Pittsburgh EMS Medic 4 Station

Pittsburgh, PA

Pittsburgh EMS Medic 4 Station in Pittsburgh, PA, uses 5,800 SF of the SMARTci® Building Enclosure System over metal studs, behind MCM, ACM, and brick cladding, with polyiso insulation. It is an emergency medical services station, replacing a 19th-century facility and designed to Passive House standards. The project was designed by AE7, built by Caliber Contracting, and installed by Mohawk Construction.

Passive House certification requires an exceptionally airtight, highly insulated envelope. SMARTci meets that with a continuous air- and water-tight enclosure over a deep polyiso layer, limiting the infiltration and thermal bypass the standard targets.
