Lord Harley Apartments is a 112-unit wood-frame rental building constructed in 1973.

RDH was engaged to assess the building’s performance and lead a comprehensive enclosure renewal to improve durability, energy efficiency, and occupant comfort.

Retrofit measures included new cladding, triple-glazed windows, continuous exterior insulation, and upgraded balcony assemblies. Mechanical upgrades featured high-efficiency condensing boilers and improved ventilation through continuous exhaust systems.

RDH supported decision-making through energy modeling and cost-benefit analysis, helping identify utility rebate opportunities and maximize return on investment. The project reduced energy use, improved interior conditions, and extended the life of a well-utilized building—demonstrating a practical approach to sustainable renewal for aging multifamily residential buildings.
