The building was designed for energy savings with numerous occupancy sensors. It is the second facility in the City of San José that was designed and built adopting the City's new standards of Zero Net Carbon (ZNC). This new building eliminates the use of natural gas, and all heating and cooling systems as well as the water heater and stove are energy efficient electric appliances. Besides the ZNC, this facility has 82 Photovoltaic Panels, over the roof and the parking structure, generating a total of 25kW in solar power. The exterior architecture enriches the area and the red tower and four-fold apparatus bay doors signify the presence of the Fire Station to the community.
