1057 Atlantic

InFacade’s Role

InFacade performed the thermal performance analysis of the glazing and framing systems for 1057 Atlantic, providing the NFRC-based U-factor, SHGC, VT and condensation resistance values required for energy code compliance, together with an acoustic performance assessment of the façade assemblies.

Scope of Work

• Thermal performance analysis of the glazing and framing systems using NFRC methodology (THERM / WINDOW)
• U-factor calculations
• Condensation resistance evaluation
• Solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) and visible transmittance (VT) calculations
• Acoustic performance simulation (STC / OITC)

Deliverables

Thermal simulation reports prepared under NFRC 100 and NFRC 200 methodology by an NFRC LEAFF Certified Simulator, documenting U-factor, SHGC, VT and condensation resistance for each system, ready for energy code submittals and specification review. STC and OITC ratings for the glazing and wall assemblies confirming compliance with the project’s acoustic requirements.

About the Project

1057 Atlantic Avenue is a 17-story residential building in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York, designed by Dencityworks and developed by Douglaston Development.

The 474,000-square-foot building includes 456 rental apartments, 137 of them permanently affordable, along with about 35,000 square feet of amenity space and ground-floor commercial space.
