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.

UBER MB 1 & 2 – LEED PLATINUM / WELL GOLD MI SS ION BAY HEADQUARTERS

San Franc i sco , 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.

• High-performance LED lighting with an occupancy driven network-based lighting control • Fuel cells redundantly powering building network operations • Solar domestic hot water system • PV-ready electrical system • Integrated building management system, including Smart Building Technology

• Significant reduction of building energy by means of combined hydronic chill beam and underfloor air system (UFAD) • Aggressive rainwater capture and retention. • Graywater reuse • Natural ventilation for main atrium social areas, creating a pleasant, open experience for employees and visitors. • Maximize use of day lighting to optimize workspace quality.

CASE STUDY:

LUCAS MUSEUM OF NARRATIVE ART Los Angel es , 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.

• Geothermal loop • A solar energy system • Natural ventilation • Displacement system • LED lighting • Spectrally selective glazing

• Grass and native plants • Ecological ponds • EV charger • Rainwater harvesting • Energy efficient HVAC system • Hydronic bidirectional heating/cooling flooring systems

CASE STUDY:

DELTA PRODUCTS HEADQUARTERS Fremont , 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.

• Two passively conditioned, interconnected atria • Shaded facade with automated natural ventilation • Chilled sails and occupant- controlled underfloor air- distribution systems • High-performance 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-side economizing • Fuel cells redundantly powering building network operations • Solar domestic hot water system • PV-ready electrical system

We believe making the world a better place is a responsibility we all share. And being able to do our part in the way we work is one of the best ways we can give back and have a positive effect on our environment. This means, not only do we always strive to provide the most sustainable solutions for our clients, but we are also always working on new, innovative and pioneering methods to bring sustainability to the next level, staying ahead of the curve in all types of projects in all the markets we serve.

Let’s leave the world a better place than we found it.
