The Sunset Ridge Senior Apartments, located at 6309 4th Avenue in Brooklyn, NY, represents a significant development in affordable senior housing. Completed in 2023, this nine-story building with 84 units provides a modern and comfortable living environment for seniors by installing eFlow-Constant Airflow Regulators.
Project Background
Designed by Magnusson Architecture and Planners, the Sunset Ridge Senior Apartments are part of New York City’s ongoing efforts to provide affordable housing options for its senior residents. The project underscores the importance of creating sustainable and accessible living spaces for an aging population.
Project Details
The Sunset Ridge Senior Apartments feature nine floors and 84 apartments, all designated as affordable housing. The project was completed in 2023, providing much-needed affordable living options for seniors in Brooklyn. The building’s design emphasizes comfort, accessibility, and energy efficiency, making it an ideal residence for seniors.
Stakeholders and Roles
The project was a collaborative effort involving multiple key players. The building was designed by Magnusson Architecture and Planners, while Bruno Frustaci Contracting served as the general contractor. Admiral Air Conditioning was responsible for installing the eFlow products, which eFlow supplied directly to them.
Technical Insights
A crucial aspect of the project was the installation of 4” Constant Airflow Regulators (CARs) supplied by eFlow USA. These CARs play a vital role in maintaining air quality and energy efficiency within the apartments. The regulators ensure a consistent airflow, enhancing indoor air quality and contributing to the building’s overall energy efficiency.
Benefits of Installing Constant Airflow Regulators
The installation of eFlow’s Constant Airflow Regulators brings numerous benefits:
- Improved Indoor Air Quality: Ensures a steady supply of fresh air, reducing the risk of indoor air pollutants.
- Energy Efficiency: Maintains optimal airflow, reducing the need for excessive heating or cooling.
- Fire Safety: Enhances fire safety by ensuring proper ventilation.
Conclusion
The Sunset Ridge Senior Apartments project highlights the importance of providing affordable, high-quality housing for seniors. Through the use of innovative solutions like eFlow-Constant Airflow Regulators, the project sets a standard for future affordable housing developments.
