We sought to revitalize Arverne View, then named Ocean Village, through a large-scale preservation initiative. Situated just steps from the water, Arverne View was not originally built to withstand the challenges inherent to its location. The 40-year old complex was designed in modules that gradually separated with age. Over time, the structural perforations throughout the complex resulted in recurring air and water leaks, which negatively impacted all critical systems, not to mention operational costs and tenant comfort.
The depth of the issues identified at Arverne View necessitated a holistic approach, leaving no stone unturned to ensure that our solutions were complete and the results were long-lasting. Bright Power worked with L+M to develop a sustainability strategy that would address the symptoms and causes of the deep-seated energy problems in all critical systems. We facilitated energy improvements and solar PV and battery storage design and installation that greatly improved residents’ quality of life to help stimulate occupancy and provide the owners with the capital they needed to keep Arverne View up and running for years to come.
