Woodcrest Retirement Residence is a 59-unit, substantial rehabilitation on a former nuns’ infirmary available to individuals 55 years of age and older. It is located on the Felician Sisters campus in Moon Township west of Pittsburgh and was completed in 2008. Woodcrest Retirement Residence was awarded the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) 50+ Housing Award and is certified LEED Gold. Recapturing the embodied energy on this previously developed site using day lighting strategies, designing a right-sized ventilation system, and super-insulating the building shell are some of the strategies used to make the building highly energy efficient.
