MANA GEMENT • An outsized roof for increased building shading and covered outdoor workspace; • Rainwater capture, filtering and reuse for humidification, toilet flushing, wash down and irrigation. The roof is capable of collecting enough rainwater to make the facility net-zero for water; • Maximized insulation thickness for improved temperature control; • Process wastewater used for irrigation; • Natural ventilation and nighttime cool- ing using the same equipment being installed for CO2 • High clerestory translucent pan- els provide enough natural light in the tasting room, fermentation and barrel-storage rooms to work during daylight hours without turning on artificial lights; • Using available rock from the campus for retaining walls and gabion baskets. In addition, we are planning for a photovoltaic array to produce electricity. We determined that the panels also could serve as shading devices for parked cars and create a net-zero facility for electricity. The overall design of the winery itself becomes a teaching model of sustainability for the wine industry. evacuation, in reverse; Based on similar models in other states, the Verde Valley wine industry will continue to grow and thrive through collaboration. Mechanical systems The mechanical HVAC systems consist of: • Three heating and cooling fan coils for the two barrel rooms and the tank room; • One air-handling unit for the tasting room; • Heating and cooling water provided from the central plant; • CO2 evacuation system can be run in reverse to provide night cooling for the fermentation rooms when natural con- vection is not possible due to tempera- ture conditions. The plumbing systems consist of: • Restrooms, custodial room, wash sink and glass-washer for tasting room; • Treatment system for captured rainwa- ter for non-potable uses like toilet flush- ing and equipment wash down; • Heat exchangers to provide domestic and process hot water utilizing the heat- ing water from the central plant; • Four hose stations providing wash- down water for grape processing.

It is designed around the 16 soon-to-be-planted varietals and the desire to ferment in small bins. White wines make up approximately one-third of the total production and will spend their entire time before bottling in stainless steel tanks. We have included two different sized variable-capacity jacketed tanks for this purpose. We have two additional stainless steel tanks that will be used for larger lots of red wines and a 2,500-gallon tank that will be used for blending, holding and bottling. The balance of the red wines will be fermented in half-ton MacroBins, the same size as is used for harvesting grapes in most vineyards. Red wines will be aged in oak barrels. The balance of the list follows the stated goal to use the same equipment as is used WINESANDVINESBUYERSGUIDE.COM
