The TraPac’s Terminal at the Port of Los Angeles is located at Berth 142. The terminal was in development and required a Crane Maintenance Building to support current and future crane operations. The Port had already produced the architectural design development package and requested that architectural and engineering teams take the project through the design and construction phases including mechanical, electrical, plumbing and telecommunication engineering services. The completed building will have office and shop areas, spreader repair bays, parts room, machine shop and restrooms.
As part of the project, our team provided cooling and heating load calculations, as well as mechanical floor and roof plans. We reviewed appropriate space conditioning strategies for shop areas including ventilation, evaporative cooling and radiant heating. The project also included Title 24 calculations, site power plans, lighting floor plans, outdoor lighting, and fire alarm design. We provided power to support mechanical, plumbing and telecommunications equipment and supported water, waste and gas calculations, and plumbing floor plans. Other design elements included a fire sprinkler system, cabling system for voice and data within building and pathways and conduit infrastructure design to support the TraPac security system.
To provide enhanced fire protection and emergency services to its community, the City of Bothell replaced two existing fire stations in situ through a progressive design-build effort. The new Canyon Park Fire Station (Fire Station 45) comprises 14,000 SF in two stories and accommodates eight staff and four apparatus bays. A primary goal of the project was to ensure high-quality systems that contribute to cleanliness, protection of the environment, and overall wellness for emergency responders.
Part of this goal was accomplished by P2S’s design of sustainable HVAC systems that contribute to having excellent air quality and a low building energy use index (EUI) - the building EUI is projected to be around 38 kbtu/sf/yr compared to 68 for a baseline fire station.
The fire station facility consists of distinct zones - high exposure, moderate exposure, and safe area - to better isolate hazardous fumes and keep the living areas safe.
The high hazard area contains contaminated items and storage of chemicals and any items with potential carcinogen exposure. This area has constant exhaust to keep it at a negative pressure to the surrounding rooms.
The moderate exposure area includes the apparatus bay and unoccupied storage areas for cleaned Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). This area has general exhaust with gas detection, and source capture exhaust for the apparatus engines. The source capture systems have direct apparatus tailpipe exhaust connections that track along a rail. This maintains exhaust extraction constantly throughout the drive-in and drive-out times.
The safe area is comprised of the living/working space and offices, breakrooms, conference rooms, exercise rooms, and bunks. By maintaining positive air pressurization and high air exchange rates, the personnel areas are protected. Ventilation is provided with a high efficiency, energy recovery ventilator and gas detection is present in the sleeping quarters.
As the mechanical engineer and plumbing designer, P2S participated heavily as part of the team with the City, general contractor, architect, and mechanical contractor. Our design process included weekly ‘Big Room’ type meetings for coordination and collaboration. During this period, we kept a transparent open log of design coordination items, and of cost options.
Historically, fire stations are fairly simple facilities with light commercial construction and basic systems. As our team worked with the City of Bothell, we identified ways to have high-quality HVAC systems, that could be monitored remotely.
The primary HVAC system controls for this fire station are manufacturer-based. But there is also a custom DDC (direct digital control) system overlay. This provides the City with the ability to monitor and command certain HVAC system parameters. The City of Bothell can do this remotely. This enables them to monitor alarms, maintenance requirements, and system set points from City Hall or other locations where facility operations personnel are located and dispatched.
These monitoring features are important to the City of Bothell as a way to maintain their facilities. This translates to a building that is orderly and healthy for emergency responders.
In the apparatus bays, there are ventilation systems that monitor the CO2 and noxious gas levels. The exhaust air systems are modulated to provide good air quality and keep the bays at negative pressure to the rest of the fire station. The building ventilation systems work together to provide the normally occupied rooms at a positive pressure compared to the apparatus bays. The occupied station ventilation systems also have high-quality particulate filters (MERV 13 or better). These HVAC features maintain good air quality, and keep noxious gases out of the occupied zones.
In addition to good monitoring and controllability, our team worked together to ensure the design of this station has features that help the firefighters reduce other environmental contaminants. There is a designated hazardous storage closet with negative pressure. The apparatus bays have a gear washing area. Adjacent to the apparatus bays, we designed a decontamination room and a gear turnout room. These rooms have a shower, gear washing, and gear turnout for drying. All of these features are done while outside of the main occupied part of the station. The rooms are heated and ventilated, and the gear turnout room has a dehumidifier to ensure wet gear can dry out quickly.
P2S worked with the Port of Long Beach in conjunction with the Long Beach Fire Department to replace Fire Boat Stations 15 (FS 15) and 20 to include new boat bays to support new fire boats. P2S provided MEP and telecommunications design services for the fire station buildings, boat bays, and site power and lighting. Additionally, P2S provided an energy model and determined the relative efficiency of building layout and orientation, load calculations, an estimate of electrical service requirements to include future expansion, and coordinated emergency power needs and provided sizing of emergency generator. Our design solutions helped earn FS 15 a LEED Gold Certification.
To earn the LEED Gold Certification, the design team relied upon P2S to develop a design to achieve overall energy performance of almost 40% better than code requirement. A particularly challenging hurdle the team had to overcome was not being able to use economizers or natural ventilation strategies due to higher air pollution levels from adjacent container port.
The design team had already modeled LED lighting and mixed model ventilation strategies requiring CFD analysis. The team quickly analyzed alternate energy efficient solutions including radiant cooling and heating and variable refrigerant flow (VRF) systems. The P2S team worked collaboratively with the project architect to produce an energy-efficient envelope, reduced the equipment sizing, and selected the VRF option based on life cycle cost. Most importantly, the building's energy models indicated the design exceeds the original energy goal with 44% better than Title 24 code requirements, resulting in very comfortable and efficient fire stations.

The new Aztec Student Union at San Diego State, officially named the Conrad Prebys Aztec Student Union, is the replacement of the original 1968 Aztec Center and 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 campus hub, 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 that delivers 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 cost savings over the previous one.

Cascade Hall is a new facility that provides room for program growth through integration of health care, adult basic education, and ESL programs. The 59,00 SF building provides classrooms, computer labs, collaborative office space, and nursing labs within the same facility.
Cascade Hall was designed with sustainability as a goal from the ground up. Energy use was reduced with a high-performance building envelope that reduces energy use for facility heating and cooling. Packaged rooftop direct expansion (DX) units, utilizing environmentally friendly refrigerants, reduced refrigerant volume in the building, and combined with electric reheat coils in the variable air volume (VAV) boxes, eliminating the use of fossil fuels for heating the building. The HVAC systems were designed to reduce fan energy with variable speed fans and ductwork sized to reduce fan energy use. Control sequences were implemented to further reduce HVAC system energy, integrating the occupancy sensors and occupancy schedules. Low-flow fixtures and sensor-activated faucets reduced water use.
A skylight brings natural light from the roof down the first floor in the central corridor, and a two-story main entryway allows students and staff to enjoy the exterior views and open spaces. The HVAC systems were integrated into the two-story entryway to provide the necessary air for ventilation, heating and cooling without impacting the visual appeal of the space. The use of wood as a building material was maximized throughout the building to increase the use of locally sourced renewable materials in the facility. Rooftop solar panels generate electricity for the building, further reducing its CO2 impact on the environment. Daylighting and daylighting controls were used to reduce lighting and HVAC cooling energy.
An Energy Life-Cycle Cost Analysis evaluated the system cost of three alternate systems over a 30-year cycle. The systems analyzed included the use of a VAV AHU with high-efficiency gas boilers and VAV terminals, a Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) system, and a Ground-source heat pump with VAV terminals. Heating/cooling loads and energy consumption rates were modeled using TRANE TRACE 700 in compliance with the requirements of ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 140.
The project has been certified LEED Gold BD+C New Construction v2009.
El Camino College embarked on a strategic consolidation project with the creation of a new two-story, 44,000 SF Student Services Building. The $20 million project brought dispersed student services into one convenient location, significantly increasing service accessibility for the student body.
P2S provided technology engineering services for this project. This involved the design and oversight of Audiovisual (AV), physical security and IT/Telecom infrastructure and systems installations.
The AV installations were engineered to support digital signage communication, presentations, digital collaboration, and video conferencing functions. These systems were strategically placed in classrooms, conference rooms, and training rooms to facilitate interactive learning and effective communication.
An integral part of P2S's design strategy was the standardization of touch panels and push-button control solutions to meet users’ needs depending on the sophistication of the AV system. This approach ensured that the technology was not only cutting-edge but also user-friendly, enabling students and staff to easily control presentations and conferencing functions.

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.

We designed dry utilities and the greywater water system for the core building and coordinated with the LA Department of Water and Power for expanded electrical power utility at the building. For the tenant improvements, we expedited the process for the architect and designed low-pressure air distribution and ventilation systems; power distribution and lighting design; fire alarm and fire protection systems; and submitted all Title 24 energy calculations.
The project for Huntington Memorial Hospital in Pasadena, California, incorporates utility assessments and upgrades across multiple buildings across the hospital campus includes a new 12kV electrical utility service distribution lines on campus, to support the complete Master Plan development, and the rerouting of existing building service lines through underground tunnels and seismically complaint spaces. Building emergency power services are upgraded through new 4160V site distribution for increased capacity to support interior renovation projects and the connection of existing HVAC systems. Our work also included upgrades to the existing cooling systems in the Central Utility Plant for additional chilled water and condenser water capacity. Our team executed various designs around active acute care operations without impacting patient care including cutovers associated with exhaust and supply air systems in several buildings.
Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas needed a new building to accommodate its growing demand for capacity. P2S helped design the new $94 million, 72,000 SF Leichtag Foundation Critical Care Pavilion (CCP) and central plant. In line with the Hospital’s focus on future development, the design called for constant re-assessment and forward-thinking considerations about the needs of the community in the next 50-100 years. The 2-story CCP includes 26 treatment rooms, a 36-bed medical surgery nursing unit, and airborne infection isolation rooms.
The University of Washington’s Montlake Tower is a medical tower housing diagnostic imaging, surgery, and patient beds, including a 32-bed adult acute care unit, a neonatal intensive care unit providing care for 47 newborns, and an inpatient oncology unit. The eight-story superstructure has three inpatient floors and a dedicated interstitial space for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems. A second design phase completed shell space in the Montlake Tower and renovations in the Pacific and Muilenburg Towers. This work involved five universal and two hybrid operating rooms, two intensive care nursing units, a medical/surgical nursing unit, and support areas.
The patient-centered principles of Virginia Mason's lean production system were used to design and construct the new Floyd & Delores Jones Pavilion in Seattle. This 19-story medical campus addition included emergency and critical care units, a new lobby entrance, and a pedestrian bridge. Double-tall floors on multiple levels provided a connection to the existing 17-story hospital tower. The design emphasized flexibility, allowing any floor to function as treatment, diagnostic, surgery, or patient space.

Mt. San Antonio College’s new $13.6 million Student Success Center was a milestone for the Walnut, California college. Funded through a voter-approved facilities bond in 2008, the LEED Gold-certified facility centralizes services like the Veterans Resource Center, the Accessible Technology Center for Disabled Student Programs and Services, and a Student Health Center satellite office.
The building’s HVAC system meets occupants’ needs, provides a safe environment and accommodates changes in building operation. The design of the building’s envelope, new HVAC equipment, and lighting were all essential in achieving the College’s sustainability, energy performance, and LEED certification goals.
In addition to achieving LEED NC v3, Gold Certification, the building’s systems were designed with the goal of achieving a 20% energy savings by cost versus a Title 24 baseline building. The building's mechanical and lighting systems tie into the campus-wide photovoltaic array, adding to the savings by cost.
The facility’s telecom infrastructure provides reliable, flexible and scalable access to information technology resources including, voice, data network, administrative computing and student services. To ensure occupant safety, the P2S Fire Protection team ran a comprehensive smoke control analysis on this new building.
