eFlow USA supplied nearly 200 Constant Airflow Regulators – eFlow-CARs for 499 President Street—a 10-story, 350-unit mixed-use residential development in Brooklyn’s Gowanus neighborhood. The project team includes SLCE Architects (Project Architect), Urban Atelier Group (General Contractor), and Epic Mechanical (Installer of eFlow products). Of the 350 apartments, 88 units are designated as affordable housing, all rent stabilized and income restricted.
Advancing Affordable Housing with Reliable Ventilation
As a completed mixed-use development in Brooklyn, 499 President Street demonstrates how thoughtful design and quality building systems can support both market-rate and affordable housing within a single development. With eFlow-CARs installed throughout all 350 units, the building benefits from consistent, pressure-independent exhaust ventilation that maintains indoor air quality while optimizing HVAC efficiency—critical factors for both resident comfort and long-term operational costs in affordable housing.

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.
