Library CardBeckley, Bob . 2010. Sustainability Solutions No. 3: Green Design May Mean LEED Silver for the Verde Ranger Station. 1073 2T04. Missoula, MT: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Missoula Technology and Development Center.
The new Verde Ranger Station in Camp Verde, AZ, was designed with sustainability in mind. A photovoltaic system can generate up to 18 kilowatts of electricity. The station was built using ThermoBlocks, which provide as much insulation (R38) as fiberglass batts that are a foot thick. In addition, the building incorporates energy efficient lighting, low water-use toilets and faucets, and a high-efficiency condensing gas heating system. The ranger station is on track to gain LEED certification at the silver level.
