HUD MultiFamily Green Retrofit Updates

This October we finally began work on our Multi-Family green retrofit project. If you haven't read previous articles on it, this is a project we have spent nearly a year putting together and getting the go ahead from HUD.

The project is on a 78 unit senior apartment complex constructed in the late 1970's. The scope of work includes:

• Replacing all HVAC systems with high efficiency equipment
• Replacing common area and exterior lighting with EnergyStar fixtures
• Replacing the old metal windows with high efficiency vinyl products
• Replacing apartment ceiling and exhaust fans with Energy Star fixtures
• Gutting and retrofitting the apartment kitchens and bathrooms with green cabinets, countertops and flooring
• New Energy Star appliances
• New water efficient plumbing fixtures
• Soil moisture sensing irrigation controllers
• Increased insulation levels

This is a fully occupied facility so as you can imagine we need to take great care with the elderly residents, their needs and their homes.
