TCA Architecture Planning Inc

Nowhere are the effects of climate change felt more acutely than at a local level. Every action taken - large or small - to protect the Earth and its inhabitants is impactful; TCA plays its part by committing to sustainable design and paving the way to carbon neutrality and zero energy.

The Ann Arbor Fire Station 4 is an excellent reminder that protecting the planet is a shared responsibility. The new fire station will be the city's first carbon-neutral facility, with geothermal heating and cooling, rooftop photo-voltaic panels, solar carports, a SolarWall, on-site batteries storage system, DC fast charging for fire apparatus, and other energy-efficiency measures to support off-the-grid functionality. This project aligns with the City of Ann Arbor's A2ZERO Climate Action Plan, a community-wide goal to reach carbon neutrality by 2030.

While TCA strives to contribute to a greener future, there is still a long path forward. This , TCA takes the time to reflect on its role in local communities and the steps toward more sustainable design on a global level.

Our team had a wonderful time connecting with old friends and new ones at the 2024 Washington Fire Commissioners Associate Conference last week! We appreciate the efforts of the WFCA team, who put together a thoughtful program.

We hope to see everyone next year in Tulalip!
