Solar and energy conservation retrofit of Central Fire Station No. 1: a high visibility, public demonstration, training, and education program. Final technical report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5448868
This project set out to accomplish three goals in furthering the concepts of appropriate energy technology in Fort Wayne: (1) to provide a highly visible public demonstration project of an energy conservation and hybrid solar energy retrofit; (2) to conduct a hands-on training experience for members of the Fort Wayne Fire Department in energy conservation and solar energy building techniques; (3) to educate homeowners, school children, business and local government officials about appropriate energy technology applications such as a passive solar energy retrofit. This project was a very ambitious solar and energy conservation retrofit of Fire Station No. 1 owned by the City of Fort Wayne. The grant award was made in September of 1980 with the project completed by August 31, 1983. A number of modifications to the proposed construction project were made to both improve the design and expected performance as well as to abide by budget constraints. Although the project experienced significant construction delays it has been completed and is regarded as a valued enhancement to the central business district and a symbol of Fort Wayne's commitment to renewable energy development and utilization.
