Replace Windows (A&B Block No. 5)
NYS Office of General Services (NYSOGS) and The Department of Correctional Services (DCS) indicated a need to replace existing steel windows and separate single panes of glass with energy-efficient windows and glazing system. An evaluation and analysis of existing conditions were conducted for the windows. Energy modeling was performed on the building to assist in the selection of the frame and glazing while staying sensitive to security concerns.
