What exactly is the Empire Building Challenge and how does it further sustainability?

Question

Has the Empire Building Challenge which aims at achieving high-rise building sustainability, caught anyone’s attention?

Answer 1

The Empire Building Challenge is a project providing New York City high-rise owners with funding worth $50 million to test new innovative retrofit technologies. The aim should be focused on retrofitting existing old buildings, since about 80 to 90 per cent of buildings in use are old ones. The most effective aspects will be disseminated throughout the entire New York State in order to build a whole structure of effective solutions.
