Minimizes heat load/gain: Extensive wall and roof insulation. Energy efficient replacement/restored windows. Western exposure window canopies. Solar sympathetic roof garden addition on Livery: maximizes winter solar gain/ minimizes summer gain.
• Simple but efficient HVAC systems. Promote natural ventilation when possible. In-floor radiant heat for apartments.
• Green roofs on Livery and Showroom reduce cooling load and storm water runoff.
• Considering storm water collection and reuse from a portion of roof, reducing city water consumption and storm water runoff.
• Energy Star appliances. Energy efficient lighting.
• Clerestory windows on Livery apartments promote day lighting, natural ventilation.
Material Selection (proposed):
• Locally acquired, sustainably harvested lumber where possible – primarily hardwood trim.
• New concrete floors on Livery first and second floors, Mack first floor. Polished and/or stained for attractive, durable, finish. Although high in embodied energy, concrete is available locally, recyclable and very durable. Concrete doubles as fire barrier for apartments.
• Recycled materials in selective locations: reuse/ repurposing of Second floor Mack Building office cabinets and trim.
Relationship to Natural Environment:
• New shared rooftop garden on Livery.
• New rooftop patio above Showroom.
• Open air feel through use of garage doors in Mack first floor - in temperate weather.
LEED - Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design:
LEED is a sustainable design and construction certification program run by the US Green Building Council. PC-CCT/TCC recommends seeking LEED certification for the project, and is prepared to manage certification activity.
PC-CCT / TCC Organization:
The PC-CCT/ TCC is comprised of a talented pool of organizers, managers, designers, builders and workers who are dedicated to the successful completion of this project. We believe that broad
