- Bozeman Fire Station 2, construction completed in August of 2024, was built to optimize systems to maximize energy efficiency and is designed with the capability to transition primarily to electric power. This includes the EV readiness for future installations of chargers for electric fire trucks and public charging. The building includes a 53 kW Photovoltaic array, VRF heat pumps, heat pump water heaters, SolarWalls, heat recovery ventilator, a high-performance envelope, and drought tolerant landscaping.
