Dow Building Science

One Vanderbilt, the tallest office tower in New York City’s premier business district, is one of the world’s most innovative and sustainable business centers brought to life with the help of Dow – ensuring their vision of stunning, unobstructed views could be achieved. DOWSIL™ Structural Glazing Sealants were chosen to ensure the structural integrity of the glass and steel tower to withstand the wind-tunneling effects of Midtown Manhattan. Designed to achieve the highest level of #LEEDcertification and to obtain a WELL certification, One Vanderbilt now joins the iconic #buildings that define the Manhattan #skyline.

Did you know that artificial intelligence (#AI) could help reduce energy consumption from U.S. #buildings by as much as 40% by 2050? According to an article by Building Design+Construction Media, AI could be applied in four key categories to significantly reduce carbon emissions: equipment, occupancy influence, control and operation, and design & construction. As the world undergoes a sustainability transformation and the strategies to reach net zero evolve, Dow will continue to innovate and advance #SustainableBuilding development.
