Location: Boise, ID
Project Type: Fire Station
Building Area: 8,000 Sq.Ft.

 Boise Fire Station #9 has been meticulously crafted to align with the City of Boise's ambitious energy efficiency and water conservation objectives. To fulfill these goals, our mechanical systems have been precisely engineered with a deep understanding of both efficiency standards and the unique usage patterns inherent to a fire station.

The living quarters feature a cutting-edge heat recovery VRF (Variable Refrigerant Flow) system, enabling precise control of individual room temperatures. This innovative system also optimizes energy usage by recovering heat when some rooms require heating while others are in cooling mode. Furthermore, a separate Dedicated Outside Air System (DOAS) ensures efficient ventilation, operating independently from the VRF system. This strategic separation allows the VRF system to deactivate when space temperatures are satisfied, conserving fan energy when heating or cooling is unnecessary.

In the Apparatus bay, where trucks and equipment are housed, radiant tube heaters and exhaust fans provide optimal heating and ventilation. Radiant tubes deliver heat directly to occupants rather than warming the air, resulting in reduced energy consumption compared to traditional unit heaters.

Additionally, our commitment to water conservation is evident through the selection of low-flow fixtures throughout the facility, aligning seamlessly with the city's water-saving initiatives.
