Scope Of Work
CM&B partnered with Whole Foods Market on the construction of their new 56,000-SF and LEED Platinum food store. The entire 4-acre contaminated Brownfield site had to be remediated and redeveloped to preserve the Gowanus Canal it sits next to. The property features
320-KW solar array including nineteen individual solar/wind powered site parking light fixtures and six parking lot solar canopies which provide power back to the utility grid
Heating and cooling systems are integrated in a co-generation plant that includes a backup generator, heat reclaim systems and chillers which provide heating, cooling, and hot water to the store
On-site water management system recycles rainwater and grey water for non-potable uses including restroom fixtures and irrigation
20,000-SF rooftop greenhouse uses hydroponic technology to harvest fresh produce for the store
