SUSTAINABILITY
North American Enterprise is especially proud to pursue its first LEED Gold Certification for all our multi-family complexes. These multi-family units will includes rooftop solar panels and a clean microturbine cogeneration unit that offsets a portion of the property’s electricity usage. The cogeneration unit also satisfies domestic hot water requirements and acts as a backup emergency generator. Other sustainable and energy efficient building elements include bamboo flooring, Energy Star rated appliances and water saving fixtures. The building has designated areas for recycling and an interior bicycle room for the tenants and local employees.
North American Enterprises will also pursue the PHIUS Certification. The PHIUS (Passive House Institute US) Certification is the Passive House standards and will increase energy efficiency, achieve significant costs savings on utilities and improve the building’s air quality. Specifically, the building has an extremely airtight building envelope, continuous insulation, high performance windows and an energy recovery ventilation system (ERVs). Our buildings will eliminate conditioned air loss, thermal bridging and the infiltration of outside air and moisture to increase the building’s resiliency and provides more comfort and better air quality to the tenants.
