Timeline: 2023 onwards
Fire Station 125 in Mississauga, located at Tenth Line and Aquitaine Avenue in Union Park, is designed to be a net-zero facility. This station will have advanced environmental features, including variable refrigerant air flow heat pumps for heating and cooling with in-floor hydronic heating for the apparatus bay, a network of 238 solar panels, and high-performance building envelopes with enhanced insulation and triple-glazed windows. The design is expected to serve as a model for future net-zero buildings in the city.
The station will be an entirely electric building, with the exception of a natural gas backup generator.
In the parking lot, there will be two double electric vehicle charges for four cars, and that can be expanded to add on two more in the future. As part of long-range planning, the electrical infrastructure will be in place to charge electric fire trucks should the city decide to use those types of vehicles in the future.
2024 update:
The City’s first net zero fire station, Fire Station 125, became operational in 2024.
