The Public Safety Training Academy was constructed in 2011 and it has been serving as the training school for
Austin Police Department, Austin Fire Department, and Austin/Travis County Emergency Medical Services. This
project is an interior renovation to approximately 6,607sf of Building I. The portion of the building to be
renovated consists of the existing building’s open office space to provide functional private offices and meeting
rooms for APD’s Police Technology Unit. Additionally, the work included a full renovation of the break Room,
classrooms, restrooms and locker rooms used by the APD cadet training academy.
Occupant comfort and energy improvements included a new zoned HVAC system and thermal insulation applied
at the roof level (previously uninsulated). Low-VOC finish materials and denim sound batts help indoor air quality
and acoustics in the offices. Upgrades were also made to the life safety system, and the interior of the building
was brought into TAS 2012 accessibility compliance. Site improvements included accessible sidewalks and
replacement of the building’s deteriorated wastewater line.
The project is performing outstandingly in energy saving and water use reduction. It has achieved a 49 percent of
lighting power reduction by implementing occupancy sensors and adapting LED lighting, along with a 40 percent
of indoor water use reduction by applying efficient water fixtures. The project has established a Green Cleaning
Policy to purchase cleaning products and equipment that meet sustainable standards and reduce contaminants
to occupants.

Potable water is a valuable resource that can be
significantly reduced in the design phase of a building
Reducing portable water also reduces energy
used to treat water supply and in domestic water
heating.
Reducing water consumption saves energy
because less water needs to be treated and
pumped to end users
High-efficiency water fixtures allow more water flow
with less energy use and provides a sustainable
alternative to conventional systems
