Transforming the Williamsburg waterfront, the massive luxury development at 470 Kent in Brooklyn, NY, brings 249 premium residences to the skyline through a masterful collaboration between developer Naftali Group, Brandon Haw Architecture, Hill West Architects, engineering firm MG Engineering, and general contractor New Line Structures & Development LLC. To ensure impeccable indoor air quality for this monumental 22-story multi-tower project, installer Epic Mechanical integrated hundreds of Custom eFlow-CAR Mounting Plate Assemblies, specifically utilizing 3″ CARs in 4″x4″ plates set to 25 CFM and 4″ CARs in 4″x4″ plates at 30 and 40 CFM, to precisely balance exhaust ventilation.
Engineering Modern Comfort in Brooklyn, NY
For a massive luxury waterfront development, maintaining balanced ventilation and superior indoor air quality is a standard expectation. To meet the rigorous demands of 470 Kent, eFlow USA provided hundreds of Custom eFlow-CAR Mounting Plate Assemblies (3″ and 4″ CARs). These passive regulators guarantee continuous, precisely balanced airflow, protecting the 249 units from over-ventilation and mechanical noise without requiring power or complex sensors.

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.
