The Napier Street Residential Development consists of six buildings comprising seven 2-3 storey wood-framed residential buildings. Located in east Vancouver’s Grandview-Woodland region, this eclectic community boasts restaurants, shops, attractions, and housing for every taste. With clean, modern lines and character features, these contemporary homes offer unique upscale living. Upmarket gas stoves and appliances, stylish cabinetry, and light-filled open floor plans all combine to showcase west coast living at its best.
BCBS was an integral part of the team during the new construction of this development. Our expertise contributed to the successful completion of this exciting project through building envelope consulting services. This approach first included establishing the basis of design for the building envelope. During the construction phase, we performed ongoing field reviews and provided field testing of key envelope components as the testing agency. This approach first included establishing the basis of design for the building envelope and guiding the design for energy efficiency optimization through energy modelling. Envelope field testing included the necessary quality assurance field tests to ensure optimal functionality such as testing a sampling of windows and doors as well as conducting whole building airtightness testing to ensure compliance with energy efficiency targets.
