Featured New GreenSpec Listing

GCS Modular Radiant Flooring Panel

GCS Modular Radiant Flooring Panels Avoid Problems with Poured-in-Place Floors

PEX hydronic tubing fits into integral channels on the underside. The panels, which weigh less than 8 pounds per square foot, respond more quickly to occupant thermostat adjustments than radiant-floor heat delivery systems with higher mass.

Case Study Highlight
Kingsbury Place Apartments in Walker, MI
Kingsbury Place Apartments in Walker, MI

Genesis Non-Profit Housing Corporation, based in Grand Rapids, Michigan, provides affordable and supportive housing for low-income, disabled, and formerly homeless individuals and families.

Kingsbury Place Apartments includes 32 one-bedroom, 10 two-bedroom, and 2 three-bedroom apartments for low-income families and individuals. Because the project team received a grant from Enterprise Community Partners, it used the Green Communities checklist of requirements as a guide to implement green features in the apartments. Additionally, this project was part of the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED for Homes pilot project and received a Silver certification.
