eFlow-Constant Airflow Regulators Installed at Simba Simbi: Enhancing Energy Efficiency and Indoor Air Quality

Simba Simbi, a remarkable new construction project located at 381 Chester Street in Brownsville, Brooklyn, is set to revolutionize the concept of affordable senior housing. With its eight floors and 157 apartments, this 93,000 square foot building aims to provide a comfortable and sustainable living space for senior low-income residents. Scheduled for completion in December 2023, Simba Simbi is a testament to the commitment of Dunn Development Corp. to create affordable, energy-efficient housing options in the heart of Brooklyn.

In order to achieve their goal of energy efficiency and high indoor air quality, Simba Simbi has incorporated eFlow-Constant Airflow Regulators (CARs) into its ventilation system. The installation of these innovative products will result in automatic airflow balancing, significant energy savings, and improved indoor air quality for the residents.

The eFlow-Constant Airflow Regulators are designed to ensure a consistent and optimal airflow throughout the building. By automatically adjusting the airflow based on pressure differentials, these regulators maintain a balanced distribution of air to all areas of the building, regardless of changes in external conditions. This not only enhances the comfort of the residents but also contributes to substantial energy savings by reducing the load on the HVAC system.

One of the key benefits of eFlow’s CARs is their ability to improve indoor air quality. By providing a constant supply of fresh air, the regulators help remove pollutants, allergens, and odors from the living spaces. This results in a healthier and more pleasant environment for the residents, promoting their overall well-being.

The involvement of renowned professionals in the project speaks volumes about the dedication to quality and excellence. SLCE Architects and Curtis + Ginsberg Architects, leading architectural firms, have designed Simba Simbi with a focus on aesthetics, functionality, and sustainability. Dunn Development Corp., the developer behind Simba Simbi, has established a strong partnership with Alpine Enterprises NY, LTD, the installer of eFlow products. Their collaboration has been essential in implementing the eFlow-Constant Airflow Regulators to their fullest potential, ensuring optimal performance and efficiency. SRS Enterprises Inc, the trusted representative of eFlow products, has supplied 4″ and 5″ CARs for the Simba Simbi project.

With its expected completion date in December 2023, Simba Simbi is set to become a shining example of sustainable, affordable housing in Brooklyn. The integration of eFlow-Constant Airflow Regulators into the building’s ventilation system will not only ensure a comfortable living environment for the residents but also contribute to energy savings and improved indoor air quality. Thanks to the collaboration between Dunn Development Corp., Alpine Enterprises NY, LTD, and SRS Enterprises Inc, Simba Simbi represents a remarkable milestone in the pursuit of energy-efficient and environmentally conscious housing solutions.
