22-61 45th Street and 22-60 46th Street Queens NY
As part of a new construction project, eFlow-Constant Airflow Regulators are being installed at two adjacent buildings located at 22-61 45th Street and 22-60 46th Street, Brooklyn, NY. These upgrades focus on enhancing both energy efficiency and indoor air quality. Each building, with eight floors and 136 affordable housing units, is part of a broader effort led by Mega Realty Holding and the Pancyprian Association to improve living standards for residents in Queens.
Project Overview
These two new eight-story buildings, which share a podium, will serve low- and moderate-income residents in Queens. Scheduled for completion in 2024, the project emphasizes modern and sustainable design in its HVAC and ventilation systems. The goal is to set a benchmark for energy-efficient housing that provides residents with improved air quality, enhanced comfort, and reduced utility costs.
eFlow’s Role in the Project
eFlow USA is supplying a range of eFlow Constant Airflow Regulators (CARs), installed by Good-Will Mechanical Corp throughout the buildings. The project includes the use of 4-inch, 6-inch, and 8-inch eFlow-CARs, along with eFlow-MAX High Capacity CARs. These systems ensure consistent and balanced airflow, regardless of pressure variations within the buildings, allowing for optimal air distribution and energy conservation without sacrificing resident comfort.
Technical Insights
The installation of eFlow-CARs in various sizes—4″, 6″, and 8″—as well as the eFlow-MAX in both buildings, plays a critical role in ensuring the retrofit meets high standards of energy efficiency and air quality control. These CAR systems automatically adjust to fluctuations in pressure, allowing the building’s HVAC systems to operate more efficiently by maintaining consistent air circulation.
Key Stakeholders
- Developer: Mega Realty Holding and the Pancyprian Association
- Installer: Good-Will Mechanical Corp
- eFlow Products: 4”, 6”, 8” CARs and eFlow-MAX
Benefits of Installing eFlow CARs
- Energy Efficiency: The eFlow CARs reduce unnecessary energy consumption, contributing to lower utility costs for residents.
- Improved Indoor Air Quality: Consistent airflow prevents pollutants from accumulating in individual apartments, fostering a healthier living environment.
- Enhanced Comfort: Proper air distribution ensures that residents enjoy a balanced and comfortable climate within their homes, no matter the season.
Conclusion
The development of the two eight-story buildings at 22-61 45th Street and 22-60 46th Street highlights a growing commitment to energy-efficient construction in the affordable housing sector. By incorporating eFlow’s advanced airflow regulation technology, this project creates modern living spaces that emphasize energy savings, sustainability, and resident well-being.
This development serves as a model for future projects in New York City, proving that affordable housing can successfully integrate cutting-edge green technology to foster healthier, more sustainable urban communities.

eFlow-CAR FACTS
eFlow-CAR is a simple solution to balancing ventilation systems. Constant Airflow Regulator is a device that automatically regulates airflows in ventilation systems to constant levels. The passive control element responds to duct pressure, and requires no electric sensors, pneumatic sensors or controls. eFlow-CARs promote high indoor air quality and energy savings.
