- INTERIOR ARBORICULTURAL PRACTICES -
How Solar Radiation Interacts with Glass Enclosures Long-Wavelength Light is reflected by the glass while Visible and ShortWavelength Light pass though it. Visible Light is reflected by the surfaces inside the enclosure and it passes though the glass escaping the greenhouse. Short-Wavelengths are absorbed by surfaces within the space and re-emitted as Long-Wavelengths that are trapped withing the Glass Enclosure as its continuously reflected by the glass. The Glass, ground and all surfaces within the space absorb the short and long wavelengths and warm-up in the process. Within the Glass Enclosure, the air closest to ground heats up and rises as it is replaced by cooler air. This results in a continuous circle (convection) that, if left uncontrolled, warms the interior space to unbearable temperatures. Mechanical and Natural Ventilation System and Solar Radiation

Indigenous American Trees The proposal seeks to provide, thought the ground level, the optimal conditions to support the existence of American Tree Species. Apple Orchard As part of the journey through the building, visitors are required to prepare and bake a traditional American Apple Pie. Visitors are to tend to the orchard and pick the fruits by themselves. Pine Trees The pines are to purify the air and as a mean of offering a higher degree of soil stability though their roots.

The water used within the buildings facilities ( sinks, kitchen appliances, washing machines, showers etc.) will also be recirculated and fed to the root system of the trees
Masterplan Impact All the rain / Grey water used and accumulated on site will be properly employed. None of the collected water will be fed into the neighboring North West By Brook river avoiding any river bank erosion and subsequent flooding . If the collected water quantity becomes too large, there are numerous SUDs (sustainable drainage systems) present on site.

Over 50% (14100 sqm) of the roof surface can be used to install solar farming equipment. A portion from the old solar farm could be reused and continue producing sustainable energy for the building.
The 7 pie baking ovens will use the generated thermal output to heat and distribute fluid into the main heating insulation.
The infrastructure to make this possible already exist on site and it would alleviate the change of use process.
Ground coupled Heat Exchanger An indoor heat pumping plant unit circulates temperature-sensitive fluid though an underground pipe loop system. The underground level maintains a constant of 10 to 15°C so its possible that during summer the system caries the heat outside and draws it inside during winter.
