What We Did and How
The Batik and Cypress Apartments are part of the ambitious 30-acre Yesler Terrace redevelopment plan to replace an aging close-in affordable housing development. For both buildings, Ecotope designed HVAC and plumbing systems and provided LEED energy modeling and commissioning services. Key efficiency measures included:
-
- Ductless heat pumps for space heating
- Heat recovery ventilators
- Central heat pump water heating system
- Low-flow end use fixtures
The Results
