Located in the heart of the trendy North Loop neighborhood in Minneapolis, Bookmen Stacks is highly sought after for its contemporary architecture and stylish industrial lofts. For a premium multi-family condominium building, resident comfort is non-negotiable. To ensure reliable domestic hot water for its 45 units without sacrificing valuable downtown mechanical square footage to bulky storage tanks, the property utilised a high-capacity tankless configuration.

The facility installed two high-efficiency Intellihot iN401 units. This compact, all-tankless setup delivers precise, on-demand heating tailored perfectly to the heavy domestic hot water needs of a modern multi-family complex, effortlessly handling the morning shower rush.
By leveraging masterless cascading technology, the two iN401 units communicate seamlessly to share the daily load. When demand is low, only one unit fires up, keeping energy consumption and utility costs to an absolute minimum. If one unit needs routine maintenance, the other effortlessly takes over. This built-in redundancy protects residents from unexpected building-wide cold water events. Furthermore, by eliminating hot water storage tanks, Bookmen Stacks minimized its mechanical footprint and entirely avoided the continuous energy waste of heating stagnant water 24/7.
