Salt Lake City opened Fire Station 3 today. It’s a functional, beautiful and sustainable building which embodies the City’s commitment to reducing our impact on the environment and setting a strong community example. Net Zero construction is not only achievable, it’s absolutely critical given the urgency and speed with which we must reduce carbon emissions, as described in the latest #IPCCReport . . . By Executive Order, all new @slcgov municipal construction over 10,000 sq. feet must be evaluated for Net Zero energy, meaning the building produces as much energy as it consumes. In FS 3, this is achieved with highly energy efficient construction, a 110 kW rooftop solar array, and a geothermal heating and cooling system. There are also waste reduction, water conservation, and many other features to celebrate. . . Congratulations to the Salt Lake City Fire Department and the #sugarhouse neighborhood for this amazing new community asset! . . #livegreen #netzero #saltlakecity #slc #firefighter #sustainability #climatepositiveslc #slcgreenAmid the noise of passing trains, construction equipment, and other sounds of urban development, today we were thrilled to celebrate the opening of Salt Lake City's SEVENTH community garden. Our newest garden is in the Gateway District, which is quickly becoming the densest neighborhood in Utah. Demand for open space and "room to grow" is paramount. . . The garden came to life through the collaboration of multiple city departments, including @slcmayor, @slcppl, @slccouncil, and SLC Housing & Neighborhood Development, as well as @rockymountainpower and @wasatchcommunitygardens . Creating spaces to grow food makes our community healthier, supports our local food system, and provides a gathering space for neighbors. Gardens are critical to our goals of building a #sustainable and #resilient city. Thank you to the tireless volunteers who have put in the hard work to make this urban oasis thrive! . .
