Architect: JMR Design
The project consists of affordable housing apartments, each designed to meet sustainable standards while incorporating cost-effective and aesthetically pleasing layouts.
We have specified an all-electric, high-performance mechanical system. Heating and cooling are provided by a high-efficiency heat pump system, capable of delivering 90% of its rated capacity down to -5°F without requiring electric backup heat. Ductwork is coordinated with the architect and enclosed in soffits to preserve the aesthetic quality of the apartments.
The plumbing system includes electric residential-type water heaters, which are cost-effective and 98% efficient. Pipe risers are coordinated with the architect to optimize usable square footage and maintain a clean aesthetic throughout.
The lighting system is designed for each apartment, utilizing LED fixtures that offer optimal aesthetics, light intensity, and a cost-effective solution.
For the parking area, SAI carried out a detailed photometric analysis to ensure even lighting distribution and compliance with all relevant lighting standards.
