Project Financing HOUSING DEVELOPMENT CENTER Building and Sustaining Affordable Housing

Process • Early assembly of development team • Charrettes • Focus on energy and water conservation • Extensive energy modeling HOUSING DEVELOPMENT CENTER Building and Sustaining Affordable Housing

Site Location HOUSING DEVELOPMENT CENTER Building and Sustaining Affordable Housing

Site Strategies • Constructed bike turning lane • Secure bicycle parking for up to 120 bicycles • Pedestrian improvements on all 3 street frontages will benefit both residents and Rose Garden Arena event-goers. • Stormwater swales for pretreatment of right of way stormwater HOUSING DEVELOPMENT CENTER Building and Sustaining Affordable Housing

Energy Conservation – Envelope • Large west exposure of windows. Concern about solar heat gain and cost of cooling. • Explored exterior shading but were cost prohibitive • Installed new window glazing with solar heat gain reducing film • White TPO roofing to reduce cooling load and urban heat island effect • Insulation to code only on roofing. Higher than code insulation would have increased cooling load more than savings on heating load. HOUSING DEVELOPMENT CENTER Building and Sustaining Affordable Housing

Energy Conservation – HVAC • Heat pumps (PTHPs) with remote thermostats, occupancy sensors, and central controller for residential heating & cooling • High efficiency cooling for commercial space • High efficiency central water heaters for domestic hot water • Modeled ductless split system but payback too long HOUSING DEVELOPMENT CENTER Building and Sustaining Affordable Housing

Energy Conservation – Lighting & Appliances • Energy Star appliances • Energy Star lighting • Energy Star rated equipment for commercial kitchen and laundry • Occupancy sensors for commercial lighting HOUSING DEVELOPMENT CENTER Building and Sustaining Affordable Housing

Energy - Renewables • 80 kW solar thermal system • Existing solar hot water heating system at building formerly used to heat pool • System is 3rd largest in the state and will provide 28% of the total hot water for the building. • The equivalent of producing 2,500 gallons of hot water per day or enough to take over 150 showers HOUSING DEVELOPMENT CENTER Building and Sustaining Affordable Housing

Water conservation • 1.5 GPM faucets • 2.0 GPM showerheads • Front loading laundry • Efficient irrigation and low water landscaping HOUSING DEVELOPMENT CENTER Building and Sustaining Affordable Housing

Materials • Construction waste management 90% construction waste recycling Some waste source-separated. Balance is commingled and separated by hauler • Local & regional materials to reduce transportation impact • Interior durability – No carpet • Detailing to prevent bed bugs. Custom steel frame beds HOUSING DEVELOPMENT CENTER Building and Sustaining Affordable Housing

Indoor Environmental Quality • Low VOC paints & finishes • Continuous bath ventilation for residential units • Ultraviolet air purifier for Hooper dorms • Could not add vented range hoods because of cost, code issues with new shafts or soffits. HOUSING DEVELOPMENT CENTER Building and Sustaining Affordable Housing

Lessons Learned • Select team members who share goals and are willing to put in extra time necessary to achieve them • Adaptive reuse/preservation saves significant financial and environmental resources over new construction • Existing building conditions can limit options regarding solar design, ventilation, HVAC systems • Energy modeling can provide surprising information – Reduced amount of insulation due to heat retention •It helps to start with a really ugly building because anything is a major improvement HOUSING DEVELOPMENT CENTER Building and Sustaining Affordable Housing
