Syracuse, NY -- King & King Architects, of Syracuse, and IBC Engineering PC, of Rochester, recently received national recognition for King & King’s “green” headquarters building near downtown.
The companies were among 18 to receive awards from the American Council of Engineering Companies at a gala in Washington, D.C.
King & King worked with IBC to turn a 100-year-old industrial building at 358 W. Jefferson St. into an energy-efficient work space. It incorporates high-efficiency boilers and chillers, solar panels, rooftop vegetation and reflective materials, the companies said in a news release.
The building is seeking the top rating — platinum — under the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design criteria.
In March, ACEC’s New York affiliate honored King & King and IBC with awards for the green renovation project.
The group’s top statewide award went to another Syracuse company, C&S Engineers, for its remediation of the Midler Crossing brownfield site for the Pioneer Cos. About 90,000 gallons of two industrial cleaning chemicals were removed through a process that heated the ground, collected toxic vapors and cleaned them.
C&S was honored for its innovative application of new or existing technologies, complexity, future value to the engineering profession and exceeding client needs.
