To us, resiliency means an ability to quickly adapt to changes. The most obvious challenges are due to the changing climate with higher temperatures, sea level rise, flooding, drought, and wildfires. Risk and challenges from non-climate-related natural disasters, such as earthquakes and solar flares, and anthropogenic actions like terrorism and cyberterrorism, also call for resilient design. Resilience for businesses and organizations means maintaining continuity of operations in the face of stress and disturbance. Resilience for buildings it means an ability to respond to natural and manmade disasters by providing potable water, sanitation, livable conditions, energy, lighting, safe air, and occupant health. We help our clients assess and quantify risks to their build assets, and implement measures to mitigate them. We provide technical and strategic recommendations for facility design, system specifications, methodologies and processes, and business continuity.

Home / Landmarks 428 GREENWICH STREET, MANHATTAN ARCHITECT . PROJECT SIZE . About 5,500 SF PROJECT COST . $2.5 million SCOPE . Full MEP/FP design Go Go Full gut renovation of a landmarked townhouse located in the historic Tribeca North District. This 5-story, nineteen-foot-wide store and loft building was designed in 1883 by Thomas R. Jackson, an architect who worked extensively in the Tribeca area, for soap manufacturer James Pyle. The utilitarian Romanesque Revival design features red brick façade with rock-faced granite elements, corbelled brick cornice and cast-iron piers. Presently the building houses a Tokyo-style “Edo-mae” Sushi restaurant, which was awarded a single Michelin star in 2014. The upper floors of the building are being converted to a single family residence. Altera Engineering carried upgrades to power, water, sewer utility connections. Altera Engineering worked closely with architects to seal and insulate the original walls in order to minimize the occupants’ dependence on HVAC for comfort. Our engineers worked carefully integrated central heating and cooling systems above the ceilings and behind walls. The building is cooled and heated by a variable-refrigerant-volume system without the use of fossil fuels.

Home / Healthcare ST JOHN'S EPISCOPAL HOSPITAL (SJEH) ARCHITECT . SBLM PROJECT SIZE . 38,000 SF PROJECT COST . SCOPE . Design review, HVAC, sprinkler, plumbing and electrical power design and construction administration Teaching Center at St John's Episcopal Hospital Altera Engineering has been retained to take over design and construction administration of a 4-storey 38,000 SF teaching center on the campus of St. John's Episcopalian Hospital in Far Rockaway, Queens. St. John’s Episcopal Hospital is the only hospital providing emergency and ambulatory care to the densely populated, culturally and economically diverse, and medically underserved populations of the Rockaways and Five Towns in southern Queens County and southwestern Nassau County, New York. The 257-bed facility provides people of all faiths with comprehensive preventive, diagnostic, treatment and rehabilitative services, regardless of ability to pay. The new teaching center was conceived as an expansion facility to relieve congestion and provide new state-of-the-art training and teaching areas to support residency programs. The center comprises of exam rooms, lecture halls, simulation rooms, offices and classrooms. Two floors are designed to be fully compliant with New York State Health Law Article 28. The basement floor will be a new home to the hospital's IT department including its data center. In addition, the new facility is conceived to serve an emergency community shelter. Altera Engineering team began the process with a comprehensive design review of all building systems designed by legacy engineer. In the course of the design review our team has found numerous opportunities for optimization of incoming services, sprinkler, mechanical and electrical systems, resulting in estimated $250,000 in construction cost savings to the project as well as savings in operating expenses.

Home / Landmarks 712 BROADWAY ARCHITECT . PROJECT SIZE . PROJECT COST . SCOPE . MEP engineering design and approval services Go Go 712 Broadway is an 8-story landmarked building located in NoHo (North of Houston) historic district. The iron frame, granite and terra-cotta building was constructed as a warehouse in 1893 for the Scholle Brothers. The commercial building designed by Alfred Zucker replaced an 1803 3-story Federal-style mansion, which the Scholle Brothers bought for $88,000 in 1890. NoHo saw its first development by the first decade of the 19th century when John Jacob Astor acquired a large tract of land between Great Jones Street and Art Street (now Astor Place). From 1820 to 1840 the area developed as a fashionable residential district lined with lavish Federal and Greek Revival style residences. New York University was founded in 1831 in nearby Washington Square. Altera Engineering provided MEP engineering design and approval services for a loft apartment, working closely with architects and owners to integrate state-of-the-art mechanical systems into the existing historic features of the apartments.

Home / Landmarks EAST 10 STREET, MANHATTAN TOWNHOUSES ARCHITECT . Phil Toscano (architect of record) Beringer Architects (interior) PROJECT SIZE . Each townhouse is about 5,500 SF PROJECT COST . $5 million SCOPE . Full MEP/FP design Go Go Full gut renovation of two landmarked townhouses near historic Stuyvesant Street in Manhattan in St. Mark’s historic district. According to Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC), 106 and 110 are two of three identical houses were built in 1867 by an Irish-American builder, James Mulry, at an estimated cost of $6,000. The three buildings were erected on the lots that Mr. Mulry leased from Hamilton Fish- the 16th Governor of New York State and the Secretary of State under Ulysses Grant. The buildings were designed in a late version of the Italianate style by D. & J. Jardine Architects. The segmental-arched doorways have stone cornico-slabs supported on vertical console brackets which, in turn, are carried on paneled pilasters. They are four stories high, above a basement, and all retain their stoops. They are all three surmounted by individual bracketed cornices which are aligned at the same level. The stone basement wall is carried up to sill height at the first floor with recessed stone panels under each window. Altera Engineering carried upgrades to power, water, sewer utility connections. Our engineers worked hand-in-hand with the interior architects to thoughtfully integrate central heating and cooling systems into the buildings.

Home / Landmarks 133 EAST 91ST STREET TOWNHOUSE, NEW YORK ARCHITECT . Ben Fuqua PROJECT SIZE . About 4,500 SF PROJECT COST . $ 5 million SCOPE . Full MEP/FP design and construction administration services Go Go A full gut renovation and conversion of a multifamily building into a single family townhouse. 133 East 91st Street is one of six identical Queen Anne rowhouses completed in 1896 for a local developer John Weber. The building retains its original façade of red brick and brownstone along with a raised stoop and paved entry court, and a 20-ft rear garden. Altera Engineering worked hand in hand with the architect to seamlessly integrate all new heating/cooling and other building infrastructure into 17.5-foot wide existing shell. Altera Engineering consulted the owner on high performance building strategies, such as passive heating and cooling, insulation and envelope air-tightness, highly efficient domestic water heating and continuous ventilation with energy recovery. With the exception of domestic water heating, the building does not use natural gas or any other fuel for heating, and is cooled and heated with a variable-refrigerant flow system. Highly insulated envelope, and not relying on gas for heating are expected to save 20 metric tons of Carbon Dioxide emissions on an annual basis.
