-2. Directive 1B-2 establishes specific Energy Use Intensity (EUI) targets for existing buildings and defines requirements related to building electrification and carbon emissions reductions. As part of the CEMP, Loring performed an ASHRAE Level II Energy Audit and identified potential Energy Conservation Measures (ECMs) across multiple implementation packages, with particular consideration given to the operational complexity and resiliency requirements of an active academic medical campus. An optimized package was developed in consultation with SUNY and incorporated into the final Clean Energy Master Plan. In addition, a feasibility study was conducted to evaluate opportunities for Real-Time Energy Monitoring (RTEM) and electrical sub-metering across the campus.

Development of an Energy Reduction Plan (ERP) for the portfolio of buildings operated by the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation (NYC Parks). The ERP formalizes a comprehensive strategy to reduce energy use and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in alignment with the requirements and targets established under New York City Local Law 97 (LL97) of 2019 for City-owned buildings. The ERP emphasizes near-term actions over a 10-year planning horizon, with an extrapolation toward long-term emissions reduction goals through 2050, and establishes a project execution roadmap to meet or exceed City targets. The scope of work included the following key tasks: -Task 1: ERP project management, including development of a comprehensive project management plan to guide the ERP process. -Task 2: Review of compiled NYC Parks and New York City Department of Citywide Administrative Services (DCAS) data, identification of missing information required to complete the ERP, and development of a Data Collection and Gap Elimination Plan. -Task 3: ASHRAE Level II Energy Audits, building envelope assessments, and/or asset inventory and condition assessments for a representative sample of key NYC Parks facility typologies. -Task 4: Development of a comprehensive and actionable Energy Master Plan report to support coordination across internal NYC Parks units and to inform project planning and implementation in support of intermediate and long-term emissions reduction goals.

Restoration, modernization, and conversion of this 99,000-SF historic structure built in the early 19th century and originally used as the Old City Hall. Its most recent use has been that of a courthouse whose activities were gradually transferred to other facilities as the building ultimately lapsed into disuse. As part of a DC Court consolidation program, the scope of this project included a total renovation and restoration of the original building while upgrading its infrastructure to "state-of-the-art" and converting it to serve as the District of Columbia Court of Appeals. The project included a 40,000-SF addition and a two-level, 90,000-SF underground parking structure.

Mechanical, electrical, plumbing and telecom engineering services for major mechanical systems upgrades / replacements in coordination with the comprehensive historic restoration of the approx. 130,000 sf Executive State House building. The scope of work includes new mechanical and electrical services / systems throughout the building in coordination with rigorous historic architectural guidelines. The scope of work includes new dual 5kV electric service with auto- transfer to standby feeder as well as a new generator plant with paralleled (2) 1,000kW generators; as well as complete IT and DAS systems. Schematic design options for the generator included paralleled 5kV generators; design includes 480V generator and step-up transformers for 5kV site distribution. Scope in the adjacent LSB Building includes upgrade and replacement of existing pumps and heat exchangers and coordination with incoming Veolia chilled and high temp hot water service in order to service the additional project load demands. Built in 1790 in the American Renaissance style, it is the second-oldest state house in continuous legislative use in the United States.
