The project was severely impacted by Superstorm Sandy with all of the new equipment flooded. In the post-Sandy rebuild, NYCEEC provided a $2.8 million loan to refinance the ESA structure and fund deeper energy efficiency improvements and resiliency measures including State-of-the-art digital controls, building management system, high-efficiency variable speed motors, floor isolation dampers, and district steam to gas conversion.
