SRM Roof Gadgets

 

A photovoltaic array generates power for the building. 

 

Energy generation and consumption are tracked and displayed.

Solar panels also generate hot water for the building.

The snow melt system installed in the gutters will prevent the acumulation of snow and ice at the edges of the roof, during the cold winters at the Canyon.

Snow guards/rail system.

Tubular skylights bring tons of light to the interior of the building and a weather station keeps track of weather conditions and data.

Site Visit Nov 13, 2012

 



These are some black and white images of the Science Reaserch Management Building taken during DCM's site visit.

 

These have been some pretty cold days @ the Grand Canyon, and the building has been able to maintain warm inside without any heating running, eventhough temperatures have dropped to 14F at night! The building envelope is doing its job!

 

 

 

This is an image of the North Elevation

The south portico that will hold outdoor SRM staff meetings.

The stair tower pays homage to Mary Colter's, Dessert View Watch Tower.

The siding refers to the geological strata of the walls of the canyon.

October Update

Exterior work is almost complete.

Some of the LED light fixtures have been installed. These lights will be powered by a roof-mounted Photovoltaic solar array.

Some of the building's interiors.

The floor has been stained. Check out all that natural light. There are no electrical powered light fixtures in this image!
