1-In-50 Year Deep Energy Retrofit Project for Existing MURBshttps://metrovancouver.org/about-us/sustainability-innovation-fund/project/1341-In-50 Year Deep Energy Retrofit Project for Existing MURBsEmergency management;Energy ＆ climate changeIn Progress<div class="ExternalClass3949087ABBC442B09A23568BE33F762B"><p>​​This project, located at the Crown Manor housing site, is the result of Metro Vancouver Housing’s involvement with the Pembina Reframed Initiative from late 2020 to 2023. This multi-party initiative aims to perform deep-energy retrofit projects on existing multi-unit residential buildings (MURB’s) that are chosen based on building form and energy use. The project consultant determined that the existing seismic resistance at Crown Manor is in the range of 20% of the current Building Code. Although not required, MVH is taking this 1-in-50-year opportunity to make the building safer and more resilient by improving the seismic resistance of the building to 100% (collapse prevention) of the current Building Code. </p><p>Upgrading the buildings seismic resistance with this innovative approach also creates an opportunity to add two new units at the ground level of the building, and improve energy efficiency. Not only will these two units increase the overall density of the building by 9%, they will strengthen the entire building structure and overall seismic resiliency, and create a more efficient building envelope. <br></p></div><div class="ExternalClass07CA3B8428C64879921CCD06B5527FC0"><p>​​​The project is well into detailed design and construction is scheduled to begin in Q2 of 2024. ​Next Steps include preparation of building permits and approvals to begin construction in 2024.</p></div>GP0|#5b4b4469-bbbf-4ed7-a4fc-4707ba31473a;L0|#05b4b4469-bbbf-4ed7-a4fc-4707ba31473a|Housing;GTSet|#ab8a80a3-ac09-4cde-99c1-454c04cb5931City of New Westminster2023
