    Building Dock Heater & Ventilation Improvements

    Boeing decided to install heaters to improve working conditions, which in turn, prompted the need for ventilation solutions to meet mechanical code. P2S led the mechanical design for a new, energy-efficient Energy Recovery Ventilation unit along with appropriate supply and exhaust ductwork.

    The existing, enclosed loading dock at the Everett Materials Management (EMM) 40-03 building was an uninsulated and unheated space. The loading dock operations typically include receiving, sorting, kitting, and distribution of small and bulk parts as well as the loading and unloading of trucks. Personnel in the area are present throughout the year and cold or inclement weather affects personnel safety. Our solutions ensure that the facility could continue operating safely in whatever condition.

    40-33 767 Long Load Dock Improvements

    P2S provided mechanical engineering for new side-to-side air curtains with steam heating at the bay doors. This application substantially reduces outside air infiltration.

    The Everett 40-33 manufacturing area contains 767 wing tooling and a factory fabrication area. Due to the nature of working with long wings, “long loads” are transported in and out of this area, and slowly pass through large bay doors. Previously, during cold outdoor temperatures, the open bay doors were allowing substantial cold air infiltration, and having a detrimental affect on the tooling area. P2S studied the tooling platform for temperature fluctuations and determined the best mitigation strategy.

Sustainability. Efficiency. Inventiveness. All words that come to mind to describe the new Aztec Student Union at San Diego State. Officially named the Conrad Prebys Aztec Student Union, the replacement to the original 1968 Aztec Center is the largest LEED Platinum Student Union building in the state of California. This was accomplished in no small part due to the vision of SDSU students, who ultimately selected the structure’s hyper-efficient design. And it’s the students who are enjoying the fruits of that vision. The new Aztec Center serves as the hub of the campus, where students meet friends to eat, shop and enjoy themselves between and after classes.


Students at SDSU demanded a highly sustainable student union building. Our team delivered a range of innovative energy and water saving systems into a space delivering the utmost comfort and recreational possibilities for students. The multi-function building features a theater, ballroom, bowling alley and a variety of dining and shopping options, making it a popular student hotspot. Highly efficient air-conditioning and heating systems respond to occupant demand, improve indoor air quality and use over 40% less energy than California standards. This design safeguards occupant health and ensures comfort while reducing energy consumption. The building’s lighting system is an effective mix of natural light and efficient lighting. Daylight illuminates significant portions of the building’s interior and energy saving light fixtures and overhead lighting illuminate the space after the sun goes down. A photovoltaic (PV) system on the roof offsets a portion of building energy usage. The Aztec Center also comes outfitted with a rainwater collection system to reclaim and use water for irrigation. All utility systems within the building included sub-metering to make energy and water consumption patterns easily visible. The new student center boasts 49.8% annual energy and costs savings over the previous one.

The Crafton Hills College campus had not undergone major facility upgrades since its opening in 1972. P2S helped revive the campus by providing mechanical, electrical, plumbing and technology design services to the new Crafton Center. The new campus hub is located where the former library once stood.


P2S provided MEPT and Fire Protection Design for the new facility, which houses student services and amenities including administrative offices, versatile event and conference space, food service areas and study spaces. Scoring 80 total points from the United States Green Building Council, the building’s design achieved LEED Platinum Certification.


Originally founded in Los Angeles in 1920 as a school of theology, Vanguard University moved to its campus in Costa Mesa, California in 1950. Over the century, Vanguard has evolved into a leader in educational innovation within its denomination, preparing students for all types of ministry. The University is now preparing for the next 100 years by ensuring generations of students have places and resources needed for academic, relational, spiritual and physical growth. P2S provided MEPT engineering design, site infrastructure, as well coordination for technology, AV and security design for the new state-of-the-art Waugh Student Center. The new building is an extension of the classroom, supporting a relational and unfettered approach to the learning environment of Vanguard.


The 35,000 GSF building replaces the existing student union and cafe, and now features a 16,000 SF cafeteria including on-site commercial kitchen facilities, a 3,000 SF fitness center and an 8,200 SF multi-purpose event space, as well as a student lounge which includes a fireplace and café.


During the schematic design phase, P2S reviewed program statements, site requirements and budgets with the design team, compiled the MEPT criteria and advised the team of the impact to the utility systems, code and space requirements. Designs were completed for the HVAC, electrical, plumbing, technology and lighting systems as well as site plans for proposed gas, electrical and telecom utility improvements, and recommended equipment location and orientation. Chilled water distribution infrastructure for connection to future developments was also designed. Sustainable design strategies were adopted to improve building performance.


During the design development phase, P2S updated and recompiled the preliminary designs as necessary and advised on space requirements and identification of major systems routing and updated site plans. P2S provided final construction documents which finalized the design and included system controls and construction details, reviewed cost estimates, implemented value engineering, constructability design revisions, and City plan checks. Additionally, our team provided construction support and close-out documents. The project was completed in early 2020.

CSULA’s LEED Gold Building 12 was once the home of the University’s Physical Sciences Department. The 9-story building was built in 1972 and was partially in use at the ground floor and basement levels. Following the Physical Sciences Department's transition to a new complex, the initial plans to demolish the building were changed after the University found that the interior of the building could be renovated. The project team saw an opportunity to put the mid-century concrete building to work by consolidating multiple services into a single, state-of-the art building. Retaining the building’s structure, the interior renovation and replacement of the existing building systems make for an improved on-campus experience for the CSULA community.


Certified as LEED Gold in November 2022, the building includes, lecture halls, conference rooms, workrooms, lounge/study areas, multi-purpose outdoor tables and open offices. In addition to the Administration and Student Life programs, it provides spaces for the Academic Affairs, Finance, University Advancement and President’s Office divisions. Floors one to four house the student ecosystem, while floors five to eight house the administrative services.

P2S provided MEPT engineering as well as AV and security systems for the building renovation. All of the building's existing interior partitions, finishes and equipment were demolished for a complete interior redesign. Seismic, fire/life safety and building systems replacements exceed current Title 24 standards, giving CSULA an efficient and comfortable space for its new occupants. P2S was responsible for MEPT schematic design, design development, construction documents, plan check approval, bidding and construction support services and project close-out.

The new Student Success Center (SSC) at UC Riverside (UCR) is a 3-story, 62,000 GSF building comprised of general assignment classrooms for modern pedagogies and technology, multi-purpose student life spaces, and dining services. The building is intended to serve as a new beacon on the campus to support student and organizational success through active learning, collaboration, and community building. The project was intended to not only address UCR’s continued student growth and corollary shortfall of instruction space, but to do so in a manner that upholds UCR’s academic mission with an emphasis on reinforcing student success. This project was certified LEED Gold on July 28, 2022.


From a sustainability standpoint, the team coordinated the construction materials to minimize loads within the building and choose climate appropriate solutions. These collaborative efforts allowed the team to minimize the infrastructure and maximize the usable square footage within the proposed footprint. The team worked to analyze every hour of operation to right-size the equipment and provide innovative solutions, some of which had not been utilized on the campus yet. To implement these systems, the team provided examples of where these technologies had been utilized for similar building types and clients. The building also features low-emitting materials that minimize concentrations of chemical contaminants that are damaging to indoor air quality, human health, productivity, and the environment.


Advanced energy modeling techniques were performed to evaluate the impacts of various energy conservation measures (ECMs). The project team evaluated the energy use intensity (EUI) impacts of multiple design strategies and integrated them with cost estimating from the contractor to understand the total benefits of the ECMs. In a number of cases, the team opted to move in a different direction. For those strategies that were employed, we used the following techniques:


-The project has several large lecture halls with occupancy ranging from 100-420 occupants, based on the room size. These lectures hall have high ventilation loads and raised flooring. For these spaces, we used indirect evaporative cooling and displacement ventilation to reduce the demands on compressor driven cooling. These strategies resulted in an EUI savings of approximately 4 btu/SF-year.


- For the large lecture halls, we provided four VAV zones, with the zone controls and reheat coils within the mechanical penthouse. This allowed us to eliminate any service within the space or the raised floor, to minimize the maintenance impacts to the space.


- The campus had an existing steam system that is failing and unreliable. The campus also has a requirement that we cannot have combustion for hydronic heating and domestic hot water. We used a modular heat recovery chiller to generate HHW for the building and export CHW to the campus loop. This strategy had a 7-point EUI reduction compared to the steam system.


- The project utilized a heat pump water heater for domestic hot water.


These solutions would not have been possible without collaboration of the building layout, envelope construction, shading, etc. to minimize the loads seen by the mechanical system. The contractor supported this collaboration by providing valuable input into the cost impacts of the strategies being proposed.
