Mechanical, electrical, plumbing engineering and sustainable design for a mixed-use development. The project includes 67 for-sale residential units comprising 62,000 SF, a 26,000 SF sub-grade parking garage and ground floor commercial space. The development encompasses a total of four buildings with units ranging in size from 500 SF studios to three-story townhouses. In addition, the development includes two plazas, a common courtyard for use by residents, and extension to the Frog Park Walk.

717 Market Street is a mixed use and retail building conversion to a mixed- use high-end residential loft and retail building. The firm provided the MEP engineering design/build services for this development, which included a seven-story above grade building, garage level below grade, and a roof level rising to 101’-10.” Change of use produced 45 new affordable residential condo units and a roof level common outdoor living. Sustainable features: daylighting controls, occupancy and photocell sensors, and time-clock control system. Mechanical systems design supplemented the passive systems making them capable of meeting all space loads while minimizing visual and noise disturbances. Heating is provided to condo units by low-profile radiant panel heaters while the retail and commercial spaces are provided by water source heat pumps.

The Cooperage project is a mixed-use condominium development on a two- acre site planning to offer tenants and owners high-end home, office, and retail spaces while maintaining energy efficiency and testing sustainable technologies. AlfaTech provided sustainable concept and energy engineering design services during the early planning phase of the condominium project located at 900 Minnesota Street in San Francisco, CA. The project consists of four new buildings and two existing buildings to be renovated for a total of 207,625 SF. Large windows along the exterior provide ample daylight and views to all spaces. AlfaTech proposed that spaces be conditioned via radiant heated floors and natural ventilation only. Some of the sustainable systems studied and integrated into the Cooperage design were photovoltaics, solar water heating, daylighting, natural ventilation, green roofs, wind turbines, micro turbines, geothermal heat pumps, and rainwater collection.

Green systems include: solar hot water heating, natural ventilation, daylighting, photovoltaics, radiant systems, and wind turbines.
