Seabury Cooperative Housing Renovation

The Seabury Cooperative is an 88-unit multifamily housing development in New Haven. It consists of two buildings – a 7-story tower and a 2-story low rise. Built in the early 1970’s, the two buildings are aging and in need of assorted repairs, upgrades and renovations. The primary goal of the project is to lower utility-driven operating costs by upgrading the building’s thermal envelope and mechanical systems. A related goal is the safe, cost-effective implementation of the energy efficiency upgrades while the building is occupied. A final goal is to provide support and training for members of the Seabury Cooperative for how to enjoy and maintain their newly renovated, more energy-efficient home.
