Full MEP/FP design, special and progress inspections Go Go A Class A 43,000 SF ground-up commercial office building designed to accommodate a variety of uses, from film production to events spaces. Building’s envelope and mechanical systems were designed to meet NYSERDA commercial building program performance requirements of 15% better than energy code. To allow for a degree of flexibility in building uses, the project’s heating and cooling source was conceived as a water loop consisting of a 90-ton cooling tower, variable speed pumps and high efficiency condensing boilers. Each floor/space was provided with high efficiency water-source heat pumps. The building was envisioned as ‘cogen-ready’ and was designed with a single master meter to allow future behind the meter tie-in. Each floor was provided with 3-phase 400 amp power.

Design, approvals and construction administration of mechanical, plumbing, sprinkler, electrical and fire alarm systems. Go Go 2 Bushwick Avenue is a 14,000 SF ground up retail and office building being constructed on a site of a former gas station and auto repair shop. The corner site sits in a prime location of a rapidly gentrifying creative hipster mecca. The developers were interested in attracting local nascent businesses by creating affordable flexible spaces. Before commencing with design, Altera Engineering engaged with the owners and architects in the programming phase, to understand how the property will be positioned in the market and who will be the target tenants. The early-phase involvement informed the selection of suitable MEP systems. With careful system selection and sizing, the design team was able to strike a balance between considerations for the first cost, ease-of-use, flexibility and “curb” appeal to prospective tenants.

Archimaera PROJECT SIZE . 521,000 SF PROJECT COST . SCOPE . MEP systems. Iterative energy modeling helped informed the architect of curtain wall design and shading elements Go Go 38-42 12th Street, Long Island City, NY A 521,000 SF 14 - story commercial office building with 381,000 SF of Class A office space, 42,000 SF of ground floor retail and food hall and 60,000 SF of restaurant, commercial kitchen and a 700 person banquet hall. The building sits above an 83,500 Sf parking garage. The owners had laid out ambitious energy efficient goals for the project, with the US Passive House performance as a ceiling and a net zero as the floor. In addition to low energy use and superior indoor air quality, the developers also wanted to allow for flexibility to subdivide and expand. Because of its location in Queens, the owners’ business plan relied on the shift in commercial real estate from central to hub and spoke model. The developers were seeking rent premiums by attracting high tech sophisticated credit rated tenants, to whom reduced carbon footprint and high indoor air quality were must have attributes in all of their locations. ALTERA ENGINEERING worked closely with the architect to create performance benchmarks for the building, and to establish the scope of MEP systems. Iterative energy modeling helped informed the architect of curtain wall design and shading elements. MEP Systems:  Ground-source heat pumps with air to water VRF heat pumps for heat injection  No natural gas for heating or domestic hot water  Underfloor air distribution system with different supply air temperatures: perimeter and interior zones  Dedicated Outdoor Air Systems (DOAS)  Commercial kitchen exhaust  Parking garage exhaust  Stair pressurization and smoke purge systems  480/277 VAC power distribution system via bus ducts and step down transformers  500 kW emergency generator In addition to the building performance challenges, the site is located in the flood zone and all incoming services had to be elevated. ALTERA ENGINEERING worked with ConEdison to provide spaces within the building for the incoming electric service.

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.

Industry City (originally known as Bush Terminal) is a 16-building, 6 million square foot industrial complex in Sunset Park, Brooklyn that was founded in 1895 by Irving T. Bush. The twelve manufacturing buildings had been completed by 1918 and housed about 300 companies. For over eighty years, the complex served as one of the largest integrated cargo and manufacturing sites in the word. At its peak during the industrial height of the early 20th Century, nearly 25,000 workers went to work at the complex every day. Until 1974 Bush Terminal was an active port facility. Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, Bush Terminal housed the highest concentration of garment manufacturers in New York City outside of Manhattan. Today the complex is home to a wide range of tenants including 3-D printer maker Makerbot and the Brooklyn Nets. Altera Engineering was retained to provide engineering design and consulting services for Alexis Bittar’s new facility. Altera Engineering's team was brought in at an early stage of the process, during lease negotiations, to assist the architect and the client in formulating and developing a strategy that meets current and growing production needs. The project involved a full floor gut renovation. The design incorporates mechanical ventilation system for jewelry making process and robust power distribution to all production work stations.
