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.

LUCAS MUSEUM OF NARRAT IVE ART Los Ange l 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

VETERANS ADMINI STRATION HOSPITAL – SEI SMIC RETROF IT

West Los Angeles, CA

Type: Hospital Size: 50,000 SF

This $150-million-dollar project includes seismic upgrades for eleven different buildings and a complete renovation of a 50,000-square-foot historical building. Preliminary planning included compiling FCAs (Field Condition Assessments) for existing building conditions as well as existing site conditions. To prepare the FCAs, the firm reviewed available record drawings, interviewed facility personnel and provided detailed site surveys of the existing conditions. The complete renovation of the 50,000-square-foot historical building—building 209—proved to be especially challenging. Currently, the building is heated by the original steam convectors and air-conditioning is provided for a small fraction of the building. Creative thinking and close cooperation between the architectural and engineering team was required during the design phase to accommodate a new air- conditioning and heating system for the building. Building 209 is a national prototype for the Veterans Affairs for the type of services it will provide to veterans. It is believed that two additional buildings will be converted to offer these services and use the same HVAC system. Renovations also included a new redundant chilled water plant, coordination with on-site utility infrastructure systems, new electrical power distribution, a new fire alarm system, new plumbing systems and a complete automatic fire sprinkler system throughout. The recommendations from the FCAs were implemented in the other buildings on campus. The FCAs included new fire alarm systems, new automatic fire sprinkler systems, new air-conditioning for data rooms, new lighting systems and various other upgrades.
