Our Services
Choosing ComfortHome to help you build an energy-efficient multi-family building can qualify you for improved financing through state FHA's; lower building operating costs; and increase the residents comfort and satisfaction.
Since 1984, ComfortHome has provided builders and property managers with support to comply with state finance housing authority (HFA) loans, improve indoor air quality and energy efficiency, and reduce building durability issues.
Finance Housing Authority Compliance
Businesses that may be interested in FHA multifamily programs include engineers, environmental technicians, carpenters, market analysts, appraisers, lending institutions, tax credit syndicators, masonry contractors, plumbers, electricians, HVAC specialists, glaziers, surveyors, drafting specialists, soils experts, financial specialists, title and property insurance firms, landscapers, building maintenance providers and other support organizations.
There are several ways in which developers and owners can participate in HFA tax credit and loan compliance. ComfortHome can work with you from the beginning to ensure that your multi-family building design will comply with all requirements for FHA funding.
For newly constructed properties that are not assisted by the federal government, tax credits for affordable housing are based on a "present value" of 70 percent of the "qualified basis" over a ten-year period.
Pre-Construction Engineering Services
ComfortHome's mechanical engineering group reviews multi-family plans pre-construction for specification writing, program integration, energy code compliance, tax credit compliance, MEP Plan integration, State FHA Compliance, and any design inefficiencies.
Our engineers design HVAC systems based on nationally accepted Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA) Manuals. ComfortHome completes residential HVAC Loads utilizing Manual J calculations, determines HVAC mechanical equipment sizing to ensure perfect delivery of Comfort, Air Quality, and Efficiency, and Manual D to design Air Flow and Duct sizing.
ComfortHome can increase the home performance and reduce overall building costs through utilization of performance trade-offs and materials selections.
By consulting with ComfortHome early in the design phase, we can draft your multi-family residence with the MEP Plans correctly sized to perform and function, to avoid the often disintegrated mechanical, electric, and plumbing plans.
