MEMORANDUM <br />ROSEVILLE PARKS RENEWAL PROJECT DATE: 9/20/201 3 <br />6. The design should explore clerestory windows <br />Response: The design team agrees that we need to bring natural light in high in the main <br />gathering space to provide the open and airy feeling desired. The design does combine a <br />vaulted space with windows up high on the side walls. This will deliver natural light up high <br />and be a less costly option than a clerestory structure and much less likely to leak than <br />skylights. <br />7. The design should explore sustainable systems /concepts (solar, geothermal, etc) <br />Response: The design team agrees that we need to explore sustainable options and <br />incorporate as many as possible within the budget. Easy solutions to incorporate include: <br />-Low flow plumbing fixtures <br />-Light sensors <br />-LED fixtures <br />- Certified lumber <br />- Recycled materials <br />- Required separation and recycling of construction waste <br />-Storm water treatment <br />-Low VOC finishes /materials <br />Other more costly systems such as solar heating of water will be explored and the building <br />should be prepared to allow those systems to be installed at a future date. Some systems <br />such as geothermal for a building such as this do not make sense financially as the payback <br />is too long. <br />8. Building spaces and volumes should not be excessive to heat & cool. <br />Response: The building's vaulted spaces will be created by using scissor style wood trusses that <br />provide for a more modest height but one that is appropriate for community gathering space. <br />- H A G E N C H R I S T E N S E N & M C1 L W A I N - <br />P A G E 2 OF 2 <br />
