SANTA MONICA PUBL IC SAFETY FACI L ITY – LEED S I LVER
Santa Monica, CA
Type: Government, Public Safety Facility Size: 15,000 SF
This new public safety facility was the City of Santa Monica’s first major facility designed and built with the intent of minimizing its life-cycle impact on the natural environment, and thereby served as a catalyst for their sustainable city vision.

The building houses the fire department’s administrative offices, an emergency operations center, and the police department’s headquarters complete with a new jail and dispatch facilities.
The sustainable building strategy included: • Under-floor air distribution system • Daylighting controls • High-efficiency/low-density lighting • Recycled water for irrigation and toilet flushing • Air-cooled chillers • High-efficiency pulse boilers
The interior of the building features a two-story public lobby that is illuminated by a skylight and light walls that are sequenced to create a subtle transition of gradient light. Those entering through the public entrance are greeted by an impressive water feature that cascades from the upper plaza to a pool filled with aquatic plants in the lower plaza. Together, these measures achieve energy performance that exceeds Title 24 Code by 36%.

MORENO VALLEY EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTER
Moreno Valley, CA
Type: Government, Emergency Operations Center Size: 8,000 SF
The firm provided complete mechanical, electrical, and plumbing consulting engineering design services for the City of Moreno Valley’s Emergency Operations Center (EOC). The building consists of two-stories—approximately 8,000 square feet. This is an essential services building which serves the city during times of crisis and natural disasters such as earthquakes, loss of power, and civil disobedience. Thus, several measures were taken to ensure the building remains operational at all times and under all circumstances.
The entire building is served by emergency power including all heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning. If normal power is lost, the building will continue to operate smoothly in all respects.
The building HVAC is provided by a packaged rooftop—specially designed to provide complete redundancy to the building. It has two independent refrigeration systems and two independent fan systems to assure HVAC is always available. Redundant air-conditioning is also provided for the computer room. This room is made fire-proof by a special dry type chemical fire-suppression system providing protection against fire damage without risking water damage to computer equipment.
