42 Broad Street West, Mt Vernon, NY: A Showcase of Sustainable Luxury Living
Project Overview
42 Broad Street West in Mt Vernon, NY is designed to meet Passive House standards, which is why eFlow Constant Airflow Regulators have been installed. eFlow-CARs have previously played a key role in achieving full Passive House certification.
42 Broad Street West is a 16-story, luxury apartment building featuring 249 units. Completed in 2023, making it one of the largest multifamily rental properties built to such high energy-efficiency standards. eFlow USA partnered with SRS Enterprises, Inc. to supply 4” CARs at 20 and 25 CFM, ensuring optimal ventilation and energy savings throughout the building’s kitchen and bathroom exhaust systems.

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.
