Essex Commercial Construction and You

Essex Commercial Construction can provide expertise in commercial energy efficiency, performance, comfort, and affordability and will work with you to incorporate energy-saving materials and technologies into your project.

We are currently working with Spire Corporation to design and develop a photovoltaic parking structure canopy in central New Jersey.

Our stratigic partner, AJ Shea Construction has built dozens of custom homes that feature products and techniques designed to minimize energy consumption and incorporate National Association of Homebuilders Green Home building guidelines, such as:

• Ensuring air barrier continuity in framing
• The use of high R-value insulation materials and techniques
• The use of low emissivity and inert gas filled windows
• The use of high efficiency oil and gas boilers
• Installation of Energy Star labeled appliances
• Installation of heat recovery ventilators

Recently, projects have been constructed using the Icynene Insulation System® to treat residential structures. It is a fully integrated insulation system that completely seals the building envelope and allows control of air movement and moisture within the walls.

In addition, a number of homes have been built that use passive solar heat to supplement conventional HVAC systems. These spaces feature south-facing glazing, appropriately designed thermal mass to prevent overheating and provision for airflow to adjoining rooms.

A custom home was built that features a geothermal heat pump at the heart of the heating and cooling design. This ground source system uses two closed-loop wells on the property to deliver heating and air conditioning with great energy efficiency and heats the domestic water tank with heat exhausted from the system during the summer months.

Essex Commercial Construction is especially proud of their involvement in the recent installation of the state's largest commercial photovoltaic array and can provide a comprehensive solution to integrate active solar power into your new commercial construction or renovation.
