This low-income senior housing project involved energy efficiency upgrades for the renovation of a 2-story, 30 unit public housing complex in Northern Dauphin County. The existing wood-framed buildings’ exterior surfaces were renovated by removing EIFS wall coverings and sheathing, and roof shingles and sheathing. New insulation was installed, and covered with new sheathing, cement fiber panels and brick masonry. The roof received new sheathing and metal roof panels, topped with solar panels. The renovations also included several new covered entrances.
This project won the U.S. Green Building Association of Central Pennsylvania 2011 Green Building Award for Energy & Atmosphere.
