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