DASNY Goes for Gold – Again!
|
It’s so nice, we’ve done it twice! DASNY’s headquarters in Albany has been recertified as LEED-EB (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design – Existing Building) Gold by the
U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC).
Having secured its initial Gold designation in 2012, DASNY’s headquarters in Albany is one of the first New York State government existing buildings to be LEED rated. The energy efficient improvements made to secure recertification reaffirm DASNY’s commitment to sustainable approaches and green initiatives.
“DASNY helps clients throughout New York curb their energy usage and reduce operating costs,” said DASNY President & CEO Dr. Gerrard P. Bushell. “It is paramount that DASNY leads by example and makes its own positive commitment to energy saving practices. By operating as efficiently as possible, we will dramatically reduce DASNY’s energy usage and generate savings for the State.”
Improvements at DASNY’s headquarters at 515 Broadway included replacing interior lighting with innovative light fixtures to provide more light for building occupants, while reducing energy usage by approximately 30 percent. In addition, exterior lighting, including street lights, was replaced with energy efficient LED lights.
DASNY educates and encourages clients to engage in continual improvement using tracking and user engagement strategies. Through ongoing processes focused on energy optimization, DASNY has saved more than $2.5 million in energy costs at its Albany headquarters since 2009.

DASNY had the privilege of being one of the featured presenters at the annual New York State MWBE Forum at the Empire State Plaza in Albany.
This year’s theme was “Grow with New
York State.”

“We are continually evolving so we may better provide for our clients and all New Yorkers,” said Dr. Bushell. “This is a process that began at the start of my tenure in 2015 when I became President and CEO of DASNY.
This is not a job, it is a mission. I am focused on furthering DASNY's mission by delivering exceptional financial, design, and construction services.
And we have completed much at DASNY.”
Firms in attendance were able to learn how to do business with DASNY and hear about upcoming procurement opportunities.
In addition, they had the opportunity to meet DASNY team members including: Managing Director of Construction Steve Curro, Managing Director of Public Finance and Portfolio Monitoring Portia Lee, Managing Senior Director of Construction Paul Koopman and Senior Director of Resource Acquisition | Opportunity Programs Michael Clay.
