Join Skylight for an exclusive clean energy building tour at Two Charlton Owners Corp., a co-op that has transformed its operations to meet NYC’s ambitious climate goals.
When Skylight first met cooperator Chris McGinnis and his neighbors, we were struck not only by their success in cutting energy use, but also by their enthusiasm and deep knowledge of building systems. Now, you’ll get to meet them too.

About the building:
Two Charlton Owners Corp. is a 16-story, 176-unit co-op in SoHo. Over the past decade, the building has created a roadmap for compliance by tackling upgrades step by step, starting off small with LED bulbs, submetering, and radiator covers, then moving on to bigger fixes like tuning the boiler to run more efficiently, upgrading the electrical room, and installing charging stations for electric vehicles in the co-op’s garage — all of which have helped the building comply with Local Law 97. Now, they’ve put the finishing touches on their suite of upgrades by installing solar panels on the roof, which will help offset their energy bills going forward. Each step has lowered costs and emissions, and offers lessons other co-ops or condos can apply.
Attendance is capped at 15 homeowners — RSVP now to secure your place.
