System Sensor Devices Are Part of Connecticut’s Largest Green Residential Development
360 State Street, New Haven, Conn. — the state’s greenest and largest residential development — is the first new major residential construction in New Haven in more than 15 years. On the way to becoming a certified LEED® Platinum Plan, the building is the first of its kind to be recognized by the U.S. Green Building Council in the Pilot Neighborhood Development Program for exemplifying the principles of smart growth, urbanism and green design prior to, during and post-construction.
As part of this project, FIRETECH Engineered Systems of West Haven, Ct., designed and installed the complete fire and life safety system. “The challenge was to bridge the gap between the building automated system, which is a typical sustainable design element, and the fire and life safety system, while meeting model building and fire code requirements,” said Adam Querker, vice president of Engineering at FIRETECH.
