Kalahari Harlem is a green building designed and built to the US Green Building Council's LEED Silver Standards, the nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction, and operation of high performance green buildings. The Kalahari uses 31% less energy than residential buildings that comply with the NYS Energy Code. No other new buildings being offered in upper Manhattan have been certified that they even meet the NYS Energy Code. That means homeowners at the Kalahari will each spend $1,200 dollars less per year on energy than most other new condo owners. By 2030, assuming a 3% annual growth rate in energy cost and 5% earnings on savings, Kalahari homeowners will collectively have earned $21.9 million in energy savings by doing something good for themselves, the city and the earth. The Kalahari reduces a substantial portion of the burden on the city's electrical infrastructure and helps with the financial load of Kalahari buyers. More on Kalahari Green
