Situated within SL Green’s iconic One Vanderbilt tower, this state-of-the-art office space has been transformed into a beacon of innovation, incorporating wtec’s smartengine technology to revolutionize energy efficiency, lighting solutions, indoor air quality, and seamless integration with the building’s Schneider EcoStruxure Building Management System (BMS).


The deployment of wtec’s smartengine technology marks a significant milestone in the pursuit of sustainable, intelligent, and technologically advanced workspaces. With a focus on creating an environment that aligns with the highest standards of efficiency, productivity, and environmental consciousness, wtec and Cresa have seamlessly integrated cutting-edge solutions into this iconic space.


Key Features of the smartengine technology at One Vanderbilt:


Energy Efficient Lighting:

The smartengine technology optimizes energy consumption for lighting, with an average consumption of 0.2 watt per square foot, while maintaining a comfortable and well-lit workspace. This not only contributes to sustainability goals but also provides a visually appealing and productive atmosphere for employees.


Indoor Air Quality:

Recognizing the importance of a healthy and comfortable working environment, wtec’s smartengine technology incorporates advanced air quality monitoring into wall controllers. The data collected is provided in real-time to the BMS via BACnet/IP. The result is an office space with improved indoor air quality, promoting the well-being and productivity of the occupants.


Integration with BMS:

The seamless BACnet/IP integration of wtec’s smartsensor data with Schneider’s EcoStruxure Building Management System ensures a holistic and intelligent approach to the overall management of the space. This integration enables real-time monitoring, control, and optimization of various building systems, enhancing operational efficiency and sustainability.


Commenting on the successful implementation, Timothy Miscovich, Chief Commercial Officer at wtec, expressed, "We are thrilled to have partnered with Cresa to deliver our smartengine technology at One Vanderbilt. This project exemplifies our commitment to creating smart, sustainable, and technologically advanced workspaces that prioritize the well-being of occupants while maximizing energy efficiency."

The integration of smartengine technology has significantly elevated the overall workplace experience, aligning perfectly with our commitment to delivering exceptional real estate solutions."


The transformation of the 20,000 square foot office at One Vanderbilt serves as a testament to the shared vision of wtec and Cresa in creating forward-thinking workplaces that leverage technology for the benefit of both occupants and the environment.
