28. The design from Quad two integrates with the current farm. Our design offers a finer facility for learn with the proper equipment and space for potential classes. Additionally By having a through pagoda entrance to the new facilities abutting Demeters our aim to connect the existing farm with the surrounding forest. The structure of our building allows great passive heating and out on the second growth and pine forest.

Soils west of Lewis Rd near Kiefer site: known as giles silt loam, (3% to 15% slopes) has the following general characteristics: effective rooting depth of 40-60 inches. Runoff is slow, and the hazard of water erosion is slight. This unit is typically used for woodland, home sites, and pasture (unit well suited to hay and pasture). Seasonal wetness causes muddiness. Build ability the main limitation is slope. Community gardens are part of the giles. 60 inch penetration to hard pan. East of Lewis Rd: Alderwood gravely sandy loam unit (3%-5% slopes.) Unit moderately deep, well drained soil, on glacial till plains. The native vegetation are conifers and hardwoods. A weakly cemented hardpan at depth of 30 inches. Strongly compacted and crushes to very gravely loamy sand. Depth to hardpan ranges from 20 to 40 inches on average. Permeability is moderaltly rapid above hardpan in alderwood soil and very slow in the pan. Available water capacity is low. Effective rooting depth is 20 to 40 inches. Perched seasonal highwater table is at a depth of 18 to 36 inches form November to March. The main limitations on site for septic absorption fields are the hard pan and the seasonal wetness. Wetland buffer, possible category one, located over 300 ft NorthWest of Demeter’s garden. Current and proposed code are max of 300 ft of wetland buffer. North of site is alder and wet soil. Sloping gradient east of farm sloping west.

compiled three years 2006 to 2008. Comfort zone at 65 degrees. Each month is represented on the 21st on 24hr time clock. July 21st: 6am to 6pm shading require for comfort. October 21st: shading from 8am to 1pm. Heating needed from November till February.
SCAN WIND SQUARE Average Annual Wind Speed: 1.3 meters per second. Average consistent throughout year, exceptions for severe storm systems. Average Annual Wind Direction: Bearing to South/Southwest at 190 degrees. Bearing towards southwest in June 233 degrees, and bearing Southeast 159 degrees in January. Current conditions with heavy forest from North make little availability for passive ventilation/cooling gain from winds. North site: possible higher wind than east site due to forest type.
cross referencing local temps, wind factor humidity, climates affect comfort, range of comfort in olympia region. This labels what the main design priorities are in need to achieve efficient design. priorities are to keep the heat in, protect from the winter, and use of solar radiation for heat. Analysis: Southern solar exposure, limited east/west exposure. North: site deciduous concentration (alders, maples), Greater solar exposure compared to east site. Two tree clusters in NE & SE hinder optimum conditions. East: site coniferous concentration. Estimated 15-25% western gradient east of Demeter’s garden.
Estimate for Hot Water Loads from secondary school base line: Conservative-8million gallons per year. Conventional-17 million gallons per year. Estimates for Electrical Loads- based off compiling occupancy types the appropriate category on the table provided from “sun, wind, light” is the “other” category. Typical: 18.10 wh/ft squared per day. Conservative: 6.72 wh/ft squared per day. Best: 2.88 wh/ft squared per day.
