New Fixtures at 18 Brooklyn Developments Benefit More Than 36,000 Residents

NYCHA recently finished a $16.3 million energy-efficiency lighting project at 18 developments in Brooklyn, benefiting more than 36,000 residents and helping the Authority save almost $1.6 million in annual electricity costs. Con Edison contributed $5.6 million to cover a portion of the lighting installation, and 23 additional developments in Brooklyn will begin receiving these upgrades in September. NYCHA will use the savings in electricity costs to fund additional energy retrofits such as heating and hot water upgrades at additional developments. 

The developments that received lighting upgrades are: Williamsburg, Brownsville, Van Dyke I, Van Dyke II, Cooper Park, Tilden, Howard, Pink, Kingsborough, Kingsborough Extension, Cypress Hills, Sumner, Roosevelt I, Hughes Apartments, Woodson, Low Houses, Glenmore Plaza, and Unity Plaza (Sites 04-27).
