  • 1. Architectural features include photovoltaic cells that are integrated into the building fa?ade not only to generate electricity, but to make a public statement about the energy conservation measures designed into The Solaire.

    2. Floor to Ceiling Windows: Studies have shown that human health, emotional outlook and even performance of every day tasks are enhanced by the receipt of more daylight. That's why the windows at The Solaire allow 100% more natural light into bedrooms and 200% more into living rooms than required by the New York City Building Code
