  1. Bethlehem Farm Design Development Approach Board Meeting February 23, 2012 Edited 6/27/2012

  2. chameleonarchitecture Design Development Phase Phase THREE of the contract including these itemized tasks. Research Researching components and systems that may be employed in the final design documentation, confirming application and integration with other components and systems to be used. Verification Verifying the design intent with the Facilities Program, applicable building code authorities having jurisdiction and other standards or criteria required to meet government and/or funding agencies. Implementation Developing the base documentation for the final construction documents and specifications as required by the design. The bulk of this work will be carried to fruition in the Construction Documentation phase.

  5. chameleonarchitecture Superior Wall Foundation www.superiorwalls.com (insulation value of R-21)

  6. chameleonarchitecture • Super-insulated (R-37) • Thermally-broken • Minimal waste in production • Quick installation • Produced using solar power! • Composed of FSC wood SIP Walls / Roof http://www.acmepanel.com/

  8. chameleonarchitecture Exterior Siding: Fiber Cement Fiber cement products are by their very nature essentially green products. Comprised mostly of FSC wood pulp and fly ash, these products divert waste from landfills and put it to practical use. • 90% of all materials used in manufacturing process are sourced within 200 miles of the facility. • 95% of the water used in making our products is recaptured, processed and used again. • 100% of our pre-cured fiber cement scrap is reused. Low Maintenance / Renewable Materials www.nichiha.com

  10. chameleonarchitecture Hot Water Radiant Floors www.radiantcompany.com

  11. chameleonarchitecture • Clean burning, complete combustion provides more heat from less wood, greater efficiency, reduced smoke and creosote build-up. • Second-hand stove from our friend Ed Pluchar • Deadfalls from our local area provide abundant local fuel source Wood Burning Stove www.hearthstonestoves.com

  12. chameleonarchitecture Green House www.BCGreenhouses.com Grow food year-round  Collect solar heat in winter  Drive the winter blues away

  13. chameleonarchitecture Collect solar heat in the winter Draw cool air in on summer nights Passive Solar Heating / Cooling www.simplesolarhomes.com

  14. chameleonarchitecture • Recover nutrients • Build soil • Build organic matter • Eliminate waste • Protect ground water • Conserve electricity Composting Toilets www.clivusmultrum.com www.envirolet.com

  15. chameleonarchitecture Use Less Electricity in the first place Energy Star Appliances www.homepower.com

  16. chameleonarchitecture • 50,000 gallons of rain will fall on our roof each year • Rain water can be used for garden irrigation, toilets, showers, etc. • Saves electricity for the well pump and preserves our ground water Rainwater Harvest www.rain-catchers.net

  17. chameleonarchitecture • Use energy from the sun to heat water for radiant floor heating and domestic hot water • Use PV panels to convert solar energy into electricity, rather than using coal-fired electricity Future PV & Solar Hot Water Panel Roof Connectors www.getpimby.com www.thesunbank.com
