SUSTAINABILITY 02

S U S T A I N A B I L I T Y

AlfaTech follows a holistic approach to meet project expectations in all dimensions. Providing sustainable design is an achievement if it is also functional. Increasing efficiency is realistic when it is applicable. Meeting the project budget is possible when the design is constructible.

We take pride in our designs and ensure that the following principles are aligned in our approach to every project:

• Implementing sustainable solutions • Environmental awareness and reducing carbon footprint • Creating a stress-free, comfortable and healthy environment • Optimizing building performance, reducing energy and water usage • Utilization of the latest smart building technology and occupant environmental control, including temperature control, lighting control, building envelope shading, acoustic and air quality by means of enhanced filtration system At AlfaTech, we have a multidisciplinary team of experts to assess and design projects with an integrated approach. Working along with owners, architects and other stakeholders, we examine every project with a comprehensive, systematic approach to meet the client’s sustainability, energy, water and environmental quality goals. AlfaTech goes beyond engineering – our suite of energy, water and sustainability assessment services creates projects that benefit the triple bottom line – people, planet and profit. We provide expert studies in all qualitative aspects of the built environment such as day lighting, thermal comfort, advanced lighting control design, and technology integration.

We examine every project with a comprehensive systematic approach to meet the client’s sustainability, energy, water and environmental quality goals.

San F ranc isco, CA

AlfaTech is currently involved in Uber’s innovative new San Francisco headquarters which is a new 420,000 square-foot, ground up office building in the Mission Bay district. We 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 is part of the construction administration effort and served as the engineer-of- record for mechanical and electrical installations. We assisted the architectural design team with optimizing performance by assessing various utility, façade and wind studies. Life-cycle cost analysis, energy benchmarking, and computational fluid dynamics were critical tools to inform the design effort. 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 under floor air distribution system, a two-building atria system incorporating natural ventilation, and a central treatment system for collecting graywater 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.

CASE STUDY:

LUCAS MUSEUM OF NARRATIVE ART Los Ange les, CA

The Lucas Museum was conceived with the bold ambition to challenge the way our societies appreciate art museums. Inspired by its resolute mission, the engineering design blasted off with the vision to deliver a lasting, centenarian building in harmony with its site. The carbon zero design harnessed heat and cooling from the soil beneath the museum with over 700 vertical bores. This constituted the deepearth, pulsating aorta of the geothermal field. A second element of nature was introduced by way of a thermally active water pond, which increased the site’s innate cooling capacity. These features were modulated by the high-efficiency, heat recovery central plant that provided all- electric, simultaneous heating and cooling (and no gas-fired boilers). Environmental quality for prime spaces – galleries, state of the art theaters, and lobbies – were controlled with underfloor air-distribution and radiant floors. Smart controls gently nudged temperature and ventilation parameters to adjust to visitors’ comfort. The superstructure lifted off with an exterior façade that self-shaded the thermal shell, effectively reducing cooling demand. Curved onyxglass organically traced the rooftop which formed the solar PV field. At 365 kW capacity, the renewable energy source reduced an estimated 10-15% of the electricity demand and swung the carbon footprint negative. Ahead of its time, the Lucas Museum will open the doors as an eco-friendly, ‘net zero energy’- ready museum that gives back to the surrounding community.

DELTA PRODUCTS HEADQUARTERS – LEED PLATINUM F remont , CA

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.

DESIGN APPROACH

AlfaTech maintains a commitment to sustainable design on every project. Through our dedicated Sustainability Studio, we search for all new ideas to achieve sustainability and Net Zero strategies every project.

Working with the client and the architect, we quickly help to establish and benchmark the project’s sustainability goals. Once goals are established, we explore the latest system technologies available and determine the concepts that are most suited to the project application. We provide preliminary studies of these systems, further validating the application. Together, with the rest of the project team, we look at each system concept to determine the project impacts and financial benefits in the early stages of design.

MECHANICAL CONCEPTS

• Light pollution reduction - Design of exterior light fixtures with proper photometric distribution and control to eliminate light trespass. • Optimize Energy Performance - Lighting design featuring efficient LED fixtures throughout the spaces. • Renewable energy - Incorporation of renewable energy such as photovoltaic systems in a practical application. Specify only non-CFC-based HVAC system with lowest Global Warming Potential and least risk of fire hazard. (R12 and R22 not allowed). • Provide 100% air-side economizer and water-side economizer with thermal storage to increase efficiencies with lower wet-bulb temperatures. • Provide minimum ventilation for occupied space based on 0.15 cfm/sf or 15 cfm/person, whichever is larger. • Provide Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) control to be WELL-building ready • Include Commissioning Requirements in Construction Documents. Air-leakage prevention at all levels: Architectural construction details, caulking of duct systems, and proper sealants to all spaces. • Mechanical Units are selected to minimize power use and maximize capacity. Typical conditions are switched for the right conditions. •

This is a 3-story office building of approximately 90,000 SF. The project consists of offices, kitchen and dining, and various supporting spaces. AlfaTech has performed a whole building energy analysis by using IES-VE 2019, which offers dynamic thermal and energy calculations at a highly detailed level. This study analyzes the energy performance for Peter Pan Building F, comparing annual energy use and energy cost for the building with each of the HVAC system design scenarios specified in the report. This report also includes an analysis on PV systems by estimating potential electricity generation from PV systems and the total amount of parking lot area suitable for hosting PV systems for each HVAC system scenario.
