THE ADVANTAGES OF GREEN CLEANING FOR COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS AND PUBLIC FACILITIES

Green cleaning  is a trend on the rise – in our homes, workplaces, institutions, and public buildings. But why is it becoming so popular? What is the point of making sure our cleaning products and methods are “green”? What Is Green Cleaning? Green cleaning involves a combination of cleaning methods, equipment, products, and policies that are designed with one goal in mind:  to maximize effective cleaning results while minimizing negative impacts on health and the environment. With that in mind, the following are the key benefits of green cleaning: 1.     Green Cleaning Safeguards Building Occupant Health Whether you are in charge of hiring the cleaning company for an  office building ,  a school , or  a public facility , you want to keep the people in your building healthy.

These green squares could soon make NYC’s air a whole lot better

Air quality just keeps getting better in New York. But it could still be a lot better. And thanks to a new piece of tech, living in Manhattan may get even healthier. Green City Solutions  recently unveiled a green air filtration system that has the same air-purifying effect as 275 trees. Using a specific moss culture, the green square sucks pollutants from the air, according to Curbed. The system has already been installed in 20 locations in Oslo, Paris, Brussels and Hong Kong and it could soon arrive in Manhattan — at a cost of about $25,000 a pop. Still, the Citytree claims to have other benefits: it can double as a park bench, as ad space or as a wifi hotspot. https://therealdeal.com/2017/07/02/these-green-square-could-soon-make-nycs-air-a-whole-lot-better/ 

About 11M sf of industrial space has vanished in NYC. Here’s what happened to it

By  Eddie Small  |  June 28, 2017 02:01PM New York City lost more than 11 million square feet of industrial space to rezonings between 2007 and 2016, according to a new report. Although several large rezonings of manufacturing space in the city went into effect during the early 2000s, millions of industrial square feet have also been rezoned over the past decade, an analysis by Ariel Property Advisors found. Some properties been transformed into residential lofts and offices, but a surprising amount remains vacant — about 2.3 million square feet. The majority of these rezonings in the last decade took place in Manhattan, which lost 4.54 million square feet of industrial space across 230 lots, and Brooklyn, which lost 4.12 million square feet across 454 lots, the data show. Queens lost 1.28 million square feet of industrial space across 368 lots, while the Bronx lost 1.05 million square feet across 124 lots, and Staten Island lost just 63,519 square feet across 15 lots, accordi

City Urges Developers to Build Office Buildings in East New York

The city has launched an initiative to attract developers who want to build new office projects in East New York, Brooklyn, which was rezoned last year as part of  Mayor  Bill de Blasio ’s plan to build and preserve 200,000 units of affordable housing over the next decade. The  New York City Economic Development Corporation  released a  request for proposals  today seeking firms that want to build new office space or substantially renovate an existing commercial building in the working class neighborhood. The city’s  Human Resources Administration  is looking for 250,000 square feet in the area, but it will commit to leasing anywhere from 50,000 to 300,000 square feet in a building, functioning as an anchor tenant. Ideally, the agency would fill no more than 50 percent of the project, according to the RFP. It’s looking for a 20-year lease, with renewal options of five years each. The proposal is meant to support the mayor’s newly released  jobs plan , which aims to create 100,000
