Hi Nadia, Thank you for the information. It appears that parapet will provide enough screening so that this rooftop equipment will be adequately screened from the street.

As you can see, all the equipment has grayish color and non-reflective finish that helps it blend with the color of wall panels,that is similar in hue and saturation. To the question of roof color that has been touched in our phone conversation-it is white, as on the neighboring buildings, but due to the location on site,the roof of this building (3315 Seaway Blvd) is not visible from pedestrian/ vehicular level from any point along the roads(Seaway and 36th Ave) or from property lines and adjacent properties at a reasonable distance. Therefore, it deems appropriate to have the equipment color close to wall finish color and not the roof. All equipment is factory finished light gray color, except for stainless steel vent hoods that could receive durable exterior coating of color similar to building walls, if required.As we spoke,the biggest piece of equipment is 5'3" high DOAS unit on 8" min. curb,which shown on thesightlines diagram along with 10'stacks of 12" to 18" dia. and located on various spots on the roof. Interior improvements for building B is a work in progress. Further experimental setup in other building areas may eventually require more rooftop equipment of the similar nature. Having multiple screen enclosures will further reduce the roof carrying capacity,which is already close to its limits, and eventually may hinder the research areas, requiring additional HVAC equipment. In addition to cut sheets, please find attached roof plan showing equipment submitted for different phases of TerraPower project,exterior photos showing building'scolor palette as compared to the equipment color and amended sightline sketch. As you noted,the HVAC equipment on adjacent building visually integrates w/backgrounds and thus does not need screening.With this precedent, and per our phone conversation,we believe that building 3315 roof equipment,which is only partially visible (please refer to the enclosed sightlines diagram), as compared to the adjacent building,will blend with the surroundings/building enclosure color allowing it not to be an accidental focal point within this industrial environment. 3`�
