ENERGY ANALYSIS
1st Energy Anlysis data showing energy use, cost, and envelope and shading. kBTU here is at 252 where as the recommended is 62 kBTU by 2030
2nd Energy Anlysis data showing altered energy use, cost, and envelope and shading.
For this ďŹ rst attempt I compared both the original and the adjusted clone. I managed to increase the efďŹ cincy of the building by changing the shading, materials, and HVAC, which increased the saving on energy

View looking south from the bottom of the mountain. You see Sierra Estrella Mountin Range and can see the 202 freeway. The Sierra Estrella Mountiain range falls in the Gila River Indian Reservation. These mountiain ranges are known to be sacred to the Akimel O’odham and the Kwevkepaya band of Yavapai.

View looking south west from the middle of the site. This view might change slightly due to the neighboring lot can be purchased and built on, however you will still be able to see the mountains sue to the fact that most of the area is part of the state park.
View looking south from the middle of the site. This view looks towards a few lots on the other side of the road that will likety become a housing development. The view of the Sierra Estrells Mountains might become scewed in the future.

In a 2 Mile radius, Fire Station 62 will service about 40% South Mountain. 25% Residential, 15% Farm Land, 15% Vacant Land, 5% Parks. Fire Station 62 will have access to its major destinations outside its 2 mile radius.

SUN SHADING CHART
Site 62 has extreme temperatures throughout the summer, so it is imperative to design for heat excessive temperatures Illumination Range
During the Winter months shading happens naturally. However for the rest of the year, shading is needed, it is a desert afterall.
The sun is valuable on Site 62, providing the oppurtunity for solar power. Promoting perhaps renewable energy in a city that lacks such initiatives
Not so much wind on Site 62, so don’t rely as potential power source, during monsoon season expect wind but only gust that last for a couple of minutes.

E.T.C Site is very close to homes and future development on the south side. Very little traffic there early in the day. Would be a great spot for tactical rescue training due to the mountains. Paving strategies like permeable concrete can be used on the site.
Discern Pedestrian Routes Hikers, Cyclist, Equestrians, Runners Public’s view is positive of the trail system with strong connection to the community The trail system can be co.nfusing to non-locals due to directions which are not clear. People who are not from Arizona may per cieve it as no park due to the fact their is no visitor’s center. Visitors of the site would like a section which they can walk there dogs freely. Need to be a separate area for mountain bikers.
Trails Moderately difficult to compare to other trails. More sociable compared to the other trails with hikers. This trail is the most preserved.
Water Runoff Could have heavy erosions that can affect trail areas. Would require regular maintain for the trails Heavy rain could lead to runoff into the streets Need for ditches
Shade Plants provide cooling for the area from the sun for many animals, but not large enough for humans.

MICRO CLIMATE HYDROLOGY Southwest South Mountain Watershed: This watershed is nearly 100% desert mountain and hill slope runoff. The drainage area is slightly more than four square miles in area. The area extends to the east and is adjacent to the uppermost portions of the Maricopa Drain Watershed. The flow is generally to the west following San Juan Road in the South Mountain Park. The westernmost edge is developed, mostly with large lots and desert/natural landscape. Runoff from area sub-basins does not combine, but is instead conveyed out of the area across the Reservation boundary through sheet flow or in small channels. The looks like an alluvial fan which is a triangular-shaped deposits that is loose, unconsolidated soil or sediment that has been eroded, reshaped by water in some form, and redeposited in a non-marine setting. Alluvium is typically made up of a variety of materials, including fine particles of silt and clay and larger particles of sand and gravel.
Monsoon Season Rainfall: June (15th-30th) - 0.02 inches July - 1.05 inches Auguest - 1.00 inches Site
September - 0.64 inches Total - 2.71 inches over 3.5 months
