PHOTOVOLTAIC PANELS A rack system supporting
Sanyo HIP-190 photovoltaic modules with SMA
modular inverters would be installed on the two
high roofs (east/west) and one of the low roofs
(west) at 23 pitches. The Sanyo PV modules would
be installed on racks mounted on top of the
asphalt roof surface. Arrays would be 73 feet
long by 8.75 feet wide on both of the high roofs
and 73 feet long by 4.4 feet wide on the low west
roof. This coverage of photovoltaic represents
approximately 28,000 kWh per year, approximately
25 of the buildings average annual energy
consumption.

TRIPLE GLAZED SELF VENTILATING WINDOWS   All
windows are triple glazed for energy efficiency.
4
GEOTHERMAL ENERGY HEAT SOURCE   The facility will
utilize ground-coupled heat pumps that derive
their thermal energy from the ground water below.
Ground water is raised from a well, 1,500 feet
deep at a constant temperature of approximately
55 degrees Fahrenheit and utilized in conjunction
with a heat pump system to provide heating and
cooling throughout the year.
5
WATERLESS COMPOSTING TOILET SYSTEMS   The
sanitary waste disposal system utilizes waterless
composters located in the basement of the
facility.
6
BORROWED NATURAL LIGHTING   Enclosed offices at
the perimeter of the building have glazed side
panels and transoms at the interior walls to
allow natural light to penetrate to the interior
work space.
7
RENEWABLE RESOURCES - CABINETS   Interior
cabinetry will be constructed utilizing a number
of products manufactured from annually renewable
wheat straw fiber and soy products.

CORK FLOORING
SLATE FLOORING
CARPET
BAMBOO FLOORING
RENEWABLE RESOURCES   Several of the finish
materials used within the facility are derived
from renewable resources such as bamboo and cork
flooring. In addition carpeting materials were
manufactured from recycled materials as were the
exterior siding materials. 20 of all building
materials were manufactured within 500 miles of
the site, including natural slate and field stone
used in the project.

ON-SITE RECYCLING CENTER   The Trustees of
Reservations is committed to recycling the
maximum amount of site generated debris. A
recycling center in the basement of the facility
provides a repository for all paper and paper
products as well as glass and metal containers.
In addition the Builder was required to recycle
all waste materials from the construction of the
facility.
