LBNL Building 84 Electrification

Persistent entrainment of combustion exhaust at LBNL’s Building 84 resulted in a desire to electrify building 84's HVAC and Plumbing systems.

Alter compiled a team of design professionals and issued a report summarizing the evaluation of (qty.3) potential site locations for a new electric air-to-water heat pump plant.

The report included electrical, mechanical, plumbing, civil, structural, and cost analysis of each option.
