What We Did and How

The Batik and Cypress Apartments are part of the ambitious 30-acre Yesler Terrace redevelopment plan to replace an aging close-in affordable housing development.  For both buildings, Ecotope designed HVAC and plumbing systems and provided LEED energy modeling and commissioning services. Key efficiency measures included:

    • Ductless heat pumps for space heating
    • Heat recovery ventilators
    • Central heat pump water heating system
    • Low-flow end use fixtures

The Results

Batik and Cypress Apartments achieved LEED Platinum Certification
