Energy Monitors

New No Rio is designed to be built and operated with a minimal impact to the environment. The building will be constructed of or contain many of the now standard sustainable building features. One of the more technical aspects, and also where EWB-NY has a larger stake, is with the building MEP systems.


EnergyFlow Monitor

As a means to measure and verify building performance, and also as a tool to educate the building users and general public, we are recommending the installation of a Noveda energy monitor. Installed in the main lobby or other central location, Noveda offers software that is visually engaging and clearly demonstrates energy consumption patterns.
