Net -Zero Affordable Senior Housing: Rose Creek Village Hardhat Tour

Join us for a tour of Rose Creek Village, which will provide 60 units of affordable senior housing in the coastal Pacific Beach neighborhood of San Diego.

Using both façade- and roof-mounted PVs, this project tackles the challenge of achieving net-zero energy on a tight urban site served by one of the most expensive electric utilities in the country. On-site residential support services and the adjacent Rose Creek Bike Path support the ability of residents to age in place, healthily and affordably.

Learning Objectives

1. Discuss state and local affordable housing incentive programs that made the project, located in the Coastal Height Limit Overlay Zone, possible.
2. Identify collaborative design approaches by the developer partnership, builder, owner/operator, and design team.
3. Examine the project's solar façade detailing and construction, and discuss lessons learned to apply to future projects.
4. Discover small moves that can have a big impact on affordable senior housing in urban settings.
