The recently completed retrofit at 360 Bridge Street in Brooklyn is a 400,000 sq. ft. telecommunications hub operated by Verizon. This project worked on by Emtec Consulting Engineers serves as a masterclass in how massive, energy-intensive facilities can achieve full electrification through heat recovery.

Historically, this seven-story landmark faced a common industrial inefficiency: server rooms required constant cooling via distributed CRAC units, while office spaces were simultaneously heated by aging fuel oil-fired steam boilers. By reimagining these isolated systems as a single, integrated loop, the Emtec design team turned “waste heat” into a primary energy source.
