Casa Adelante at 2060 Folsom makes the most of its urban, park-adjacent site to provide infrastructure for social equity and a low-carbon future. The project is the first large new-construction all-electric multi-family housing in San Francisco and boasts a predicted gross EUI of 14.6. A mixed-use building with 127 permanently affordable homes and a rich offering of resident and community-serving spaces on the ground floor, the project is also GreenPoint Rated Platinum. Green strategies include innovative stormwater management, a robust building envelope and efficient HRV and heat pump systems which allow the building to surpass Architecture 2030 goals for energy use intensity.
Learning Objectives:
Compare electric vs conventional MEP systems in order to demonstrate that fossil fuel free could be achieved at the same or lower cost.
Summarize the benefits of all-electric construction for decarbonization, resilience, resident health and safety.
Apply passive design strategies paired with renewable energy and efficient equipment to achieve EUI surpassing Architecture 2030 goals.
Explore innovative approach to stormwater management and social space which combines ecological function and informal play.
