PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Alphatec PC took a holistic approach that delivered value to the UDC School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) through cross-disciplinal architectural and engineering problem solving, to provide best value design solutions to the University. Alphatec developed an efficient and effective A/E design solution, ensuring that the new Air Handling Units responded positively to HVAC load demands and DCMR Green Building Guidelines.
