International Conference Showcases SyracuseCoE, Places City on Global Clean and Green Tech Map
BELOW, Rick Fedrizzi, President, CEO, and Founding Chairman of SyracuseCoE Charter Member the US Green Building Council, addresses delegates at the opening of HB2009. From Sept. 13 through 17, Syracuse hosted researchers,
academics, and entrepreneurs from 43 different countries at the Ninth
International Healthy Buildings Conference of the International Society for
Indoor Air Quality and Climate (ISIAQ). Throughout the plenaries, technical sessions, and
forums held at the Oncenter Complex in Downtown Syracuse, HB2009 delegates discussed built environments and how to make them healthier,
more productive, and more sustainable places to live, work, and learn.
The conference included an impressive 366 podium presentations, 154 technical posters,
49 technical sessions, and 11 technical forums. In conjunction with the HB2009 Conference,
SyracuseCoE hosted an "Opportunity Exchange" designed to maximize business
opportunities for local companies by strategically connecting global industry
leaders, top researchers, and local and regional businesses through a series of
targeted networking events. Between these two concurrent events, HB2009 attracted more than 1,700 delegates and attendees, including more than 420 international
visitors, 76
volunteers from the local community, and 90 local, national, and international exhibitors. For the Syracuse.com photo gallery of HB2009, click here.

"Groundbreaking" Held for Near Westside's Lincoln Supply Building, Renovation to Feature Green Technologies
BELOW, although called a groundbreaking, Syracuse Near Westside residents, Near Westside Initiative staff, and others tossed salt over their shoulders for good luck, when on Sept. 28 a ceremony was held to commemorate the start of a $3.2 million renovation project of the Lincoln Building, located on the 300 block of Wyoming Street, Syracuse. The Lincoln Building, formerly known as the Lincoln Supply Warehouse, is a 100-year-old, four-story property that will be renovated to create 30,000 square feet of mixed-use commercial and residential space. The renovation will transform the first two floors into commercial space and the top two floors into live/work artist lofts. The building is designed to demonstrate innovations in green technologies for energy and environmental systems, with SyracuseCoE funding the design of green systems for the project. The effort is led by SyracuseCoE Gold Partner C&S Companies, with contributions from SyracuseCoE Charter Member Northeast Natural Homes, Earth Sensitive Solutions, John Todd Ecological Design, Intelligent Converted Energy, Building Energy Solutions, and Steven Winter Associates. The project is one of the first in the country that has been designed using a proposed new rating system that is being developed by the U.S. Green Building Council for mid-rise, multi-family residential buildings. The Lincoln Building is designed to achieve a Gold rating in the new LEED system, one step below the highest rating. For the full story, click here.

Clarkson University Faculty Receives Prestigious National Science Foundation Award
Douglas Bohl, assistant professor of mechanical and aeronautical engineering at SyracuseCoE Platinum Partner Clarkson University, has received a CAREER Award from the National Science Foundation (NSF). Bohl will receive $400,000 over five years from the NSF for his research on the phenomenon of dynamic stall in airfoils. The Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Program is an NSF-wide activity that offers the Foundation's most prestigious awards in support of junior faculty who exemplify the role of teacher-scholars through outstanding research, excellent education, and the integration of education and research within the context of their organizations' missions. Also a recipient of a SyracuseCoE CARTI award, Bohl's research focuses on the dynamic stall of airfoils, which is important in the development of a wide array of technologies ranging from wind turbines to high-performance aircraft.

Alliance Energy Explores Expansion of Hydro-Electric Generation Capacity
SyracuseCoE Platinum Partner, Alliance Energy is planning an expansion to the electric generation capacity of its hydro-electric sites on the Mongaup River in Sullivan County, NY. The Mongaup River sites are currently capable of producing more than 20 MW of renewable energy for use by New York consumers. Using no additional water from the system than has been used historically, Alliance Energy has determined that as much as 20 MW of new capacity can be added to its sites. These expansion projects will represent an additional investment in the local community of as much as $40 million. Additionally, Alliance is examining the possibility of adding up to 160 MW of hydro-electric pumped storage generation capacity to its system. If successful, this $450 million project will provide a significant increase in available renewable energy to the New York City area; and the project will provide for more than 200 construction jobs and create as many as 50 new permanent jobs in the local area.
