Our client is a residential multifamily building in the heart of Greenwich Village in Manhattan. Efficiti got engaged to provide a new heating/cooling system as well as new central water heating plant for the building.

Some of the challenges the building currently faces:

• Building uses electric baseboards that do not provide sufficient heating in the winter

• The electric baseboards are an inefficient way of heating leading to high electricity costs for the owners and their tenants.

• Building also has an energy score of "D" which is the lowest letter grade.

The Solution:

• Efficiti has designed:

  • a new VRF heat recovery system to provide efficient heating and cooling for the entire building.

  • an efficient central heat pump water heating system with brand new hot water distribution piping.

• We are also taking advantage of utility and state incentive programs for the client to cover some of the project costs.
