In the South Bronx, a residential building called Fox Point is being built that are designed like boiler rooms. "The boiler room houses a microturbine system, which generates energy for electricity and heat. It reuses heat that would otherwise be lost to the atmosphere, reducing carbon emissions while also cutting costs." The boiler rooms are being designed to meet criteria aligned with LEED. Micheal Bloomberg plans to create many of these boiler rooms to save money, and to house former homeless people and low income families. Boston and Chicago are also constructing these buildings as well.
