Our Work in action
The art of making stained glass windows is about 1,000 years old. Traditionally, stained glass was used in churches, synagogues, mosques, and other religious edifices. They were primarily used to tell a story to the lay people that were largely illiterate at the time.
When we talk about windows and window design, it is easy to focus on the many types of window styles, sizes, interior and exterior finishes, even hardware. But we’re there’s one item that every single window has: glass.
We worked on this handsome red brick Landmark, installing ten custom high performance windows from Jeld-Wen on four levels.
Double-hung windows are one of the most common, and popular, window styles. They consist of two sashes, one hung over the other. The lower sash raises and the upper sash lowers, with the potential for the two sashes to bypass each other.
New York City’s 2019 Climate Mobilization Act includes a goal to reduce overall carbon emissions by 80 percent by 2050, by 2030 an estimated 50,000 residential and commercial buildings will need to collectively cut their carbon emissions by 40 percent, and intermediate reductions begin in 2024.
Local Law 97, or the Building Emissions Law, is the cornerstone of New York City’s Climate Mobilization Act. It’s one of the most ambitious climate change laws on the books.
