1 How can we improve the performance of mid-century office buildings while preserving our architectural heritage? ew York has thousands of commercial buildings built between 1950 and 1980, representing millions of square feet of real estate. According to the Rockefeller Foundation and Deutsche Bank Climate Change Advisors, improving the energy performance of pre- 1980s buildings could generate up to $1 trillion in savings over 10 years. Greening existing buildings is our city s biggest sustainability challenge. ur proposal for 200 Park Avenue preserves the most iconic element of the existing facade: its precast concrete shell. n the north and south, we add a new unitized curtainwall outboard of the concrete that uses emerging materials to generate energy while dynamically controlling solar heat gain and glare. n the east and west, we bring the new envelope inboard of the concrete to highlight the materiality and plasticity of the existing skin. Mid-century commercial buildings perform badly, and in some ways can never meet current standards for energy and comfort. While recladding these buildings might improve their performance, there is an architectural case for preserving midcentury facades as a part of the city fabric. There is also a strong case for avoiding the environmental impacts of demolition. By preserving and overcladding - instead of demolishing and recladding - our proposal reduces the building s environmental impact by 42% over the next 50 years. We see our approach as a template for making needed improvements to ew York s existing building stock. Performance-based preservation is a progressive approach to preservation that enables us to meet the challenges ahead without jettisoning the past. 1 of 10
2 Urban Context Emergy Comfort Materials & Labor Energy Recycle Renewable Resources Facade overcladding Building peration Economy Site heat sink The Pan Am Building has long been criticized for blocking the visual flow of Park Avenue. Since we cannot erase its bulk, our proposal covers the north and south facades with a skin of reflective glass to dematerialize the building s mass. At the east and west facades, we take the opposite approach: bringing the line of enclosure inboard of the existing precast concrete to highlight the building s materiality and depth. Compared to the existing building, our proposal reduces energy use by 54%, reduces carbon by 56%, and reduces the overall burden on our environment by 42% over the next 50 years. Concrete has a high embodied energy and is one of the least recyclable building materials. Rather than demolish the existing precast facade, we are preserving it and adding a high-performance overcladding. The new curtainwall integrates transparent photovoltaics and a switchable D interlayer into the glazing, generating energy and reducing direct solar gain. The dynamic glazing regulates occupant comfort by reducing glare without penalties for daylight penetration. Compared to the existing building, our proposal reduces glare by 91%. 2 of 10

Glazing on the south facade includes transparent photovoltaic and switchable liquid crystal interlayers. WT-02: Tower East and West Facade Aluminum and glass window wall system installed inboard of existing precast concrete facade. Includes decorative stainless steel cladding at head, sill and jambs and column covers. 3 of 10

The outer lite includes a transparent photovoltaic interlayer (tpv) that generates energy over the entire surface of the glass without obstructing views. 1 Behind the PV, a liquid crystal interlayer () allows switchable control of the visible light transmittance for occupant comfort and solar control. 2 A low-e coating on the #4 surface provides low backside hemispherical emissivity and the architecturally desired reflectivity. otes: 1. tpv such as emerging products from Ubiquitous Energy 2. switchable glazing, such as emerging products from EMD/Merck 3.
