A Green Development
Today every developer faces a personal moral choice to build green or not to build green. With global warming and rising energy costs, we chose to embrace green construction and to go as high energy efficient as we could. The Hickory has committed to the Architecture 2030 standards for existing buildings of meeting a fossil fuel, greenhouse gas (GHG) emitting, and energy consumption performance standard of 50% of the regional average for the building type. For the average energy usage by apartment see on our homepage Sq. Ft. & Power Bills.

It’s the Small Things That Matter
The Hickory is a large, 28,000 sq ft mixed use building. It is the home to our residents as well as the place of business to our first floor commercial tenant. Providing new finishes, utilities and new appliances is not enough for us. We take seriously our responsibility to offer a quality, quiet, energy efficient building.

Using state of the art materials, we have incorporated in every aspect of our planning and designs attention to minimizing sound transfers from one tenant space to another.

DETAILS ON SOUND QUIETING & INSULATION
  • On the bottom of the floor joist between the first and second floors is a continuous layer of 5/8” soundproof drywall hung on special sound isolation channels to further reduce the transmission of sound. Additionally the sound channel is spaced down from the underside of the floor joist with sound isolation blocks. 
  • Installed upon the original second floor decking is Homosote 440 sound barrier. This helps to control the lower base sounds. All of the second floor is built upon and above this sound barrier. Additionally, under the finish flooring is a layer of sound deadening cork to help control higher sharp sounds.
  • The roof is insulated with an R value of 40.
  • All window glazing is new. The apartment windows are custom made Energy Star rated and the first floor storefronts are all low E insultated glazing.
  • Walls facing the street are 12” thick masonry with an interior wall built inside of it. In the first floor apartments the walls average an R value of 60 and in the retail of R 40.
  • Walls between the apartments are actually two separate 2 x 4 walls with a 12 “ gap between them which is filled with blown-in cellulose insulation further there is a continuous layer of Homosote 440 sound barrier in the center between the two walls.These walls extend all the way to the underside of the roof on the second floor. On the first floor all the walls are spaced down from the soundproof drywall ceilings with sound isolation blocks. Only the wall drywall extends up within a ¼” of the ceiling. This last ¼” is caulked with soundproof sealant. All of this detailed extra work was done to reduce noise transfer between apartments.
  • Walls between the apartments and the common hallways are 2 x 6 walls filled with blown-in cellulose insulation.
