The New York Climate Exchange, located on Governor’s Island, is one of the most technically ambitious sustainability projects in the world — and it's designed from the start to be replicated. A few highlights of what's being built:

• Mass timber and geothermal wells (the first large-scale application in NYC)

• A solar canopy that offsets 100% of the South Building's energy use

• New buildings using 70% less energy than typical NYC buildings

• Campus raised to 18 feet above grade for sea level and storm surge resilience

• Living shoreline tidal wetland for coastal resilience and water quality

• 90% of operational waste diverted from landfill — pursuing True Zero Waste certification

• 80% of construction waste diverted, with salvaged and upcycled materials

• Full Red List material exclusion under Living Building Challenge

The Exchange's mission goes beyond the site: accelerate technology adoption, de-risk innovation for owners, drive policy and market shifts, and build a model the rest of the built environment can follow.

On July 30, three members of the team behind this project is joining Metricorps to share what they're learning: the strategies, the hard lessons, and how a living lab becomes a replicable framework. Free, open practitioner conversation, Q&A.
