DASNY: Leading by example in operational energy use optimization.
DASNY finances and builds the health, education and scientific facilities that form the backbone of sustainable communities. DASNY’s knowledgeable staff works tirelessly to create solutions that support the goals of its clients and New York State, including increasing energy efficiency in public buildings and significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Dozens of DASNY projects have earned LEED certification from the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), including Lehman College’s Science Facility Phase 1 (LEED Platinum), University at Albany’s Mohawk Tower (LEED Gold) and Buffalo State’s Tower 1 (LEED Silver).
