The incorporation of solar panels on the roof were discussed and while no hard input has been received for our current solar providers, input was still being pursued for information of this project. The primary concern discussed was how the roof edge could be improved to hide solar panels for the ground and perhaps most importantly from the approach drive which is somewhat higher than grade that the building floor pan. It was discussed that these architectural factors are as much a part of the "solar ready' moniker and other building infrastructure. The expected solar panel layout still needs confirmation but the assumptions currently are a "saw tooth" ballasted roof mount as we have at other buildings with the high edge of the panel at 10-12 inches above the deck. The discussion was about determining the height of the parapet needed to hide the panels, especially on the main approach, but also without going so high that we reduce the available solar area on the roof. It was hoped that better solar layout and needs for net zero would be available at the next meeting. Summary for next meeting: It is anticipated that we will have an energy analysis for the building in January and schedule the next meeting after that. It was discussed to have additional information on solar panel layouts and parapet heights for review. It was expected to have further information on Red List scope that could be included. It was expected that the next meeting will have a project budget draft for review. Motion was made and seconded to adjourn at 6:30 pm. Meeting Adjourned
