Homans Building - Green Design Feasibility Study

Apparently, the City of Somerville did a feasibility study to examine opportunities for green design at the Homans Building, but I haven't been able to find it online although I've looked for almost an hour. We might want to ask Brad about this.




Project Overview from the website of the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative which seems to have awarded a $20,000 grant to the City of Somerville to conduct this feasibility study:

"When planning the conversion of three former warehouse buildings into offices, the City of Somerville did a feasibility study analyzing the potential use of building-integrated photovoltaics and related energy efficiency measures including heating and cooling design, and daylighting techniques. Through its feasibility study grant, the city analyzed the potential use of building-integrated photovoltaics and related energy efficiency measures including heating and cooling design, and daylighting techniques. The study is valuable in its analysis of renewables and energy efficiency in large-scale renovation projects."
