The residential units include 14 no. 2 storey houses, 17 no. 3 storey houses, 3 no. 3 storey duplex and 3 No. 2 storey duplex apartments with a combined internal gross floor area - circa 4515 sqm.
The building fabric incorporates a high standard of insulation achieving an A2 rating using triple glazed windows and air-tight membranes meeting the requirements and to the satisfaction of Limerick City & County Council.
The main structural frame comprises panelised light gauge steel frames (LGSF), constructed using off-site modular construction techniques and delivered flat packed to the site for installation.
The internal party walls were built to meet onerous thermal conductivity, acoustic and fire resistance requirements. Each dwelling was installed with a high-performance heat pump as the main source of hot water and heating. Further advanced heat zonal design allowed for minimal electric usage thus reducing Carbon footprint of end user.
