Leading NYC Property Owner Implements Proactive Plan to Reduce Carbon Footprint of 139-Building Portfolio NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Vantage Properties, LLC, one of New York's leading owners of affordable residential and retail property, has begun a major initiative, in partnership with U.S. Energy Group, to reduce the carbon footprint of its 139-building portfolio in New York City. Using U.S. Energy’s state-of-the-art energy management and control technologies to optimize usage, waste and pollution will be dramatically reduced for each property. “Vantage is dedicated to setting the highest standards of quality for affordable housing,” said Neil Rubler, President and CEO of Vantage Properties, LLC. “We believe that incorporating innovative and sustainable property management practices is integral to the responsible and proactive maintenance of our properties and a step toward making New York a healthier urban environment.” Most multi-family buildings use a single outside sensor to control cycling of the fuel-energy system - a method which is highly inaccurate, often resulting in the burning of excess fuel and, therefore, increased pollution. Vantage is implementing U.S. Energy’s Energy Management System (EMS) which uses strategically placed sensors throughout each property to reach the ideal comfort level for all residents without waste. Consequently, the properties achieve increased energy efficiency while reducing overall operating costs.
