Where?

 Condominium project at 951 Pacific Street between Grand and Washington Avenues. The R-951 Residence consists of three duplex loft apartments, each approximately 1500 square feet complete with its own balcony and/or garden, laundry and separate cellar storage space.

This project will be certified to Passive House Standards and is a Net Zero Capable Building with only a 4.7% increase in development costs. What sets this project apart is its ultra-energy-efficient design, achieved through “passive house” construction and solar panels, estimated for virtually net zero energy use for heating, cooling and operating the building.

The R-951’s buildings design includes high R-value insulation, triple glazed windows. R-951 is a virtually air-tight building, it is primarily heated by passive solar gain and by internal gains from people and electrical equipment. Any additional heat needed will be provided by an extremely small, efficient heat pump in each apartment. In warmer months, shading and window orientation similarly minimizes the cooling load.
