AlfaTech provided design/bid/build style mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) engineering, lighting design, and technology (low voltage, security, audio/visual) services, throughout the entire project. AlfaTech assisted the architectural design team with optimizing performance by assessing various utility, façade, and wind studies. The project is designed as an innovative, ultra-high performance building that focuses on an occupant-centric workplace and includes an elaborate IT infrastructure, a façade that responds to programmatic needs, an underfloor air distribution system, a two-building atria system incorporating natural ventilation, and a central treatment system for collecting gray water and rainwater. The interactions between the occupants, the buildings, and the ambient were at the heart of the architectural and engineering systems; targeting lower environmental metrics of 1,100,000 kWh in reduced energy use and 2,100,000 gallons in reduced water use. The building's key' eco-friendly features include: • LED lighting with an occupancy driven network-based lighting control • Graywater reuse and rainwater catchment systems • Integrated building automation, controls, and management platforms • Full air-side and water-sidTwo passively conditioned, interconnected atria • Shaded facade with automated natural ventilation • Chilled sails and occupant-controlled underfloor air distribution systems • High-performance e economizing • Fuel cells redundantly powering building network operations • Urban garden • Solar domestic hot water system • PV-ready electrical system
