Bridgeport, CT – Viking Construction, Inc. announces its recently completed building project, the Crescent Crossing multi-family community in Bridgeport, has earned both the LEED Gold and PHIUS certifications.
The LEED Gold certification was verified by Green Business Certification, Inc., following an evaluation of key factors including energy use, water efficiency, and indoor air quality. The PHIUS certification came after an extensive review that determined Crescent Crossing was constructed to Passive House standards using strict environmental practices and materials.
Crescent Crossing is part of a larger revitalization effort of the 3.5-acre site that once housed the very first public housing complex in Connecticut. The new community emphasizes high energy efficiency, sustainability, and resident comfort and makes use of sustainable landscaping. Interiors include Energy Star-rated appliances, efficient lighting, triple-glazed and tempered windows, insulation, individually controlled central heating and air conditioning, ventilation, and low VOC finishes. Rooftop solar panels generate more than 72,444 kWh of electricity annually which is used to power common areas and LIFE-safety lighting.
