Design, approvals and construction administration of mechanical, plumbing, sprinkler, electrical and fire alarm systems. The building is being designed to meet Passive House performance standards, featuring a highly efficient building envelope and low energy heating and cooling systems. Altera presented several options for heating, cooling, and domestic hot water generation. After careful consideration, the owners elected to use a variable refrigerant volume (VRV) system for the building's heating and cooling needs. However, Altera engineers faced challenges due to the mandated phase out of R410A refrigerant, which introduced regulatory uncertainty surrounding the use of VRV systems. The newer generations of VRF refrigerants, classified as A2L, are more flammable, and their use has not yet been fully codified in local building regulations. To address this challenge, the team referenced the International Building Code and leveraged the European experience with A2L refrigerants, incorporating design provisions that allow for future adaptation of these refrigerants in New York City. The resulting design incorporates a 3 pipe heat recovery variable refrigerant volume system distributed up and down the building via rated and vented shafts. For the domestic water heating, a CO2 driven heat pump system was selected. To overcome the low rate of heat recovery of the CO2 heat pump system, 7,000 gallons of hot water storage were provided.

Development in the Riverside-West End Historic District Extension I went through several phases in the years between the 1880s and 1930s. The earliest phase between roughly 1885 and 1900 saw the construction of speculatively built row houses and flats for the middle and upper classes. By the turn of the century, developers began to focus on constructing larger apartment buildings as increasing construction costs ended row house construction, and the newly opened IRT on Broadway made the Upper West Side more accessible to the city’s expanding population. Legislation such as the 1901 Tenement House Act, the 1916 zoning ordinance, and the 1929 Multiple Dwelling Law contributed to the transformation in the scale of the streetscapes of West End Avenue, Riverside Drive, and West 79th and West 86th Streets where row houses and smaller buildings were replaced by newer, larger buildings.[1] 309-311 West 86th Street was commissioned as a hotel in 1912 by Weymer Hinckley Waitt- a railroad engineer turned hotelier, whose company later built the Weylin Hotel on Madison Avenue. The 12-story 40,000 square foot building was designed by Schwartz Gross and completed in October of 1914 at a cost of $250,000. Originally known as Hotel Wayne until 1953 when it was converted into the Waldorf Nursing Home. In 1962 it became a residence club for senior citizens. Following interior alterations in 1979 the building was reconverted into apartments and became a co-op known as Stetson House. In 1984 John F Kennedy Jr. and Robert Littell moved in together into a 2-bedroom sublet at 309 West 86th Street. 309 West 86th Street is one of several Altera Engineering projects along the historic West End Avenue.

HVAC, sprinkler, plumbing and electrical power design and construction administration Go Go When an established Brooklyn based coffee company decided to consolidate its roasting and shipping under one roof, they retained Altera Engineering to help them bring their vision to reality. Founded in 2009 in a Brooklyn loft, artisanal coffee purveyor- Brooklyn Roasting Company- has consistently been ranked as top 5 coffee places in Brooklyn (Yelp), one of 10 best coffee shops on New York City (Gothamist) and best local brew of 2015 (Gothamist). BRC prides itself on sourcing locally grown, organic fair trade coffee beans. It is no surprise they decided to locally source engineering services as well. BRC came to Morozov because their previous consultant was not responsive to their needs and was too expensive. Brooklyn Navy Yard is a former US Navy shipbuilding yard spanning 300 acres on the East River in Wallabout Basin. Following its closure in the mid 60’s, the yard was re-opened in 1969 as an industrial park. Since 1989, the site has seen economic development spurred by the city’s investment. Today, more than 200 businesses operate at the yard and employ about 5,000 people. Brooklyn Roasting Company decided to take up a 16,000 SF space in the Navy Yard to consolidate its roasting operations. On most projects, clients come to their engineers with defined design criteria. In the case of BRC, the client did not know how to best program the their new facility. There were plans for an office, packing, roasting, and shipping and even performance space functions. Our engineers worked closely with the client and architect to learn BRC’s business model, ins and outs of a coffee roasting process and the client’s future plans in order to help the client define present and future performance requirements of the space. Altera Engineering was retained to provide consulting, engineering design and construction administration services for BRC’s new facility. The project involved specialty HVAC systems for coffee roasting production plant. Altera Engineering prepared documents for State Historic Preservation Office filing.
