Jacobs Group (with DJM Construction and structural engineers WSP Cantor), every aspect of the 6875-m<sup>2<\/sup> (74,000-sf) concrete structure is intended to consider its impact on the environment. Green attributes are found everywhere from the cabinets and HVAC to the rainwater irrigation system and vegetated roof. To ensure ultimate efficiency, light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have been mounted throughout the building and solar shades installed above the windows.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, thermal break connections are being used in the balconies on the 11th through 14th floors to further enhance the building\u2019s energy performance. Recently approved by the NYC Department of Buildings, these 52 concrete-to-concrete thermal breakmodules are being installed on 10 of the 2.3 x 4.9-m (7 \u00bd x 16-ft) balconies at Chelsea Green to deal with thermal bridging otherwise occurring where the envelope is penetrated.<\/p>\n<p>Each balcony at Chelsea Green is cantilevered out 2.3 m on 203-mm (8-in.) thick tapered concrete slabs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTraditional balcony attachments deal primarily with only the structural cantilever and, as a result, transmit exterior temperatures to the interior floor slabs, adding to the energy use of the unit,\u201d said Alfa\u2019s senior project manager, Frank Mattiello. \u201cThis thermal bridge effect can be felt when walking barefoot in one\u2019s apartment\u2014even when the heating or cooling systems are in operation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The structural thermal breaks provide load-bearing thermal insulation for these slabs and transfer bending moment stress and shear forces. Their integrated hanging and tensile reinforcement mitigates use of other costly elements like stirrups or hooped mat.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a major breakthrough for combating thermal bridging in New York City residential buildings,\u201d said Stephen B. Jacobs Group\u2019s Omalawa Abdullah-Musa. \u201cThe process for getting this product incorporated into the project was challenging, since it was relatively unknown to most structural engineers here. Chelsea Green has set the tone for future projects, and we are looking forward to spreading the word about this innovative technology.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To read the full article, click <a
