AlfaTech recently completed Uber’s new ground up innovative sustainable headquarters which is comprised of one 6-story structure and one 11-story structure connected by transparent bridges in the Mission Bay district of San Francisco. AlfaTech 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 was part of the construction administration effort and served as the engineer-of-record for mechanical and electrical installations. AlfaTech 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 15,000 SF, full-service kitchen was designed to serve 3,000 meals with on-site award winning chefs. Kitchen included variable flow-hoods with safe shut-down, and fresh air delivered in tandem with a pollutant control system scrubbing particles from the grease exhaust. The project was designed as an innovative, ultra-high performance building that focuses on an occupant-centric workplace and includes an elaborate IT infrastructure. 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. AlfaTech provided engineering strategies and Smart Building System Matrix outlining all systems that should be included in the Intelligent Smart Building System.
