Kaiser Permanente Baldwin Park Medical Center is set to undertake an estimated $300 million infrastructure upgrade project. As part of the Design-Assist team, we’re providing our mechanical and plumbing design expertise for this replace and rebuild effort at the hospital, central utility plant building, and medical office building. Our team is working with the project general contractor and subcontractors in a “big room” setting, regularly coordinating with Kaiser’s Facilities Strategy, Planning and Design (FSP&D) Department and the project team to ensure design functions as intended.

We’re replacing existing air handling units, chillers, heat exchangers, cooling towers, humidifiers, fan coil units, exhaust fans, and controls. In the first phase, we are providing design options which will include sustainable design for each system to lower the building Energy Use Intensity (EUI) from 230 to 160. The strategies will include heat recover chiller design to save heat energy on the domestic hot water system, convert constant air volume distribution to variable air volume system, design air handlers with separate cold and hot decks to optimize economizer mode to name just a few of our improvements. The new Direct Digital Control (DDC) system will optimize the building’s energy use and will automate the entire HVAC and plumbing systems to minimize maintenance. This project received a CEC grant for its sustainable design to de-carbonize a large healthcare facility.
