ALFATECH PROJECT EXPERIENCE

Delta Products Headquarters

Fremont, CA

TYPE: SIZE: ACCREDITATION:

Tenant Improvement 250,000 SF

LEED Platinum / Net Zero Energy

Project Highlights •

Delta Products desired a new headquarters highlighting sustainability and energy efficiency with primary goals to showcase Delta Products’ innovation in a state -of-the-art building blending the natural surroundings with sustainable building design. The Delta Americas Headquarters is a three-story 250,000 SF campus consisting of private offices, administrative, open workspace, conference/auditorium facilities, kitchen/dining areas, labs, office and warehouse. AlfaTech provided sustainable mechanical electrical plumbing engineering design services for this project focusing on the client’s desire to maximize natural ventilation and daylighting reduce water and energy consumption with a geothermal central plant and utilize radiant systems for primary space conditioning. AlfaTech conducted extensive CFD modeling to assist with sizing and locating windows around the building and their integration into a thermal tower ventilation strategy. The project also encompasses a photovoltaic system to balance energy consumption and achieve Net Zero Energy.

Tenant Improvement TYPE: SIZE: ACCREDITATION: LEED Gold 20,000 SF

AlfaTech provided engineering services for the expansion and alteration of an existing X3 Fab to provide for approximately 20,000 SF of contiguous, additional cleanroom area to the existing Fab within the footprint of the existing building. The project scope included upgrades and expansion of interior support facilities and exterior site utility pads and infrastructure to support the proposed Fab expansion. The new cleanroom facility design was developed with approximately 9,000 SF finished clean manufacturing space. The balance of the cleanroom addition was developed as shell area for future expansion. The performance criteria for the design of the new cleanroom were to match the existing bay and chase design with Class 1 bays, Class 1000 service chases and subfab level, for wafer geometries of 0.6 micron or larger. The existing mixed-use occupancy structure required additional occupancy area and building area separations to accommodate the additional floor area additions in order to remain in conformance with applicable Fire and Building Code requirements.
