Robert Ettinger founded Engineering Associates in 1960. It began, forty-five years ago when Robert Ettinger formulated breakthrough engineering designs in modular hot water heating systems that received accolades throughout the engineering community. Today the spirit continues in this son and father team. Developers and architects regard them as highly creative and flexible team of consulting engineers that consistently create effective designs. Their innovative contributions to building design in NYC, the metro and tri-state area are notable.
(PRWEB) June 3, 2005 -- Eric Ettinger and the Ettinger Engineering Associates
team is in the process of designing a project at Thomson Avenue & Court
Square (45-31 Court Square), which is being developed by The Andalex Group. This
residential conversion project is situated in the heart of Long Island City the
dynamic neighborhood just minutes from Manhattan that is home to a spectacular
arts community. The unique triangular shaped structure will be transformed into
luxury condominium residences with outstanding views of Manhattan. Ettinger
Engineering Associates is excited to be a part of the progress in Long Island
City and honored to perform the (MEP) engineering design for this project. We
look forward to being an integral part of the ongoing development in this area.
Ettinger Engineering has chosen to use vertical water source heat pumps to
provide heating and cooling to all of the apartments. The obvious benefit is the
ability for each tenant to control their individual heat and air conditioning
temperature in their own apartment. Other benefits include the system’s energy
efficiency long-term will accrue cost savings. For the developer, a substantial
cost savings will come from Ettinger Engineering Associates ability to adapt the
existing steam boilers to feed the closed loop heat pump system.
Thomson
and Court Square will also have many special features including a distinctive
pool and gym. Advanced technology will be utilized in these areas to keep the
tenants and their guests comfortable. Ettinger Engineering chose a “Desert
System” unit for the pool area dehumidification requirements. This system
dehumidifies the air coming from the pool, maximizing comfort levels for all.
This is truly an exceptional building in a part of our metro-area promising to
be the next “hot spot” to live.
The architectural firm working on this
project is Costas Kondylis & Partners.
