SUSTAINABLE DESIGN REQUIRES A HOLISTIC APPROACH

SUSTAINABLE DESIGNS REQUIRE A HOLISTIC APPROACH

As our world increasingly focuses on Sustainability, the most critical part of designing a building is choosing materials and systems that are environmentally friendly and will help to conserve resources. AlfaTech focuses on the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems required to run a building. Our designers and engineers must consider the occupants’ needs while also considering the impact of the materials and systems on the environment. AlfaTech’s MEP design services aim for sustainable buildings that use less energy and water and generate less waste. We identify synergies and

The ever-increasing demand for resources is a multifaceted issue that requires comprehensive solutions. AlfaTech enables meaningful and lasting design integration through our interdisciplinary team of subject matter experts throughout the U.S. and World-Wide. We measure our success by the resource efficiency, cost savings, and ecological footprint that is delivered to each project.

We take pride in our designs and ensure that the following principles align in our approach to every project:

• Environmental impacts, carbon footprint reduction

• Greenhouse Gases and Carbon

• Imbalance between energy resource and energy use

• Interstate or local differences

• The water and energy nexus

• Waste and ecology

opportunities early in the design process to guide projects toward sustainability and resiliency.

THE VALUE OF BUILDING PERFORMANCE

When it comes to commercial buildings, sustainability is not just about being environmentally friendly. As operating expenses continue to escalate, conservation becomes a necessity rather than a priority. The technical energy savings potential equals the annual energy savings relative to “typical new” equipment. These options are characterized by their technical energy-savings potential, development status, non-energy benefits, and other factors affecting end user acceptance and ability to compete with conventional HVAC technologies. Commercial building owners can create environmentally friendly and cost-effective structures by taking advantage of these new technologies. This will benefit the environment and the bottom line in the long run.

ALFATECH’S SUSTAINABLITY STUDIO

LEED AND WELL ACCREDITATION

Our Sustainability Studio comprises a multi disciplinary team of experts who collaborate to evaluate projects with an integrated approach. Working with owners, architects, and other stakeholders, the team takes a comprehensive, systematic approach to mapping key programming targets. Once a project’s sustainability goals are established, energy, water, and air quality requirements are prioritized collaboratively. The latest system technologies are explored, and concepts suitable to project application are determined. Life cycle analysis, system simulations, and models are utilized for validation. The project team reviews the proposed system concepts to determine impacts and financial benefits at the early design stage.

LEED and WELL are two globally recognized rating systems that measure building performance across several categories. LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is a points based system that assesses a building’s energy efficiency and environmental sustainability. WELL (the WELL Building Standard) focuses on human health and well being, measuring factors such as air quality, daylight, acoustics, and thermal comfort. Although LEED has been around for longer, WELL has gained importance in recent years as more people become aware of the importance of indoor air quality and other factors that affect human health. LEED and WELL certifications can help improve building performance and create a

healthier, more sustainable environment for occupants.

TECHNICAL ENERGY SAVING POTENTIAL

DOE -Energy Consumption Characteristics of Commercial Building HVAC Systems The technical potential for energy savings is defined as the annual amount that can be saved relative to “typical new” equipm ent options. Equipment options are characterized based on their technical energy-savings potential, development status and non-energy benefits. Additionally, each one is rated for end user acceptance as well how it competes with conventional HVAC technologies in the marketplace today. (1 quad = 1 quadrillion BTU)

TECHNICAL ENERGY SAVING POTENTIAL PRIORITIZATION

The DOE developed an innovative scorecard to assign a numerical score all available technologies. The five point scale is used to evaluate each metric and determine which technologies will have the greatest impact on your business. This includes an additional maturity score (development status) that has no effect on ranking but can help you decide between options more easily when looking at all of them together!

ALFATECH Case Studies

Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, Los Angeles, CA

Location in Los Angeles, the Lucas Museum was conceived with the bold ambition to challenge how 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 coolth from the soil beneath the museum with over 700 vertical bores. This constituted the deep-earth, pulsating aorta of the geoexchange field. A thermally active water feature introduced the second element of nature, 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 – was 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 onyx glass 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 its doors as an eco- friendly, ‘net zero energy’ -ready museum that gives back more to its community than it claims.

ALFATECH Smart Buildings

SMART BUILDINGS A smart building is designed and equipped with various integrated systems and sensors to enhance its operational efficiency, sustainability, security, and occupant comfort. It combines several key components, including enterprise servers, corporate networks, building technology networks, and Building Management System (BMS) gateways. The Enterprise Server is a central, powerful computer often located in an organization's data center. It's the brain of the operation, handling data from the building's systems, hosting software for advanced analytics, and offering remote access to building information.

The Corporate Network is the internal data network of a company, linking all the computers, devices, and systems used by employees. In a smart building context, it's what connects different departments and employees to the building management systems and data. The Building Technology Network is separate from the corporate network and is purpose-built to support building systems. It links sensors, control systems, and devices responsible for managing lighting, HVAC, security, and more. It keeps these systems talking to each other in real-time to optimize building operations. The BMS Gateway (Building Management System Gateway) is the translator and bridge between the building technology network and the enterprise server or corporate network. It collects data from sensors and building systems, translates it, and then sends it to the enterprise server for analysis and control. Often, BMS gateways also host the software that oversees and manages building systems, allowing remote monitoring and control of various building functions.
