Re: Woodring, Kozuch &Jarrett Residence, Northampton, MA
NECE Project No. 18-002 T-1
Dear Mr. Giordano,
At your request New England Construction Engineering, PLC (NECE) has reviewed the
information that Spartan Solar provided regarding proposed rooftop solar hot water collectors
on the roof of 6 &8 High Street in Northampton, MA. The purpose of this review was to provide
an opinion as the structure's ability to support 2 proposed rooftop mounted solar hot water
collectors.
The roof currently supports a recently installed photovoltaic (PV) array on the east side of the
south facing side roof. You are proposing to erect 2 thermal solar collectors west of the PV array
on the south facing side of the roof.
The house is a three-story residence with partially finished attic and gable roof. You have
confirmed that the roof framing under your proposed solar collectors is similar to that under
the new PV array. The main part of the house, where you are proposing to install the solar
collectors, measures 23'x36'. The roof pitch is 45'and is symmetric about the peak.The roof is
supported by 2x5 rafters at 28" O.C. These rafters span almost 11'-6". Knee walls 58"from the
exterior walls, provide some intermediate support. The rafters have collar ties 38" below the
peak.These collar ties serve as ceilingjoists for the horizontal portion of the attic ceiling.The
roof deck consists of solid board sheathing.The roof has new standing seam metal roofing.
Conclusion:
Based on the information that you provided, we conclude that the roof will adequately support
the additional dead load of the solar collectors and design snow load. We base this opinion on
the following assumptions. We assume that, owing to their smooth surface, the collectors will
shed snow as readily as the existing standing seam metal roof. We assume that Solar collectors
will be installed parallel to the roof, eliminating any additional wind load. The ground snow load
New England Construction Engineering, PLC Spartan Solar—6 &8 High Street Residence
Jonathan Rugg, P.E. Northampton, MA
Page 2 of 2
(Pg) for Northampton is 40psf. According to information that you have provided,the proposed
solar collectors weigh approximately 3.0 psf.
In summary,the roof will adequately support the design snow load and the additional dead load
of the proposed roof mounted solar collectors.
Thank you for the opportunity to assist with this project. If we can be of further assistance,
please contact Jonathan Rugg at NECE.
