The climate-friendly 14-storey Chestnut Commons, one of New York City’s most energy-efficient buildings, is reserved for low-income households and is an example of how the city is working to provide more affordable housing while decarbonizing and electrifying homes, offices, schools and other properties.

A handful of sustainable developments like Chestnut Commons are already in the works across the city’s five boroughs.
