This green thing is starting to catch on. The Energy Star program was started by the New York State to encourage and certify green building. On this three-unit ground-up project on 21st Street in the South Slope, Giancola Contracting (which has been working in Brooklyn for 80 years) teamed up with the Fort Greene-based architecture firm Coggan Crawford Schaut to create the first Energy Star-approved condos in the borough. The tangible benefits include 30% savings on utility bills as well as improved air quality and sound-proofing. Materials used included polished structural concrete flooring, Bamtex bamboo and recycled-tire roof decking. Unit One is spoken for but Units Two and Three are asking $849,000 and $989,000, respectively.
