THE JAVITS CENTER
Located on Manhattan’s far west side within the recently rezoned
Hudson Yards district, the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center was once
considered a cutting-edge design that had stretched a number of
technologies to the limit, including a massive space-frame structure with
a vast system of curtain-wall and skylights.
Since its opening in 1986, the 1.37 million-square-foot Javits Center has
made key contributions to the City and State economies, stimulating
direct and indirect employment, economic activity and tax revenues,
and strongly supporting the City’s hotel, restaurant, tourism, and
entertainment industries.
Designed in 1979 by I.M. Pei and Partners, the iconic building’s original
design manifests many of the problems characteristic of Modernist
mega-structures, particularly with respect to sustainability-related
issues such as energy efficiency, indoor environmental quality,
pedestrian-friendly urban planning, and landscaping.

Design Development Strategies
Retrofitting and greening existing public mega-structures such as this
must be approached with a strategic and rigorous methodology that
addresses the multiple complexities inherent in this building type.
The scale of such projects implies that any gesture undertaken has an
equally substantial environmental and quality-of-life impact.
Existing:
The project required a highly-integrated process between local and
state government, operations personnel, construction management,
and a multitude of consultants and specialists. A separate office was
established so major consultant personnel
worked
side-by-side

REGIONAL RESILIENCE + COMMUNITY DESIGN
THE JAVITS CENTER IS A HUB FOR SOCIAL AND CULTURAL
ACTIVITIES OF ALL STRIPES
The Javits Center opened in 1986. Intended to catalyze the development
of Midtown Manhattan’s West Side, the Center remained isolated from
the core of the city due to the delay of the 7 Line subway extension and
rezoning of the neighborhood. Built during a highly inflationary time, it
was value engineered to the point of shoddiness, a major portion was
not built, and it has not been properly maintained. It has been seriously
maligned as an eye-sore.
The architects were originally charged with expanding it to meet
industry standards while basically obliterating the existing building.
This proved to be unaffordable and unsustainable, prompting the
design team to re-evaluate the approach and set out to rejuvenate
and revitalize the Center, making it more environmentally responsible
without impacting the basic infrastructure – the “bones.” The result has
been an amazing transformation.
In late 2012, Hurricane Sandy deposited up to a foot of contaminated
water across 800,000-square-feet of the first level of the facility. In
order to mitigate future flood damage, flood gates were installed at all
exits below 11 feet in elevation.
Where the Center was once facing total demolition, it is now pursuing
LEED Silver certification.

performance and
durability of roof
The existing roof of the Javits Center had been leaking since it was built.
The architect’s goals for the new roof included minimum maintenance
and maximum longevity, an appealing aesthetic for everyone looking
down from new surrounding high-rises, improved energy performance,
reduction of the heat-island effect, reduced stormwater runoff, and
creation of an environmentally friendly place. After thorough analysis of
the structure and the economics of various options, an extensive green
roof was selected and installed over 6.75 acres of the roof.
High Performance
Curtainwall and glass
The original building was dubbed by NYC Audubon as the worst birdkiller in the City - mainly due to the high reflectivity of the glass facade.
The architects replaced the curtain wall with a combination of solid
stainless steel panels and glass that both reduced the reflectivity from
35% to 8% and included a ceramic frit pattern that served to reduce
solar gain while creating a visual obstruction for the birds. The result has
been a remarkable reduction of 90% of the bird-kills.
Highly insulated

Revitalization of
interior spaces
Improved urban spaces
The green roof has become a major sanctuary for wildlife. Another
study led by NYC Audubon and Fordham University has determined that
thousands of species of arthropods are living in the vegetation – making
it an oasis for the 11 species of birds counted to date.

SMART IMPROVEMENTS MEAN THE JAVITS CURTAIN WALL
MEETS MULTIPLE GOALS AT MINIMAL COST TO THE CLIENT
Design Development diagram: Improving thermal performance of skylights
25% LL86
(ASHRAE 90.1-1999)
As a renovation of an existing facility there were no material changes
to the form or orientation of the building. However, modifications did
include a reduction of approximately a third of glass area and the
replacement of all entryways with fewer and more concentrated portals
that incorporate vestibules and automatic doors to greatly reduce the
infiltration of untempered air during setups and normal operation.
16.3%
15%
The Javits Center’s all-new high performance curtain wall, coupled with
a highly efficient mechanical system and a green roof, will contribute
to an estimated total energy savings of 26% over the existing building’s
performance, which was functioning 10% under code at the start of
construction. The replacement of the curtain wall had a number of
objectives: increased visibility of the public spaces, brighter ambiance
on the interior with minimum glare, higher energy performance, a more
friendly appearance, and reduced bird-kill. All objectives were achieved
with a Viracon VNE1-63 glass combined with a fritted dot pattern and
the use of a solar gray glass interlayer in the skylight areas.

COMFORT + DELIGHT
WITH ITS UNIQUE CURTAIN WALL AND SKYLIGHTS, THE
JAVITS CENTER ACHIEVES 32% DAYLIGHT AUTONOMY
The Crystal Palace, Galleria, Concourse and River Pavilion were
originally conceived to be extensions of the outdoors. Unfortunately,
daylight and views from the galleria had been obstructed. The design
team opened up the walls in the galleria, adding additional glazing,
and carefully selecting the glass to eliminate glare and ensure colors
that were more comfortable than the original tinted glass. Extensive
daylight modeling was done to help with these selections.
Daylight values within the glazed Crystal Palace, Galleria, Concourse
and River Pavilion fall in excess of 500 fc, but given the nature of
the spaces, activities that take place within them, and their uniform
contrast ratios, it was determined that no glare condition existed with
the exception of the south side of the Galleria, on which visual comfort
shading was installed. Daylight dimming was installed in the Crystal
Palace, Galleria and River pavilion.

The expo halls were designed as “black box” spaces totally dependent
on artificial light. Adding skylights to the main expo space located
directly under the roof was extensively studied. Largely due to the cost
of blackout systems and the need to mitigate the thermal impacts, this
measure was deemed to have a fairly low life-cycle benefit.
Interior comfort and air quality warranted extensive study. All
mechanical equipment has now been upgraded with more efficient
units and controls, including CO2 sensors.

Occupation of Javits Center is variable: There are 700 Full Time
Employees on an average day, and visitors are estimated at three
million annually. The plumbing fixtures at the Javits Center serve several
different user groups and vary from one part of the building to another.
The toilet rooms are fit out with various fixtures, some of which had
been updated in the recent past. The design team replaced all faucets in
renovated restrooms, and many of the toilets and urinals.

With the installation of both new and upgraded fixtures, Javits
achieves a 32% reduction in Regulated Potable Water annually, per
LEED 2.2. That amounts to 2.9 million gallons of water saved annually.
These savings equate to drinking water for up to 1000 people for the
duration of one year.

The Javits green roof has an embedded irrigation system designed
to be active for up to two years until the sedum is established.
Subsequent to that time, irrigation will be necessary only if the green
roof becomes stressed. The roof achieves a 72% reduction of Potable
Water Irrigation Consumption.

ENERGY FLOW
STRATEGIC UPGRADES ARE MAKING THE JAVITS CENTER
EFFICIENT AND COST-EFFECTIVE
The design team implemented energy efficiency measures that
resulted in a 9.1% EUI Reduction from a typical convention center
in the same climate zone. This equates to a 16% reduction in annual
consumption and an 11.3% reduction in annual energy cost.

2
Efficient variable air volume AHU’s with a cooling EER of 12.2 are
predicted to result in 5.6% energy savings. Demand control ventilation
via CO2 sensors in exhibition and lobby areas accounts for 2.4% savings.
Air-side economizers with enthalpy control result in 4.5% savings.
3
Vertical glazing covers 45% of gross wall area with a U-value of
.38 (from an estimated .67 for vision vertical glazing in the existing
building), while skylights cover 13% of gross roof area with a U-value of
.5. The improved glass ratings result in 2.8% energy savings.
Improvements were made to the roof assembly which resulted in a
U-value of 0.042, with the addition in some areas of a green roof with
an assembly U-value of 0.038. Attempts were also made to integrate
PVs within the system, but that was abandoned due to the structural
capacity of the roof and a very long payback.
Results from the first M&V report indicate that the building is
performing at an estimated 14% below the LEED model prediction, or
27.5% below the baseline. The drop in normalized energy usage from
pre-construction (2010) to post-construction (2014) is 11%.

MATERIALS + CONSTRUCTION
THE TEAM WORKED TO REVIVE AND REUSE AS MUCH OF THE
EXISTING BUILDING AS POSSBLE
Curtain Wall Studies
The Javits renovation was designed with the specific goal of not only
saving the Center from total demolition, but of conserving and reusing as much of the existing (and distinctive) structure as possible.
The designers and consultants performed extensive structural analysis
to that end. In addition, 77% of construction waste was diverted from
landfill. 9,856 tons of construction waste were generated, with 7,567
tons diverted.
Extensive analysis was done to determine the best course of action for
replacing or refurbishing the existing Javits curtain wall. While it was
determined that the framing was monolithic and without a thermal
break, it turned out that the issue was not as critical as anticipated due
to the vast amount of glass in the building and the comparatively low
percentage of aluminum framing. The glass, however, was in far worse
condition, fraught with broken seals and torn pressure gaskets that
had caused de-lamination of coatings and needed total replacement.
Due to the economic climate at the time, it was considered prudent
for the design team to prepare two options and bid the work as both
totally new and refurbished. In the end, the uncertainty associated with
refurbished system won out and a new curtain wall was installed.

LONG LIFE LOOSE FIT
FLEXIBILITY AND VERSATILITY ARE CENTRAL TO THE DESIGN
AND OPERATION OF THE JAVITS CENTER
The Javits center was built to be flexible. It exhibits over 35,000
companies per year, with events ranging from a pizza oven trade show
to a black tie gala. The renovation project included the refurbishment
of the movable partition systems within the expo space, allowing for
multiple events to occur simultaneously.
One of the greatest challenges of the Javits renovation was the fact that
the Center was to remain in operation throughout the entirety of the
construction process. To that end, the Butler Building, or Javits North,
was pre-engineered for light construction and built as a temporary
swing space to catch any program displaced by the construction. This
space proved so successful that it is still in use today.
Further plans for expansion include improving the truck marshalling
and docking facilities so as to reduce idling time by trucks waiting to
unload equipment and materials. This facility will also improve the
neighborhood by giving trucks and trailers a location to dock on-site, as
opposed to their current habit of parking overnight on city streets.

In order to facilitate the continuing development of green roof research
and potentially inform future legislation, the design team proposed and
eventually convinced the client to install climate monitors, water run-off

at several locations on the roof and street. These devices were installed
and are being monitored by a team of Drexel University and Cooper
Union scientists and students who prepare and release regular reports
