Designing for Comfort: New Senior Living Facility Village at 47th Goes Tankless

When constructing a new senior living facility like the Village at 47th in Tukwila, WA, resident comfort and safety dictate every design decision. For this demographic, a sudden loss of hot water isn’t just an inconvenience; it can be a significant health and safety concern. To guarantee absolute reliability right from the ground up without surrendering valuable floor space to traditional boilers, the developers integrated a robust, high-efficiency tankless configuration into the building’s original design.

The new build features a powerful network of eight Intellihot iN199 units. By leveraging masterless cascading technology, these eight individual units scale heating output with demand. 

This multi-unit design provides the Village at 47th with the ultimate safeguard: absolute redundancy. If one or even multiple units are ever isolated for routine maintenance, the rest of the array automatically adjusts to carry the building’s hot water needs. The result is a highly efficient, space-saving setup that ensures these vulnerable residents never experience a drop in water temperature.
