Meade St.

All-electric, multi-zone, and quietly engineered: Meade Street is a new-construction urban infill home plus ADU and home office, with Point 6 designing the mechanical and ventilation systems

Meade Street is a new-construction project in north Denver—an Urban House on a U-SU-C zone lot with a detached accessory dwelling unit and a separate home office. Davis Urban is the architect of record; IMEG is the structural engineer; the general contractor is to be determined. Point 6 is providing the mechanical design and the ventilation design for the project.

The mechanical strategy is built around two ideas: keep the system all-electric, and zone it so each space gets the right kind of comfort. On the main house's first floor, hydronic radiant floor heating is fed by an air-to-water heat pump (AWHP), paired with a ducted forced-air loop on an air-to-air heat pump for cooling—two zones, one for main living and one for the office/entry. The second floor and basement carry options that the project is evaluating against cost and comfort: fully ducted forced air, full hydronic radiant with ducted backup, or a mix of radiant and electric resistance heat. The detached ADU and home office run on dedicated air-to-air heat pumps with through-the-wall balanced ventilation.

Fresh air comes from a Brink FLAIR ERV with integrated exhaust at all bathrooms and the kitchen—one system handling both supply ventilation and humidity-managed exhaust, with push-button boost in the wet rooms. Every piece of equipment is being sized to ACCA-compliant Manual J / S / D load calculations against the building itself, not to rule-of-thumb assumptions. Controls are being shaped around a single household experience (Google Home–compatible thermostats per zone) rather than a stack of disconnected manufacturer apps
