Innovation for Lean Budgets

摘要

The Colorado Springs (Colo.) Fire Department partnered with the Colorado College Home Energy Audits and Retrofits program, which allows students to perform building audits and assist with building modifications highlighted in the audit reports.rnBob Lund, the department's fife facilities coordinator and a member of the Colorado Springs Green Team, approached Dr. Salty Meyer and Dr. Mark Morgenstern at Colorado College about performing energy audits at some of the city's older fire stations. They established a project team to audit six of the city's 20 fire stations. The fire stations chosen for the audits range widely in age. Fire Station 5 was built in 1899 and Fire Station 16 was constructed in 1992.
