Creekside Elder Housing

The design team worked with the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde to develop 24 affordable housing units with energy-reducing features. A recent Energy Trust of Oregon assessment gave a preliminary rating of net zero, helping lower residents’ utility bills. Our team accomplished this by paying careful attention to the exterior building envelope and selecting high-efficiency mechanical systems such as an energy recovery ventilator, all LED lighting, solar light wells, and a 7 kWA rooftop solar array.
