The project consisted of three towers, six-levels each, over 300 living units, with a complete podium for dining, and a lower level for mechanical, loading dock, shop, maintenance, building staff offices, meeting rooms and shower-toilet facilities. Some major design features include natural ventilation in all living units on Level 2 through 6, as well as all Demand-Controlled Ventilation (DCV) hoods on dining and restaurant Level 1 .

Design-Build Institute of America - 2017-Project Of The Year Award

Northern Arizona University, McKay Village

Flagstaff, AZ

TYPE: SIZE:

New Construction 8.3 Acres

Specific team members provided mechanical engineering services for the McKay Village residential housing at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, AZ. This project consists of seven 34-plex, 3-story apartment buildings for students with four unit types housing two, three or four students, residents enjoy in-unit amenities including a dishwasher and clothes washer/dryer, and its central location.

A major design feature includes in-floor radiant heat using the individual domestic water heater in each unit as the heat source for both in-floor heating and domestic water.

Costa Vista RV Resort (Phase 2)

Chula Vista, CA

SIZE:

13.86 acre site

AlfaTech is providing mechanical, electrical and plumbing engineering design services for this two-phase luxury RV resort located on a 13.86-acre site at 825 E Street in Chula Vista, CA. Resort includes 90 stalls for RV parking with private patios, picnic tables, firepits, WiFi and cable, two buildings for indoor attractions such as arcade, event room, billiards room and on-site cantina, and fitness center with onsite laundry and general store, one below ground pool, seven cabanas, two spas and a pool equipment building, splash pad, playground and a sports complex with basketball and pickleball courts along with nine vehicle parking stalls – 5 standard, 2 accessible and 2 EV.

This project was designed recognizing the adjacent seasonal wetland and the native bird species living there.

The Weingart Willows

Los Angeles, CA

TYPE:

Tenant Improvement

AlfaTech is providing mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineering design services to the former Sea Rock Hotel. The newly named Weingart Willows in Los Angeles, CA, calls for renovating the existing 53-unit, 2-building structure hotel for conversion into homeless housing. Services included converting the pool area into outdoor community spaces and dining areas, replace existing PTAC units, installing makeup air vents, replacing water heater, rerouting electricals, and reconfiguring offices.

Sweetwater Spectrum Community

Sonoma, CA

TYPE: SIZE: ACCREDIATION:

New Construction 16,500 SF

PG&E ZNE Pilot Project

The firm provided MEP engineering design services for this award-winning community which integrates autism spectrum-specific design, universal design and sustainable design strategies. The project includes four 3,250 SF 4-bedroom homes, a 2,300 SF community center with exercise/activity spaces and a teaching kitchen, large therapy pool and spas and an urban farm, orchard and greenhouse. Particular care was taken with the selection of the building materials and systems to promote healthy indoor air quality, acoustical control, and comfortable, super efficient HVAC systems. Since ceiling fans can be a negative stimulus to people on the autism spectrum, a radiant slab heating and cooling system was used with a low-velocity ventilation system. The site was designed to maximize passive solar orientation, daylight, and natural ventilation. All buildings incorporate photovoltaic solar panels and solar hot water. Other energy-saving strategies include high R-value insulation in walls and roofs; high-performance insulated windows; low- reflective “cool” roofs; solar tube skylights at interior halls; sun control where needed with overhangs, trellises, and operable exterior sunshades; high efficiency air-to-water heat pumps; energy-efficient light fixtures; Energy Star appliances; induction cook tops; and a building management system. Overall, these strategies improved energy performance by +30% better than California Title 24 energy requirements. Low-flow plumbing fixtures throughout reduce water consumption. An on-site well was drilled to supply water to all site irrigation systems, including site landscaping and the organic farm and orchards. Drought-tolerant plants minimize irrigation needs, and permeable paving and bioswales manage stormwater.

The project is a Pacific Gas & Electric Zero Net Energy Pilot Project and exceeds the 2030 Commitment designed to reduce energy use by 88% .
