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.
