I am currently working on a Fire Station that has a total of 18 employees. However, each shift is 24 hours long and it's 6 employees per shift. Do I consider all BOH fixtures as residential and treat the 6 employees as residents? Also, more than likely, is it fair to say that 75% are male employees and 25% female due to the fact that most firemen are males? Thanks in advance!

In two fire station projects we have worked on in the past, the fixtures were not permitted to be residential. Also, the employees should be 50/50 male/female. LEED does not look at current demographics but 50 to 100 years when there may be more female fire fighters than men! Even projects now with 100% male users are not permitted to be figured as such because that can change...and rapidly!

From the logic in the Ref.Guide with 8-hours day per FTE I think you would have 6 employees counting as 18 FTE.
