Not really, when recycling is an option.

270 Park Avenue will be 100 per cent powered by renewable energy sourced from a New York State hydroelectric plant. In addition to operating on net zero carbon emissions, the building will use state-of-the-art building technology and systems to ensure it operates as efficiently as possible, including intelligent building technology that uses sensors, AI and machine learning systems to predict, respond and adapt to energy needs; advanced water storage and reuse systems to reduce water usage by more than 40 per cent; triple pane glazing on the façade and automatic solar shades connected to HVAC systems for greater energy efficiency; and outdoor terraces featuring natural green space and plantings.
The project also recycled, reused or upcycled 97% of the building materials from the demolition – far exceeding the 75% requirement of the leading green building standard.
