Stop by the NYDesigns booth at  the International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF) from May 15th-18th to learn more about the Embedded Energy Calculator. We're at Booth 801 with IDSA.

NYDesigns, with generous funding from the New York State Energy Research Development Authority (NYSERDA) and design development by NYDesigns resident More Than Us, has created an Embedded Energy Calculator to assist designers in making sustainable, impactful decisions in their creative process. We're beta-testing this summer and we want your input.

 The Calculator is an online application that's easy to use and easier to appreciate. Come see our demonstration projects on the ipad platform and visit the projects section on the website to learn more.

We will be featuring new work by NYDesigns residents Manuel Saez and Luigi Laguna as well as products from Island Architectural Woodwork and Greendepot.
