This is especially true of doors, windows and trim, as
well as exterior elements such as masonry or stone work.
We have also salvaged structural elements such as wooden
and steel beams from building portions being demolished for
re-use on structures being renovated.
In one instance we re-used an entire building by moving
and incorporating it into a new building design planned on the
same site, resulting in substantial savings.
DiGeronimo
routinely incorporates sustainable design into our renovation
projects for the U.S. Postal Service, as participation in the
USPS Green Building Program.
Most recently, for the Newark Main Post Office and Court
House restoration, we saved and re-used existing door hardware
and refurbished old lighting fixtures to original
specifications. Lighting specifications also included the use of
new energy efficient light bulbs.
For the Morgan
Street Post Office Window Replacement project in New York City,
we are currently specifying triple-glazed insulated windows to
replace the older style single-pane units.
The new windows reduce the effect of exterior heat and
cold on the building’s interior, thus lessening the burden of
the heating and cooling systems.
For the Hoboken
Main Post Office DiGeronimo designed a complete upgrade of the
existing HVAC system incorporating two important energy
conserving features. The
upgraded system included computerized temperature sensing
controls and cycling of outside air. Thus energy is saved in two
ways: (1) the system is automatically adjusted in response to
the presence of people in the effected areas and (2) energy is
saved by cycling cool air into a warm building from outside (or
warm air into a cool building from outside) rather than cooling
(or heating) the air that is in the building.
Committed to
providing exceptional, dependable architectural service,
DiGeronimo provides creative solutions to complex building
problems. Our success is best illustrated by our record of
