Holyoke Park is designed to be a mixed use hub located between two of the major canals in Holyoke. During plans for revitalization of the area by the city, nearby surviving paper mills have been converted to galleries, creating a distinct arts district unlike any other.

With that, in mind, the designers wanted to draw from that history tocreate a space which allows for a varietyof activities ranging from light industry to dining and leisure. Th e layout and services off ered by Holyoke Park also was chosen with the intention to reduce the amount of traveling needed to reach multiple destinations.

Solar Study

Holyoke Park buildings face the south in order to allow maximized introduction to natural lighting and heat gains. In addition to this orientation, the buildings’ heights have been adjusted so that the buildings on the southern sides are lowest in height while the buildings on the north are the highest in height; therefore providing all buildings with maximized sun exposure

and minimized shading.

The roofs of Holyoke Park will consist of 4 refl ective roofs and 2 green roofs. Th is has an overall positive impact on reducing the heat island eff ect, increase the R value, and

in addition the extensive green roofs are a method of storm water management and collec-tions, water that will be fi ltered and used for irrigation of the land.

Th e two extensive green roofs will be accessible, one for entertainment, and the other for gar-dening and enlightenment.

Holyoke Park has two separate buildings, divided into separate occupancies.

Th e spaces are organized in a way such that there is a clean fl ow between all spaces. Th e exterior land-

scape provides an access from the main street to the back of the lot and otherwise, and all building lead

towards each other.

Adding on to the open concept, interior walls that obstruct interior spaces and exterior walls will be

see-through in order to allow in natural light.

Th is allows collaboration for the employees of the buildings, and the interaction between the various

visitors and passersby.

The results in this document introduce the idea that Holyoke Park could potentially run off solely sustainable and renewable energy since over 75% of the energy demands may be produced on site using solar panels, while the other 25% may be bought from Holyoke Gas & Electric, sourced from the local micro hydro power

generation.

Energy Calculations Summary

TechnicalHolyoke Park will be constructed as a robust steel structure with the following technical features:

Building walls:Th e exterior walls of the building will make use of sandwich metal panels, fi lled with Expanded Polystyrene with an R Value of around 4.2 per inch. Overall thickness = 10’Overall R Value = 49 (minimum)

Building glazing:Th e windows of the building will be triple pane – low e coating – low U value, allowing better control of heat gain and loss depending on the season.

The atrium will make use of double skin curtain wall; a method used to increase the insolation value of the glazing by adding an additional air barrier in between. Th is allows an increase in the percentage of glazing without compromising occupant comfort.Flow and Circulation
