Case Study: Red Rock Creek Commons
The Oregon Multifamily Energy Program (OR-MEP) reduced the incremental costs of implementing energy efficiency measures at Red Rock Creek Commons. Through participation in a design charette, the project team identified savings opportunities at the property in the form of high efficiency packaged terminal heat pumps and high-efficiency ventilation fans which will increase the building’s performance. Eight of the property’s units are reserved for those with mental illness and 24 units are reserved for low-income residents who can use housing vouchers. The project maximized its savings potential by collaborating with Energy Trust of Oregon to build solar ready, making solar installation easily viable in the future.
“The biggest win for the property was the exterior insulation. OR-MEP including this into their program is a great feature.”
