MidPen Housing is committed to sustainable development including the use of advanced green building methods, recycled content materials, energy-efficient and water-efficient appliances, and drought-tolerant and native landscaping.
Gateway Family will be an all-electric property and expects to achieve a LEED Gold rating. High-efficiency heating, air conditioning and assemblies reduce energy use. All units will have Energy Star appliances as well as energy-efficient light fixtures and water-efficient plumbing fixtures. Ample double-pane low emissivity windows will be installed in apartments to maximize natural daylight and ventilation and minimize cooling loads. Filtered fresh air through ceiling ducts and exhaust fans will also be installed to provide ventilation when windows are closed.
