From a View on Court Street to Overseeing the Entire City
Brooklyn Daily Eagle
by Samuel Newhouse
An article on the new chief of NYC Buildings Department's legal unit includes this tidbit:
The DOB’s office, for example, has a white roof, which helps keep the building at a cooler temperature without expending as much energy. New developments at the Atlantic Yards site in Downtown Brooklyn will have the same cool white roofs.
Unless, of course, those cool white roofs cost one penny more than any another type of roof, in which case, they'll go the way of just about every other Atlantic Yards promise.
