Echo Eastlake Case Study: Beyond the Code: Meeting PHIUS Standards

Phius projects are built to a rigorous high-performance building standard with the intent of maintaining a comfortable indoor environment with very low operating energy. Echo on Eastlake is a four-story, 10 micro-unit multifamily building that replaces an existing sing-family structure to increase density and provide more middle housing in Seattle. Come see how far beyond code we had to push the envelope to achieve Phius Design Certification. Amanda Lo and Cybil Tribié with BEE will use the project as a design case-study and also discuss general best practices for meeting the stringent third-party verification requirements during construction.  

 Cybil Tribié joined BEE Engineers in June of 2023 and is the Sustainability Department Manager. She oversees all green building programs for BEE. Prior to her time with BEE, Ms. Tribié was the Director of Operations with Evergreen Certified in Seattle, WA. While there, she was the primary contact with builders to aid them in achieving their green building certification as third-party verifier for agencies such as Built Green, Energy Star, and Phius. She also conducted game-planning meetings, site visits, blower door tests, energy models and HRV balancing on a per-project basis; as well as collecting  supporting documentation to put together submittal packages to certify projects under different green building programs. Ms. Tribié also serviced as a member of the Corporation for National and Community Services as an AmeriCorps State and National member through Habitat for Humanity in Seattle, King County as a Construction Volunteer Lead. In this position she trained, supervised, and built alongside daily crews of volunteers while maintaining construction progress, OSHA safety standards, and volunteer satisfaction. This is where she developed her residential construction knowledge. 

 Amanda Lo joined BEE Engineers in February 2024 and currently serves as an Energy Consultant. Ms. Lo provides commercial and residential building energy envelope analysis, coordinates with project teams to ensure energy code compliance, facilities Phius certifications, and works with clients and utilities to achieve energy efficiency incentives. Ms. Lo currently volunteers as a member of the AIA 2030 Working Group, which helps support the AIA 2030 Commitment and its goal for buildings to reach carbon neutrality by 2030. Prior to Ms. Lo's employment at BEE, she worked as an architect in both Seattle and Chicago. Over the course of her career, she has developed K-12 and higher education, multifamily, and institutional projects from early programming though the construction phase. She has always been a proponent of an early integrated design process to produce holistic, energy efficient, and sustainable projects. Over the past few years, her focus has been primarily in the technical design aspects of architecture and building science, which inspired her to transition from architecture to consulting.
