Are you looking to buy a condo in New York City that’s good for you and the environment? Check out condos in buildings with sustainable features like Passive House construction, LEED certification, and environmentally-friendly materials. 

You’re most likely going to find these condos in new luxury developments—so they aren’t cheap. But you will save some money in other ways because eco-friendly features and materials reduce energy consumption, lowering your monthly utility costs. 

Need to know what to look for? Search for Passive House buildings, which have energy recovery ventilators (ERVs) to create a steady flow of filtered air, with stale air carried out and fresh air pumped in. And buildings with LEED certification means the design, construction, and operations are eco-friendly and reduce energy consumption.
