What is the Reznor Edge?

Step 1: The thermostat calls for heat. Gas begins to ow to the burners as the heat exchanger warms up. Fans start-

up, blowing heat to the oor.

Step 2: Gas continues to ow, and fans continue to blow heated air to the oor

until the thermostat is satised.

Step 3: Once the thermostat setting is reached, the heater shuts down.

In general, heated air is lighter than cool air, so the warm air near the oor

tends to rise causing the air temperature of the indoor space to stratify.

Step 4: Instead of heat remaining at the ceiling or escaping through the roof, a

monitor (separate from the wall mounted thermostat) on Model LDAP senses the buildup of heat at the ceiling. This monitor triggers the fans at a slower speed to destratify the air and send

FREE heat back to the oor.

Using the fan(s) in the summer can improve working conditions by alleviating stagnant air and creating a cooling effect for the occupants.

The Reznor Edge: Model LDAP, High Bay Unit Heater can save energy usage by recirculating heated air, effectively providing FREE heat where it is needed.

Heres how it works:

Summertime Benet:

www.RezSpec.com/UH

Downow air discharge, high velocity heater for high bay applicationsModel LDAP can provide more heat than a standard unit heater, up to 1,200,000 BTUH. This is the same amount of heat as a typical packaged heater or direct red unit.

Model LDAP is less expensive to install than a direct or indirect red, packaged heating system.By destratifying you lower the air temperature at the ceiling, and reduce the heat loss in your building.

Step 1: Wall mounted thermostat calls for heat. Step 2: Burners and high speed fans direct heating to the oor.

Step 3: Thermostat setting is reached, shutting off heater. Heated air naturally rises.

Step 4: Unit mounted sensor triggers the low speed fans to return heat to the oor.

Model LDAP is arranged for vertical (downow) air delivery. As George Reznor once said, We live on the oor, not on the ceiling.

Recreation Division

TO: Clint Deschene, City Manager Denis DAuteuil, Public Services Director FROM: Ravi Sharma, Recreation Operations Manager Dave Gonyea, Chair, Recreation & Special Events Advisory Board DATE: 4/15/14 SUBJECT: Ingersoll & Athletic Fields Needs Assessment Process This memo is intended to serve as documentation of the Recreation & Special Events Advisory Boards process and progress with respect to Ingersoll repurposing and the Athletic Fields Needs Assessment. January 15, 2014 On this date, the Board convened for their first meeting as a group. Part of discussion was an explanation from staff of two reports that would be presented to them for review. The first being a repurposing report on Ingersoll Arena, and the other being a city-wide Athletic Fields Needs Assessment. The purpose and scope of each report was explained to the Board and that the information could be used to form a recommendation for Council. At the conclusion of this meeting, Board Members toured Ingersoll Arena. February 12, 2014 On this date, the Board convened for their second meeting of the calendar year. The Board was updated on the status of the Ingersoll repurposing report and given expanded detail on the scope and inclusions of the report. Discussion occurred on the decommissioned chiller, and potential ideas should Ingersoll be repurposed. A turf field was discussed along with some general details about care and maintenance. It was explained to the Board that the repurposing report would include budgetary figures for repurposing only, and would be ready for their next meeting in March. March 19, 2014 This meeting was rescheduled from its original date of March 12, due to inclement weather. At this meeting, the Board was provided with the draft Ingersoll Repurposing report prepared by Cordjia Capital Projects. The repurposing options presented in the report included: basketball courts, a turf field and tennis courts. Discussion occurred on the old chiller at Ingersoll as well as, the information presented in the report. The Board made a recommendation to create a subcommittee to further investigate repurposing options. Additional discussion included two motions and votes relating to Ingersoll. The first motion was made to recommend that Ingersoll no longer be utilized as an ice arena. All votes were in favor. The second

motion made was that whatever the building be used for, that it be a revenue-producing option. All votes were all in favor. After the motions and votes, more conversation took place on the options presented in the report. April 3, 2014 Members of the Advisory Board subcommittee on Ingersoll met to discuss repurposing options. Two options were discussed which included a turf field and a rubberized floor. April 9, 2014 The Ingersoll subcommittee gave a report on their discussion about repurposing options. Two options were looked at which included: turf field and rubberized flooring. Budgetary figures were discussed along with potential user groups and staffing needs for each surface. Conversation also occurred on performing more research into the two options, and potential revenue sources. Other discussion included the sale of decommissioned chiller at Ingersoll, and methods of financing a repurposing project. It was determined that facility visitations would aid in the discussion. The Ingersoll subcommittee was tasked with performing facility visits to places similar to the potential repurposing options. May 6, 2014 Members of the Ingersoll subcommittee met and visited two facilities which included the Riverside Athletic Complex and the Portland Sports Complex. Members spoke with management of each facility to gain insight on operations, specifications, user groups, etc. May 14, 2014 Members of the Advisory Board received the draft Athletic Fields Needs Assessment as part of their agenda materials for this meeting. During the meeting, discussion primarily focused on Ingersoll repurposing and steps towards reaching a recommendation. The Ingersoll subcommittee agreed that they would convene again to develop a recommended option for repurposing. The subcommittees recommendation will then be brought back to the full group for discussion and action. Discussion also occurred on the Athletic Fields Needs Assessment report. Members inquired about what phase II of the report would entail. It was explained that phase II would include a conditions assessment along with recommendations for the facilities in terms of expansion, relocation, repair, renovation, budgetary figures, etc. Members requested to see the initial draft (June 2013) for comparison purposes. Members also inquired about the costs of the report. It was suggested to the Board that a recommendation for action could be as simple as whether or not to proceed with phase II of the assessment. During conversation, the Chair proposed to organize a supplemental meeting to work on recommendations for both Ingersoll repurposing and the Athletic Fields Needs Assessment. It was also suggested that any recommendations be made prior to the completion of the FY15 budget process. The supplemental meeting would include a day-long period of time dedicated to the reports. The Board agreed to hold this special meeting and will work on scheduling a date.
