Broadway Senior Center in Sacramento, California consists of 14 four-plex buildings and 12 six-plex buildings, each with one- and two-bedroom units.
DHI applied cutting-edge single-family-home construction in the four-plexes by installing SunCache ICS collectors that preheat water before it enters a water heater. The project realized a 40% reduction in gas usage for hot water heating. To further reduce energy consumption, DHI used a 98%-efficient Navien tankless hot water heater, the most efficient tankless hot water heater available.
Overall the project realized a 35% increase in energy efficiency through the installation of new HVAC equipment, high efficiency windows, new insulation, and Energy Star® appliances and equipment.
DHI passes these savings directly on to Broadway's residents.
Pacific Rim Apartments is a 32-unit new construction project in South Sacramento, California. In this property, DHI constructed all three-bedroom apartments to address the lack of family-type units in this marketplace. Robert Hayes Architects provided the unique design of the facility, incorporating passive and active energy solutions.
The large windows and tall ceilings throughout the property give a luxurious feel. Each unit's practical size and layout takes advantage of DHI's super-efficient energy systems for hot water and heating. The energy system upgrades delivered a 50% savings on the resident's utility costs compared to typical HVAC systems in the market.
Kachina Apartments is an acquisition and rebuilding of a 96-unit senior property in Casa Grande, Arizona. DHI worked with USDA and the State of Arizona Housing fund to craft a multilayered financing structure. DHI was honored by the USDA when Kachina was introduced as a model project for its energy upgrades and energy-efficient systems. All common area electrical systems are 100% solar powered, and a solar hot water system provides bulk hot water for all laundries.
The rebuilding of Kachina included a full rain-water retention system that converts all rain to irrigation water sitewide. DHI installed a 20,400 gallon water reclamation system that harvests water runoff from the 21,000 sq. ft. parking lot and stores it in tanks buried under the new xeroscaped property. The annual average rainfall in Casa Grande is 8.39". The system will harvest approximately 110,000 gallons per year. The harvested water will serve all irrigation needs at the property, and the xeroscaping will save an additional 1.25 million gallons per year.
At acquisition, this 140 unit, 8 building complex was substantially worn with lots of deferred maintenance. With an extensive rehab that included replacing all of the HVAC, kitchens, bathrooms roofs and windows, we were able to create energy efficiency throughout. Additionally, we installed 16 passive hot water solar panel collectors to each boiler system, reducing the properties utility usage by 40%.
As part of our commitment to creating a better community for our residents, we repurposed some unused space and turned it into a community room where we had computers installed allowing free internet access, installed a playground, refurbished the pool and converted an unused piece of the property into a soccer field.
