D AY TO N OPE RATOR G E N E RA L D ATA
There are two distinct types of mechanical operators suitable for use with industrial sidewall windows – the torsion lever arm type and the rack and pinion type. Both consist of a worm and gear power actuating a revolving horizontal pipe shaft. In either type the power may be controlled by means of:
All oil enclosed type powers are equipped with machine cut steel worms and mounted between ball thrust bearings. Worm gears are machine cut iron. Refer to tables of limits shown on plate drawings 1400-21, 1800-23, for lever arm type and 1400-22, 1800-21 and 1800-22 for rack and pinion type.
(1) A chain wheel with a continuous chain extending to within 2'-0" of the floor. (2) A vertical pipe shaft with handwheel attached to the lower end approximately 4'-0" above floor.
Right angle transmission gears are furnished only with machine cut steel miter gears and enclosed in oil tight housing.
(3) A vertical pipe shaft extending to a miter gear box controlled by handwheel or detachable crank handle at miter gear box located approximately 4'-0" above floor.
Crank or handwheel controlled miter gear boxes are available in either dust or oil enclosed types. Chain wheel type powers are recommended for single runs only. For multiple runs, that is parallel lines of operators located one above the other and controlled from one station, use vertical shaft control with handwheel at miter gear box. In the latter case, use one power at each horizontal shaft.
The above is common to both types of operators and the following outline describes the principal difference and respective advantages.
A–TORSION LEVER ARM TYPE
If chain wheel control is required for multiple runs, use one right angle transmission gear-box at each horizontal shaft plus one power per group. Vertical shafting is required to connect the right angle transmissions. This arrangement should only be used when building conditions make it impossible to use vertical shaft and miter gear control.
1. Force is transmitted from horizontal shaft to ventilators by means of malleable iron lever arms, and steel connecting bar. 2. Provides adequate control for short runs, although lever arm design develops more torsional stress in the horizontal shaft than that of rack and pinion design. Therefore, a finer adjustment is required to obtain tight closing of ventilators farthest removed from the power.
Universal joints may be used to offset vertical shafts. Degree of offset should never exceed 35 degrees.
3. The use of oil enclosed powers increases the capacity of this operator a little, also provides easier and smoother operation.
Horizontal shafts at right angles to each other may be controlled from a single power, provided that a right angle transmission gear box is used at the junction. This arrangement should be confined to short runs. Consult Home Office whenever necessary to use this arrangement.
4. This type of operator is most economical for short runs of windows.
B–RACK & PINION TYPE
Generally, horizontal and vertical shafts are of 1-5/16" O.D. standard pipe coupled together with malleable iron or steel sleeve couplings. Standard practice is to attach the lever arms or rack arms to the hardware bracket located at the bottom of pivoted, top hinged and projected down and out ventilators. Arms are attached to the top of ventilators that are bottom hinged or projected up and in types only, or where clearance for arms is restricted, such as in craneways, etc.
1. Force is transmitted from horizontal shaft to ventilators by means of a reinforced pinion set screwed to the shaft and a rack arm held in mesh with the pinion by a floating steel yoke. 2. Provides very accurate control for any length of run within table of limits. This design develops minimum torsional stress and is most efficient type of operator.
All shaft hangers are roller bearing type and adjustable to compensate for variation in building construction. Hangers are located at each sash mullion and intervals not to exceed 8'-0" on centers along the walls should any occur between the extremities of the individual runs of operators. For hanger details see plate drawing 204-21.
3. The use of oil enclosed type powers increases the capacity of this operator considerably also provides easier and smoother operation. 4. This type of operator is most economical for long runs of windows. The gear ratio for the 1400 series power is 20 to 1. The gear ratio for the 1800 series powers is 30 to 1.

With the ever changing dynamics of office environments and IT systems and equipment, those panels with cutouts for accessories and power, voice and data cabling may no longer be needed. Do you need extra pedestal support assemblies? Many facilities existing access floor systems were manufactured and installed in the 1970's and 1980's. The majority of those manufacturers have long been out of business and parts and pieces are difficult to find. If this sounds familiar call us and we can assist in the search for compatible replacement parts for your system. More times than not we're stocking the needed material in our local warehouse or we can locate your parts within 24 to 48 hours.
Buy and Sell: Compu-Site Technologies, Inc. stocks a wide variety of "used" access floor systems. We won't offer for resale any material that isn't structurally sound and any material that we wouldn't stand behind 100%. Looking for a value engineering alternative for that access floor project, call us to check for systems we have in stock available for immediate delivery and installation.

Stewart Middle School Sidwell Friends School Washington, DC LEED Platinum 72,500 square feet (33,500 renovation; 39,000 addition)
How can we transform an outdated facility into an interior and exterior teaching landscape that educates students about the environment?
2006 Program: Renovation and addition, including new science, art, and music classrooms, a library, constructed wetland, and rooftop garden. Awards: AIA CAE Award for Excellence AIA COTE Top Ten Green Project BSA Sustainable Design Honor Award AIA Pennsylvania Honor Award AIA Philadelphia Honor Award Western Red Cedar Architectural Design Citation Zumtobel Group Award For Sustainability and Humanity in the Built Environment
The Master Plan for the Sidwell Friends School, which we completed in 2001, outlines a phased transformation of the disparate collection of buildings on its Washington, DC, and Bethesda, Maryland, campuses into a physical demonstration of the school’s values, founded in Quaker principle.
The Stewart Middle School, one of the buildings in the Master Plan, was an awkwardly-sited, undersized, 1950s facility that needed updating and expansion. All water falling on the site was shuttled into poorly repaired underground piping and directed into the municipal storm sewer system. We saw an opportunity to transform the facility into a true teaching landscape—not only inside its classrooms, but also on site—with rooftop gardens

SUSTAINABILITY We retained rainwater on a green roof, directing overflow down into a spillway, where it could make its way into a pond, rain garden, and cistern. Sewage is recycled in the wetland for grey water use in the building. A central energy

plant was designed to serve the entire campus, allowing greater control of energy resources and providing a demonstration of responsible energy use to students.
Our work at Sidwell Friends School combined an evolving master plan and seven phased buildings to unite two campuses that developed without any prior planning. Driven by an environmental ethic, these projects exemplify a long-term vision that makes tangible the school’s founding Quaker principles of sufficiency, stewardship, and simplicity. © Halkin Photography LLC
The reclaimed cedar “skin” on the building was selected for its ability, like biological skin, to selectively admit and reject the environment based upon the needs of the inhabitants. The innermost layer sheds most rain water but remains open to the movement of air. The outermost layers are organized to shield sunlight based upon orientation of the sun. Very high-grade western red cedar from salvaged fermentation barrels was used to make the solar shading. To expedite construction time, the cladding was fabricated off site as integrated assemblies.
3-D printed models were used to explore solar screening options for the various facades. Solar screening is used to balance thermal comfort and lighting inside the building.
CURRICULUM Today, teachers have integrated the building into the curriculum, educating students about materials and systems, from the origin of cork flooring and bamboo casework to the impact of switching a light on or off. A building dashboard provides real-time computation of the building’s resource use, raising awareness of each person’s role in reducing carbon footprint. Environmental science students measure and compare nitrogen and phosphorus levels of the

wetland, and they learn the valuable role that wetlands play in purifying water. The vegetated roof of the addition has been developed as an outdoor classroom for container gardening, and a photovoltaic array has been installed to generate a portion of the building’s electricity.
Solar

Sunlight heats air within the glass chimney tops, creating a convection current that draws cooler air into the building through north-facing open windows. Portals in the shaft ways allow students to witness the operation of the ventilation system. Wind chimes ring to indicate the movement of air.

emphasis on local, organic foods in the cafeteria. It has engaged students to make the connection between the building’s systems and the world outside the building—wholly consistent with Quaker values of environmental stewardship.

New Sidwell Middle School a Living Component to D.C. Campus Sustainable design a perfect fit for education institution’s green philosophy by Russell Boniface Associate Editor
Summary: Sidwell Friends School in Washington, D.C., recently opened its new sustainable middle school and is seeking to earn LEED® Platinum certification by the U.S. Green Building Council. The three-level, U-shaped, 70,000-square-foot school renovates an existing middle school and merges it with a new wing, forming one green-designed structure. Sustainable materials are implemented throughout the exterior and interior. An open courtyard defines the building structure by integrating the campus with the local landscape. Philadelphia-based KieranTimberlake Associates worked with Sidwell to incorporate the school’s Quaker philosophy—to be stewards of the Earth—into the green design. The new school and its campus will also serve as a sustainable education tool for students. Sidwell Friends School is a distinguished K–12 Quaker private school. Its Washington, D.C., campus, a 15-acre, 50year-old facility, is home to its middle and upper schools. The campus sits on a ridge near the city’s highest point, between two watersheds that flow through parks to the Potomac River. Sidwell alumni include Nancy Reagan, Gore Vidal, and Chelsea Clinton.

Reconceiving the school around nature Construction of the new middle school began in summer 2005. The building recently became occupied as final landscaping and exterior work nears completion. The original 35,000-squarefoot L-shaped school was integrated with a new L-shaped building, approximately the same size, to create a U-shaped edifice. Stephen Kieran, FAIA, partner, KieranTimberlake Associates, says the project was not about adding features. Rather, it is about re-interpreting architecture to be part of the land. “We felt the first sustainable act was to rejuvenate the old building,” says Kieran. “Then build up against the old one and have the merged structure form around the landscape to establish connections with nature. The new school now performs an environmental function but is also part of the life of the campus—all the way up to the green roofs.”

Sidwell is expected to use 60 percent less energy and 70 percent less water than a traditional school. Water reprocessing, a courtyard with a biology pond, energy efficiency, a green roof, and reclaimed materials are all at the heart of the sustainable design. Managing water resources. A courtyard wetland with a closedloop cycle allows for water reuse. The wetland takes the form of terraced rice paddies along the site’s natural topography. Rainwater is held and filtered through a vegetated roof on the new wing and channeled down the courtyard side into a collection stream that runs under the building’s entry bridge and drains into a biology pond. The pond supports native habitat and micro-organisms that will decompose wastewater as it moves through the functional wetland. “The water collection system is completely visible to the students,” says Kieran. “They can actually watch the passage of water from the roof down into the pond.” Energy efficiency. Actively, photovoltaic roof panels provide much of the building’s electricity. Passively, two solar chimneys on the new wing offer natural ventilation. “The solar chimneys and the shafts interconnect to the lower levels, which is made apparent by little port holes in the shafts,” describes Kieran. “Students can see air movement as it goes up, and there are bells that jingle when the air is actually moving.” The design optimizes daylight and minimizes solar glare on each building exposure. Explains Kieran: “On the south façade, horizontal solar light shelves both screen out the sun and welcome daylight. On the east and west façades, vertical solar shading screens are angled appropriately against the east and west glare. It all becomes a compass to help students understand solar orientation at an early age.” The green roof. A vegetablegarden rooftop on the new wing serves as an insulator and is part of the water recycling system. “The green roof is also a food garden, managed by the students and teachers,” adds Kieran. Sustainable materials. Virtually every material in the building is either reclaimed or recycled. “The cladding of the building is 100year-old western red cedar reclaimed from wine barrels,” Kieran notes. “Material for the walkways, inside lobby, and decks is green lumber pilings reclaimed from the Baltimore Harbor. There is extensive use of linoleum, cork, and reclaimed stone. We have displays throughout the building about the source of the materials and why they are renewable.” Sidwell’s other sustainable features include: Douglas fir from old high school bleachers used for window framing Vine-covered walls and screens on the building’s west end

Bamboo doors and cabinets Lights that adjust to sunlight Hall reflectors that bounce sunlight into classrooms at the perfect angle to provide light but not heat A ventilation system that can freshen air based the amount of CO2 released by people breathing in the room. Sidwell has commissioned documentation for LEED Platinum status. “It was not a leap to go from Sidwell’s belief structure as a religion to their obligation to take care of the natural world,” says Kieran. “It now has been formalized in a LEED program, but, in a way, they really didn’t need that. The project was not a hard sell—it is who they are.”

master plan & site design | washington, dc Andropogon’s Master Plan & Site Design at Sidwell Friends School included a central courtyard with a constructed wetland designed to utilize storm and wastewater for both ecological and educational purposes. Andropogon’s plan integrated water management solutions into the landscape, inextricably linking the building to its site. The wetland becomes a “working landscape”; using biological processes to clean water while providing students with a vivid example of how such systems work in nature. collaborator: KieranTimberlake awards: 2007 AIA COTE Top 10 Green Projects LEED™ Platinum Certified

The 40,000 s.f. design is a combination of 15,000 s.f. of laboratories with 25,000 s.f. of administrative and support spaces. The six labs respond to new state of the art environmental procedures for identifying pollutants. Labs, including general chemistry, microbiology, nutrients, organic analysis, metals, and organic preparation, are clustered under one large sloping roof punctuated by an array of skylights. Numerous successful efforts maximized environmental benefits and community investments with innovative and low cost solutions. To protect from late afternoon sun, large overhangs and light shelves shade the western office wall that opens up to the view. This window wall is peppered with operable windows controlled by the staff for natural cooling and ventilation. Integration of a storm water treatment zone into the landscape next to the park provides on-site working demonstrations and interpretive displays for public education.
