MASHPEE LIBRARY COMMISSION <br /> MINUTES <br /> MONDAY, JULY 9 , 1990 <br /> PAGE THREE <br /> William Towner wondered what the legal requirements were for outside <br /> air in public buildings . <br /> A. Rockwood stated that in a public building where you have a lot of <br /> meetings , and get a lot of people, he would estimate about 10% . We <br /> would get pretty much close to that with opening and door closing and <br /> leakage through the system. <br /> W. Towner wondered if the addition of storm windows which had been dis- <br /> cussed decreased the leakage enough to make any difference. <br /> Rockwood did not think so. The only time it was felt there might be <br /> a problem was with the air conditioning system. Helene has suggested <br /> that the answer to the problem would be to open some windows . <br /> Mr. Rockwood' s opinion was that a change from electricity to gas <br /> would not benefit therm a great deal. We would still have to have <br /> the electricity for the air conditioning in the summer, and gas is <br /> increasing at the same rate as electricity - and a good percentage <br /> of our cost already is gas because the electric heating system is sup- <br /> plemented with three gas burners in the system. We plan to have cages <br /> put on the night-control thermostats . <br /> Helene stated that we were going to stay with the covers and the storm <br /> windows . There are sixteen windows that will need storm windows . She <br /> reported that she had called Capizzi Home Improvement and he had given <br /> her a quote per window, including materials and installation. What he <br /> quoted was for a Harvey Carefree Window. If we wished to pursue the <br /> project, he would come out and look at it, and discuss the installation <br /> in detail. Helene also spoke to H. Shaughnessy of Shaughnessy' s Alu- <br /> minum Window. He indicated that he would stop by to look at the job, <br /> but I have not seen him. She has no estimate from him. The ,$70 .00 <br /> per window quoted by Capizzi, would be $1120 for the 16 windows . <br /> These windows would not match what we have already used. <br /> Ondrea suggested that we make a decision after Helene had discussed <br /> the project with the other installer, and determine what it would, <br /> cost to match the windows already installed. <br /> Helene reported that the refrigerator was something else we would <br /> have to get a service person in to look at. It not only frosts up, <br /> it freezes things . if you leave your lunch in there overnight, it <br /> freezes . But if you turn it down, it goes off, so it is as low as <br /> we can set it and still operate , but it is too cold. So that's <br /> burning a lot of electricity if it' s overcooling. it was agreed that <br /> Helene should do some research on this , find out what the charge <br /> would be for a service call; what a new refrigerator whould 'cost, <br /> and then we can decide next meeting which way to pursue this . <br />
