Altanova Launches Better-Building.com to Help NYC Building Owners Make Sense of Green Building

Long Island City, NY, September 14, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Altanova Energy + Sustainability is proud to announce the launch of www.better-building.com as a one stop resource for real estate professionals to understand the evolving sustainable real estate landscape. It is a response to a need Altanova has heard from building owners, developers, and property managers - the need for better, more straightforward information related to building sustainability/resilience. Particularly in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, more and more building owners are asking themselves what they can do to make their buildings more resilient to the vagaries of nature and energy prices.

With information about adhering to local laws including 87, 84, LEED, and a number of financing incentive programs including Enterprise Green Communities, and NYSERDA MPP, www.better-building.com seeks to streamline the learning process for real estate veterans and empower them with the information they need to make the most informed decisions for their real estate investments.

Better-Building.com makes it easier for businesses to tackle questions such as, “when does it make sense to make a large capital investment in sustainability?” “What are some of the most “low-hanging fruit” that property managers can use to improve building performance without making significant financing investments?” “How do I choose an energy auditor?” “Why invest in building resiliency?” “How can I make my building more energy efficient – and more resilient?” “How can I attract and retain the best residents?”

Launched in 2006, Altanova Energy + Sustainability is a sustainability consulting firm headquartered in the Long Island City neighborhood of New York City. Better-Building.com taps more than a decade’s worth of Altanova’s experience providing sustainability consulting services to the real estate sector – everything ranging from multifamily residential properties to large commercial properties. Altanova’s detailed experience with a variety of real estate holdings, as well as the variety of services we provide, gives us a unique breadth and depth of understanding of the real estate landscape.
