ABC Carpet Building
Oil to Electric Heat Pump Conversion

The ABC Carpet & Home building, located at 888 Broadway in New York City, is a historic landmark. The building dates back to the late 19th century. Samuel Weinrib originally built it in 1881, and started a carpet cleaning business. Over the decades, it evolved into a high-end home furnishings retailer. ABC Carpet is known for its eclectic and luxurious collections. The building itself, an example of cast-iron architecture, features intricate facades and grand interiors. It has become a beloved destination for New Yorkers and tourists alike. The ABC Carpet building symbolizes both the city's rich commercial history and its flair for design.

The energy efficiency project at 880 Broadway earned accolades for its transformative impact on sustainability. The property manager, honored with the BOMA NY Manager of the Year award 2023, collaborated with Cutone & Company Consultants to drive change. Their focus? Electrification.

By replacing an aging oil-fired steam boiler with clean energy heat pumps, significant strides were made in reducing carbon emissions and enhancing energy efficiency. Through a robust tenant engagement program, flagship restaurant Jean-Georges identified opportunities for clean energy efficiency improvements. With support from the property manager and consultants, Jean-Georges embarked on a tailored energy efficiency program, setting a new standard for sustainable practices in the real estate industry.
