A new white paper is available, titled Adaptive Reuse: Converting Offices to Multi-Residential Family, a comprehensive analysis of the transformative approach to addressing housing shortages through the conversion of office spaces into residential units.
Authored by Christoph Lohr, P.E., CPD, LEED AP BD+C, ASSE 12080, vice president of IAPMO Technical Services and Research, the white paper delves into the challenges and opportunities presented by adaptive reuse projects. It emphasizes the importance of flexible building codes, like the Uniform Plumbing Code and Uniform Mechanical Code, in promoting construction affordability and sustainability.
From policy considerations to financing, the white paper covers all aspects of adaptive reuse projects. It discusses the complexities of zoning changes, the potential for mixed-use buildings to create more affordable housing and the financial incentives that can make these projects more attractive to developers.
