CASE STUDIES
Columbus, Ohio: Choice
Neighborhoods Initiative Fuels
Redevelopment of Historic Public
Housing
With $29.7 million in Choice
Neighborhoods Initiative
implementation grant funding, the
Columbus Metropolitan Housing
Authority in Columbus, Ohio, partnered
with developer McCormack Baron Salazar
to transform a 414-unit, 1940s-era
public housing project into a
450-unit, mixed-income community.
Named for abolitionist pastor Reverend
James Preston Poindexter, the
Poindexter Village development is
helping to revitalize the Near East
Side neighborhood by spurring
additional investment. Read more at:

NEW REPORTS
Analyzing Cost and Energy Use Impact of Integrated
Hot Water Systems in Modular Construction
UC Berkeley’s Terner Center for Housing
Innovation, SmithGroup, and Factory_OS examined the
potential of integrating a distributed 120-volt,
shared-circuit heat pump domestic water heating system
in multifamily modular construction. The study included
two main components: 1) the energy performance of a
distributed electric heat pump water heater system
relative to centralized, building-level water heating
systems using either natural gas or electric heat pumps,
and 2) the life-cycle cost comparison of multifamily
water heating via a centralized heat pump installed
onsite, distributed heat pumps installed in modular
units at the factory, or distributed heat pumps with
wastewater heat recovery capability installed in modular
units at the factory. Distributed heat pump water
heating systems are shown to offer the greatest energy
efficiency but at higher life-cycle costs than
centralized heat pump systems. Read more at:
