LEER I SUSTAINABLE DESIGN I ADG has made a philosophical commitment to sustainable architecture long before LEED came Into existence, and has several team members who are LEED Accredited Professionals. Additionally, our firm has numerous projects which are LEED Certified, along with more in the certification process. Whether the city decides to pursue official certification, our team will design the building in a sustainable manner using systemsthat reduce overall building maintenance while complying with the projects budget. This is done by implementing strategies such as optimizing energy use including renewable energy generation, protecting and conserving water, specifying appropriate and green building materials, enhancing indoor environmental quality and day lighting strategies, implementing waste management techniques, and optimizing operational and maintenance practices. We recently completed a station that included over 200 solar panels. STAFF WELLNESS I Similar to LEED certification, which uses design features to make a building more environmentally friendly, WELL interiors are designed to improve wellness and health for inhabitants, Given the high -stress environment of a police department, particular attention needs to be paid to the circulation flow within the building and intuitive way finding in very large buildings. This means providing adequate climate control, low noise levels, adequate task and ambient lighting, and using materials that do not add pollutants to the interior environment and to not support microbial development. It also means providing the flexibility in furnishings and amenities such as break rooms, physical agility spaces, and semi -private outdoor areas. We have also found that carefully located break areas around major departments throughoutthe headquarters, can provide a watering hole for officers and staff to take a break and de -stress without having to walk across the building or to another level, which increases overall productivity, SECURITY 1 TECHNDLOGY I Security control is only one of the tools to provide protection of evidence and staff. Established operational procedures including "chain of custody" must also be established and followed to be successful. Security measures include the following procedures to protect and preserve the evidence: • CCTV coverage and NVR hard drive storage of all areas including the intake, storage, handling, and disposition times of evidence • Separate controlled access rooms within the evidence facility for fire arms, narcotics, and currency / valuables. For each of these spaces ADG typically provides dual -credential access such as card and pin or card and biometrics. Additionally, within the rooms we would provide motion detection, as well as infrared camera coverage • Temperature and humidity sensors / alarms to security control, as well as connection to cell phones when settings are exceeded for specific rooms or spaces • Specific ventilation needs for areas where decomposition may occur • Generator and UPS back up of key areas and equipment Every design is crafted to allow flexibility for growth and change. Specialized systems for crime lab and public safety facilities include integrated CCTV and security access control; CAT6 or 6A with Multimode and Single Mode fiber optics voice/video/data distribution; public address system; intercom; CAN coax broadband distribution and audio/visual presentation systems. The facilities are provided with redundant telecommunications services for an increase in survivability. As a support function, the facility does generally have the need for a dedicated communications tower adjacentto the facility for Multiple RF radio systems. 14
