Floors and plumbing pipes are all sound insulated to the floor below (second floor). Individual climate control for every room. Apartment has a MIRV6 air filter with energy efficient fresh air exchange that removes allergens, dust, viruses etc. Entire house with extensive energy efficient features: All windows European Tilt/Turn Triple pane. All walls (with a few exceptions) fully insulated. Third floor walls and roof constructed with state of the art extra energy efficient building materials and techniques including: Airkrete insulation (foamed concrete: energy efficient, fireproof, No VOCs, kills any bugs, repels rodents). Note - airkrete utilized in other areas of the house where possible, but not as consistently. Aerogel insulation utilized in areas with space limitations. This is NASA developed technology and utilizes vacuum foamed silica and is the most energy efficient insulation currently known (R10 cf R4 for standard materials). Phase change material (keeps living space temperature climate controlled passively during day/night cycle). Works like ice melting and freezing, but at room temperature. Copperflect radiant barrier. Blocks heat flow instead of slowing it down like with standard insulation. Roof, ceiling and walls wired with temperature sensors to monitor energy fluxes and demonstrate extraordinary energy efficiency and temperature stability. We have documented temperatures of 130-140F in the roof deck while the living space stays at 72F. HVAC highly energy efficient for whole house: Solar electric (PV) roof panels. N.B. Owners electric bill is Zero! Solar thermal panels (under PV panels) which contribute solar thermal hot water Two gas hot water boilers. Main is condensing 98% efficient 200,000 BTU (way overkill). Back up boiler is older model 80,000 BTU boiler. Note - when the main boiler has been down for maintenance during a cold spell, the backup boiler easily provides all necessary hot water and heat to the house. Tenants pay for their own electric and most of their cooling bills. All apartments and rooms plumbed with iVectors, which provide heating or cooling via hot/cold water from the basement. Highly energy efficient. All apartments provided with their own heat pump for generating cold water during cooling season. Note - a very neat design feature of the solar thermal panels is that they RUN IN REVERSE during the summer and radiates HEAT into the night sky which makes the cooling more efficient and less expensive for tenants. This is monitored and very cool graphics are available for when this is working. Basement floor with radiant heating. Garage and driveway pre-plumbed for electric car charging. All apartments have security buzzer/intercom to front door. Plumbing lead free copper pipes. All apartments and rooms with central but individually controlled heating/cooling units. Basement sewer lines replaced in 2016 with brand new steel pipes (made in America). . Basement storage area to front of house is semi-finished and has pre-plumbed heating pipes, and drainage pipes to potentially make a 2 bedroom and updated full bathroom for an additional living space. It is at 50%+ above grade level. This would require an additional exit door which could be built toward the driveway, or via the storage closet to the base of the front entrance stairs. Close to Riverdale Ave. Buses, # 1 Train and Metro North many restaurants and stores. First floor apartment currently rented for $3100 monthly.
