Zusammenfassung:The original co-op structure remains the primary retail outlet for the co-op, while the addition added a small amount of retail space, but primarily functions as food production, storage and office space. Since the co-op addition needed to accommodate both daily grocery delivery receiving and on-site food production, a waste heat capture system provides synergy between the two functions: heat from the building, including freezer/ refrigerator compressors, is recaptured and serves in-slab radiant snow melt systems in the driveway and sidewalk between streetbound semis and the building's receiving area, ensuring walking surfaces are clear of ice during the cold winter months. In the event of a multi-day power outage, the co-generation system can provide reliable emergency backup power for the co-op's large freezer and refrigeration loads, protecting the purchasing power and life-sustaining resources of its members. Reflecting the priorities and values of its member-owners, the Bozeman Community Food Co-op addition models a resilient, enduring and sustainable design approach that will keep the flexible building relevant to the community for decades, demonstrating unambiguous leadership in improving Bozeman's built environment.
