Manhattan Green Office Space

Green space often features energy efficient lighting, finishes that don't release volatile organic compounds (VOCs), a recycling area, paper products that include recycled content, as well as furniture that is second-hand or made from salvaged materials. Green office spaces may also provide bicycle storage for tenants. Some green office buildings are powered by renewable energy sources, including solar panels or wind turbines.

 

The U.S. Green Building Council has established standards, including those for green office buildings, under the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification program. Buildings and interiors must meet guidelines for energy efficiency, material use, air quality and water savings, among others. Renting office space within a LEED certified building eliminates some of the guesswork, but an office space doesn't necessarily have to be certified to be green.

 

Green office space saves you money. By sharing amenities such as meeting rooms and office equipment, your monthly costs are reduced while energy and resources are conserved. When you rent green, you also create a marketing opportunity for your business; let your clients know that the environment is your priority.

Green office space is available for rent in a variety of Manhattan neighborhoods, including the Financial District and Midtown. Well known green office buildings include the Bank of America Tower and the New York Times building. In Brooklyn, there are several building that offer green office space in DUMBO.
