Laws capping building emissions could be gold for proptech
Mentioned in the article are Radiator Labs, 475 High Performance Building Supply, BlocPower and Enertiv, all graduates of the Future Labs at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering.
Brooklyn-based 475 High Performance Building Supply has had some successes since its 2012 founding, most notably its role in helping build North America's first high-rise "passive house." … Marshall Cox, who founded Radiator Labs in 2011, can even boast of having his type of product mentioned in the City Council bill. … Cox built the company at NYU Tandon's clean-energy incubator and has been ramping up deployment of the insulated steel covers since a report from the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority a year ago showed they could reduce heating costs by an average of 25%. He has 3,000 covers in about 25 buildings, is installing 5,000 more in 15 buildings and is doubling staff to 20 employees at the company's Brooklyn Navy Yard headquarters.
