Solar panel installation begins on Edmonton’s 1st net-zero energy fire station
The overall budget for this pilot project is about $18 million.
“There are enhanced systems we invest in in a capital project like this, but we get the advantage of reducing our operating costs over time,” Fitzsimmons explained.Tiffany Edgecombe, training and logistics deputy fire chief with Edmonton Fire Rescue Services , called the project exciting. “We’re thrilled for the opportunity to live and operate out of the city’s first net-zero building and it’s getting close,” Edgecombe said.The new station will also allow EFRS to increase its services levels.This part of the city was identified as an area of need back in 2017.
“What it’s allowing is for a greater coverage area, increased ability to meet our service level targets in the neighbourhood,” Edgecombe said. “We know right now this area is currently being served by the Terwillegar and Heritage Valley stations.”
