About us
Eco Brooklyn is a New York City green building and renovation contractor specialising in the sustainable retrofit of Brooklyn's historic brownstone housing stock, alongside living-wall and moss-wall installation work. The company has renovated numerous brownstones and describes deep first-hand experience with the core challenge of that building type: air-sealing and insulating a century-old masonry rowhouse to modern energy standards while preserving its traditional architectural character. Eco Brooklyn has been part of the wave of New York City contractors bringing German-engineered Passive House standards to brownstone renovation — an approach that, properly executed, can cut a home's energy consumption by as much as 90% through strategic insulation, elimination of thermal bridging, rigorous air-tightness detailing, high-performance windows, and heat-recovery ventilation in place of conventional heating and cooling. The firm's blog documents its own project work and broader NYC green-building developments in real time, including coverage of early landmark projects like 23 Park Place in Park Slope — the first certified Passive House retrofit in New York City — and continues to publish regularly (including 2025-2026 posts on urban landscaping, soil remediation, and climate-resilient outdoor design), reflecting an active, ongoing practice rather than a dormant web presence. In addition to building-envelope retrofit work, Eco Brooklyn is known for its living wall and moss-wall installations (indoor and outdoor) for residential and commercial clients, and maintains an active Instagram and YouTube presence showcasing completed projects. The company is based in Brooklyn, New York, and can be reached through the contact form at ecobrooklyn.com/contact.
