Exciting news! Affordable housing development in Santa Fe

In October, we partnered with Habitat for Humanity to submit qualifications for an RFQ to the City of Santa Fe for the development of green affordable housing. The City has selected our proposal!

We are honored to work with Habitat to provide our hometown community with building systems that prioritize sustainability, reduce carbon footprint, and resilience for equitable development!

The property is a small, but desirable piece of property just blocks from the historic plaza on the Santa Fe River.

The six-unit multi-family complex will use B.PUBLIC pre-fabricated wall and ceiling panels for the building thermal envelope of each unit.

The building will meet Energy Star energy efficiency requirements and Net-Zero Energy-Ready, exceeding the standards established by the City of Santa Fe’s Green Code.

The units will be all-electric, equipped with energy-efficient electric appliances, LED lighting, a rooftop solar array, a hybrid electric water heater to maximize efficiency, and an Energy Recovery Ventilation System (ERV) to ensure clean and healthy air for occupants.

Maximizing efficiency and installing solar will allow the building to produce more energy than it consumes on an annual basis.

This will be a competitive process and we are gratified by our developing relationship with Habitat for this or future projects.

This is exactly the kind of non-profit relationship core to our mission for equity in housing.
