LoDo Energy Efficiency and Smart Homes currently
LoDo's energy efficiency and smart home conversation reflects the building-dependent nature of the market. For high-rise condominiums, the building envelope and central systems determine much of the energy performance at the individual unit level. Unit owners typically control interior finishes, appliances, and some lighting and climate elements while the building's central HVAC and envelope performance are building-wide characteristics.
For historic loft conversion buildings, the original construction's energy performance is typically poor by modern standards. Loft units in these buildings often have windows that are original or near-original industrial glazing with poor insulation values, and building systems that vary in their update history. Buyers who are particularly concerned about energy operating costs should specifically evaluate the building's systems and the specific unit's window and insulation conditions before purchase.
Smart home features in LoDo condominiums and lofts are primarily unit-level installations that buyers can request or sellers can present as upgrades: smart locks, smart climate control, and the building access and security integrations that downtown living specifically benefits from.
