Sustainable Design for Kids in Queens NYC
30 Jul 2015, Posted by in Events
Last year the Children’s Library Discovery Center at Queens Central Library received LEED Gold Certification! The sustainable design features consist of a high-performance façade, energy-efficient mechanical systems and lighting, radiant floor heating, recycled and low-emitting materials, and water conservation. These features are highlighted graphically throughout the building to inform visitors about the sustainable aspects of the space.
Head over to Queens Public Libraries this Summer for their Sustainable Architecture for Kids programs and the National Grid Energy Fair!
