Overview
Greenbelt is now Brooklyn’s first building to receive L.E.E.D Gold certification. As implied by its name, this energy-efficient, five-story complex contains eight condos and a 4,000-square-foot arts facility on the ground floor. Greenbelt is Brooklyn’s first mixed-use facility and arts center to receive this high L.E.E.D rating. The building also won the Brooklyn Building Award in the Mixed Use Category and the Cinderella Award for Excellence in Energy Efficient Design. Sustainable features of Greenbelt include Energy Star and low wattage lighting fixtures, rooftop solar panels to power common elements in building such as elevator and hall lighting and smart systems controls such as occupancy sensors to control lighting and reduced energy consumption.
