Dagher Engineering PLLC is pleased to announce its acceptance of a 2016 ACEC New York Platinum Award for work on 35XV: Optimized Design for Mixed-Use in the category of Building/Technology Systems.
The American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC) of New York has announced the winners for the 2016 Engineering Excellence Awards. Projects selected for either Silver, Gold, Platinum, or Diamond Awards have been judged against a rigorous set of criteria, which includes complexity, innovation, and value to society.
Dagher Engineering PLLC is pleased to announce its acceptance of a 2016 ACEC New York Platinum Award for work on 35XV: Optimized Design for Mixed-Use in the category of Building/Technology Systems. The project will be presented at the 49th Annual Engineering Excellence Awards Gala on March 19th this year.
Dagher worked with Alchemy Properties and FXFOWLE Architects through detailed coordination to handle all phases of Electro-Mechanical, Sanitary, and Life Safety systems (MEP/FP) for a unique mixed-use building in a densely populated Manhattan neighborhood. Through close coordination with all the members of the project team Dagher Engineering worked to optimize vertical space retaining air, light, and views for residents and neighbors, maximize floor area, and preserve energy through mixed-use development. Confined, or rather inspired, by the boundaries of neighborhood zoning laws, Dagher conceived of standard MEP/FP systems that complement 35XV’s luxury features and varied envelope. A highly complex design process resulted in a unique landmark.
In keeping with the firm’s culture for sustainability, Dagher provided LEED standard variable ventilation systems, energy recovery, and high-efficiency boilers, as part of the cost-effective and economical solutions for 35XV. Additionally, the success of the partnership between 35XV and Xavier High School is socially significant to small, cultural, or educational properties who are interested in becoming foundations to mixed-use buildings as well as to sustainable urbanization.
Dagher is honored to have worked with Alchemy and FXFOWLE on this landmark project and to receive recognition for its contributions to 35XV: Optimized Design for Mixed-Use.
