The 17 -story concrete building built in 1931 at 345 Hudson Street in SoHo (south of Houston ) district at the south end of Manhattan .
The project will replace the methane-burning furnaces used today to send hot water to radiators located throughout the building and the separate air conditioning units.
Not only will the new system use ultra-efficient heat pumps, it will also capture and reuse waste heat that would otherwise be released into the atmosphere.
Underneath 555 Greenwich are 68 foundation columns, or piles, reaching 120 feet into the ground, where the temperature rarely dips below about 45 degrees Fahrenheit .
The heat pump uses this stability to its advantage: It’s connected to water and antifreeze-filled pipes within the piles that allow it to move heat efficiently into and out of the subterranean environment.
Heat redistribution within and among buildings is common in Scandinavian countries, where district heating systems are used frequently.
