ECOLOGIC LOFTS
The winds of change are blowing in every corner of our world, even in our housing choices.
Ecologic Lofts in Chicago’s Bucktown community harnesses the power of wind with rooftop wind turbines that generate up to 2% of the electricity used by the building, a significant percentage.
And the turbines are only one of many green elements employed at Ecologic Lofts to conserve energy and reduce the carbon footprint.
Check out all these eco-friendly features:
- A roof with soil and plantings that help insulate the building and require no irrigation
- Highly efficient energy systems that are 14% above high ASHRAE standards (American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air-conditioning Engineers)
- Highly efficient building envelope, with Low-E insulated windows, insulated exterior concrete and high-R value in walls
- No CFC (chlorofluorocarbon) refrigerants in the cooling systems, a substance linked to deterioration of the ozone layer
- Water-efficient fixtures
- Water-efficient landscaping that uses no potable water
- Bamboo flooring in every home, a highly renewable resource
- 20% of construction materials utilized recycled materials
- No shared ductwork between dwellings, which creates a barrier between units to control air quality and eliminate odors
- More
In addition to the “active” green features listed above, a variety of “soft” green elements are part of the Ecologic Lofts experience, too. Some of them are:
- Bike racks to promote bicycle use
- Preferred parking for hybrid/high mileage vehicles
- Location in a highly walkable neighborhood
- Informational kiosks in lobby for residents to continue their environmental commitment
“Shrinking your carbon footprint does not mean a compromise in you quality of life,” says the developer. “Ecological design and upscale amenities exist in synergy.”
Ecologic Lofts are available in one- and two-bedroom floorplans. The one-bedroom units have a choice of one or one-and-a-half baths, and the two-bedroom lofts come with one or two baths. Each loft has a balcony for great city views.
Located where Bucktown, Lakeview and Lincoln Park meet, Ecologic Lofts are in the heart of a vibrant, bustling community where dining, entertainment, cultural attractions and shopping are all close by. Condominiums and lofts are plentiful in Bucktown, one of Chicago’s hippest neighborhoods, but only Ecologic Lofts can boast of being eco-friendly, upscale and affordable.
