GREENWOOD

Description

Greenwood Park Apartments is a collection of 15 buildings, two and three stories in height, providing 122 residential units. BEC provided a performance assessment during the design phase to determine whether critical building performance deficiencies were addressed, and potential upgrades captured within the renovation project design. The masonry exterior walls exhibited signs of moisture stress and the heating system lacked any zone control. BEC assessed the enclosure, which included destructive investigation from the interior side of the exterior wall and observing water drainage from the roof overhangs. From our initial site investigation, BEC provided over 40 recommendations to the design team to incorporate in the design development. The performance facility assessment provided by BEC dovetails with the Commissioning Agent (CxA) quality assurance services that BEC are providing for the design through construction phases.

Southbridge Credit Union

Overview

Building Evolution Corporation (BEC) has performed a Facility Conditions Assessment (FCA) of all building systems for the building portfolio operated by Southbridge Credit Union (SCU). The FCA included six buildings that ranged in age from 10 to 182 years, constructed of various building systems, and each with unique architectural design and issues. Our assessment has provided SCU with the ability to prioritize projects and funding across the portfolio and to help evaluate its future needs. Our recommendations help to overcome existing issues, improves the buildings performance, durability, and indoor conditions. We developed a five-year plan for addressing deferred maintenance as well as an overall 20-year capital plan for the main building systems. BEC is now working as the Commissioning Agent (CxA) for capital upgrades and ongoing operations for SCU.
