Energy conservation and solar energy measures for two old buildings, different in scale and character, that are being recycled by the Neighborhood Committee for the Asphalt Green into a community Sports and Arts Center and an Environmental Studies Center are described. The approch taken by the Authority in developing the integrated energy system design for the larger, commercial-scale Sports and Arts Center was to incorporate energy conservation and renewable energy measures that minimize life-cycle costs. Energy costs will be reduced from about $50,000 per year (in 1979 dollars) to $15,000 per year. The Environmental Studies Center, formerly a fireboat station on the East River, is a smaller residential-scale structure. The approach in developing the renovation plan was to assess retrofit potential for cost-effective energy consrvation, solar domestic hot water, and active and passive solar space heating. Energy measures were selected which would maximize educational potential for school children and which could be replicated by the general public.
