Re: New Town Hall Facility
Dear r~r. Versace,
As a part of our follow-up review of components to be used in the Town Hall,
we have met with a representative of the window fabricator. Oneofthe items
discussed was the operation of the windows, specifically casement (vertical
hinges, out-swinging) versus projected (horizontal hinges, in- or out-swinging)
type. Upon consideration of the considerable merits to each type, we recommend
that the operable windows, except those in the Courtroom, be changed to the
hopper (in-swinging) projected type with a fixed glass panel above:
I
II
A commercial Pf'O!8Cl8d. tubular c0n-
structed thermal WIndow. WIth a 2"
frame. -
A comrnerc:ial casement window with
tubular consll'I.lClIon. 2" deep frame.
This window configuration will have less vent perimeter with reduced air infil-
tration and therefore energy savings can be realized. Maintenance would be re-
duced due to somewhat simplified hardware and smaller screen size. Also the
clear, non-screened view area will be increased.
The window supplier has agreed, as a part of this change, to supply all windows
with thennal breaks in the framing which will mean a further energy savings and
reduced chance of condensation on interior surfaces of the metal framing.
This change will be at no additional cost to the Town and the difference in
appearance is negligible. On this basis we suggest the Town approve the change
as soon as possible so that a change order can be issued and fabrication order
placed.

Dear .. Kane:
At the regular meeting of the Town Beard held December 3rd',
1984, the Board approved the change order for the type of windows
to be installed in the new Town Hall.
The change was approved based on the fact that there will be
no additional cost to the Town and no significant change in the
appearance.
Yours very truly,
Elaine H. Snowden
Town Clerk
