chose a site in a recovering area of Lansing that was close to facilities and close to public transportation. https://redcedarfriends.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/worshiproom.jpgWorshipRoomWe installed no carpet. Most carpets are made of petroleum products, and need frequent energy-intensive cleaning care. They add to landfills and use a lot of cleaning chemicals.https://redcedarfriends.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/worship_ceiling.jpgworship_ceilinghttps://redcedarfriends.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/tiledentry.jpgTiledEntryPaints were bought from a local company, O’Leary Paints. Paints, caulks and and finishes meet LEEDs standards with low levels of volatile organic compounds (VOC’s) emitted during painting and curing.https://redcedarfriends.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/slab.jpgslabThe building was built on a cement slab. Cement is a locally produced material. Had we dug a basement, the slightly contaminated soil would have needed to be trucked to a landfill. https://redcedarfriends.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/parking-lot.jpgparking lotWe rented parking spots from a neighboring business in order to build as small a parking lot as possible, keeping more of the land green and growing. The small parking lot we constructed used porous paving stones to allow water to filter into the ground, avoiding run-off. https://redcedarfriends.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/parking-lot-north-planting.jpgparking lot north plantingThings we weren't able to do: Green roof: The roof over the kitchen area is a flat roof. It was initially designed to support roof-top plantings. A metal roof on the rest of the building: Metal roofs last many times longer than asphalt shingles and the materials are more easily recyclable at this time. Gardens: Because of the slightly contaminated soil, if we plant gardens, we need to either dig out and replace large amounts of soil or build raised beds with clean planting soil. We regret not having the ability to let the kids dig in the soil and/or to grow fruit trees or otherwise use the site for raising food. Solar, wind power or thermal heating and cooling: We buy “green” power from the Lansing Board of Water and Light, but do not have alternative electricity generation on site. Floor grates: Set into recessed areas in the concrete at the entry doors, floor grates would have allowed grit to fall into a space below the floor level, keeping our shoes cleaner, and reducing wear on the floors. Basement: Having a lower level would have given us twice the interior space. But, the cost of removing contaminated soil to a proper containment facility was prohibitive. Elevators to a basement level were out of our budget as well.https://redcedarfriends.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/painting.jpgPaintinghttps://redcedarfriends.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/occupancy-no_smoking-signs.jpgoccupancy-no_smoking signsThere is no smoking on the property. Green cleaning products are used in maintenance of the building. We have minimal devices on site to draw electricity. We have no computers, printers, fax machines, televisions or sound systems.https://redcedarfriends.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/library.jpgLibraryWindows crank open to allow air circulation in the summer. Wind turbines on the roof draw hot air from the building and stimulate natural ventilation. No air conditioner was installed. The building should maintain its temperature in the summer heat. Users will be surveyed after occupancy to make sure their comfort is maintained.2017-05-17T20:52:48+00:00weekly0.6https://redcedarfriends.org/about-us/history-of-our-meeting/2017-04-22T21:10:24+00:00weekly0.6https://redcedarfriends.org/meeting-house/https://redcedarfriends.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/meeting-house-angle.jpgmeeting-house-angle2017-03-02T19:17:52+00:00weekly0.6https://redcedarfriends.org/join-us-for-worship/deepening-our-experience/our-library/reading-about-quakerism/https://redcedarfriends.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/library250.jpglibrary2502017-02-27T00:37:32+00:00weekly0.6https://redcedarfriends.org/about-us/a-listening-spirituality/https://redcedarfriends.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/library1-240x180.jpgLibrary1-240x1802017-02-18T04:03:17+00:00weekly0.6https://redcedarfriends.org/community/getting-to-know-one-another/potluck/https://redcedarfriends.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/meal.jpgmeal2017-02-18T02:26:17+00:00weekly0.6https://redcedarfriends.org/community/working-together/meeting-for-business/2012-07-23T20:59:39+00:00weekly0.6https://redcedarfriends.orgdaily1.02026-02-19T23:38:53+00:00
