Sustainable Lexington Committee Minutes of February 3, 2022 from the votes taken by the PBC, the SLC voted unanimously to support the following two motions: 1. The Sustainable Lexington Committee recommends approval of the building design with the PV array electrical and subgrade system and that it be advanced so that it can be included in the Police Station budget. 2. The Sustainable Lexington Committee recommends that the Police Station building design proceed into construction documents based on the sustainability design elements included in the design development materials presented on 3 Feb 2022 at the joint PBC and SLC meeting. The PBC recommended that two separate recommendations be made because while the original project included making the building "solar ready" (like other recent building projects)the decision to include the design of the solar systems in the scope of the project was only just made at the last Town Meeting. This approach allows for a solar design that is part of the overall project, rather than an afterthought. The first motion indicates the SLC's support for designing the building electrical systems and subgrade systems (e.g., conduit, foundation locations, etc.)to accomodate sufficient solar for a net zero building, understanding that the final location and design of the panels and canopies are yet to be determined and approved. The second motion indicates the SLC's support for the current status of the building design with regard to other elements of the Integrated Building and Construction Policy. The building will be designed to be all electric, the current energy model indicates that the design will meet the targets in the policy, the HVAC system will include appropriate levels of air filtration, and, while not complete, the work to remove red-list items from the design has identified many preferable alternative materials.
