Research Project Overview:

This research project investigates energy efficient retrofits of multi-family residential buildings within the Salt Lake region. Specifically, the project focuses on an existing residential complex in Murray, built in 1960’s, and retrofitting of building systems and facades for eight units within this development. The overall goal is to investigate how modular design/construction and automation can be used in retrofit projects, from data capture of existing conditions, modeling, and documentation development to prefabrication of modular facade assemblies and building systems components for heating and cooling.
