The Willow, 750 E 134th Street, Bronx NY

Elevating Affordable Living with Advanced Ventilation Solutions-eFlow-Constant Airflow Regulators

Located at 750 E 134th Street in the Bronx, The Willow is an eight-story residential building comprising 133 affordable housing units, designed to meet the needs of low- and moderate-income residents. Completed in 2023 as a new construction project under the Extremely Low and Low-Income Affordability (ELLA) program, The Willow features cutting-edge ventilation technology by eFlow USA. RL Mechanical Services installed 4″ Constant Airflow Regulators (CARs) integrated into 6″x6″ Mounting Plate Assemblies, supplied directly to the installer by eFlow USA, ensuring a seamless process. The project was designed by Newman Design Architects and co-developed by JCAL Development and Altmark Group.

The Willow’s construction highlights a commitment to sustainability, community well-being, and modern design. Built to stringent standards outlined by the New York City Development Corporation and the Department of Housing Preservation and Development, The Willow is an example of how affordable housing can seamlessly integrate energy efficiency, resident comfort, and advanced technology.

Technical Integration: eFlow USA’s Impact

eFlow USA’s Constant Airflow Regulators (CARs) provide a sophisticated solution for maintaining optimal indoor air quality and energy efficiency at The Willow. By automatically regulating airflow and adapting to pressure variations, the 4” CARs in Mounting Plate Assemblies ensure:

Precision Ventilation: Automatically maintains consistent air distribution across all units.
Energy Efficiency: Reduces strain on HVAC systems, aligning with ELLA’s sustainability goals.
Enhanced Comfort: Balances airflow to deliver healthier, more comfortable indoor spaces for residents.

The direct sale of these products to RL Mechanical Services allowed for efficient installation, ensuring the project met its high-performance goals.

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.
