AHA has professional expertise to perform electrical power systems coordination studies on most the complex and high-performance buildings.
AHA’s Team of highly experienced electrical engineering professionals have the expertise and capabilities to perform electrical power systems arc flash and short-circuit coordination studies for facilities ranging from academic buildings on a medium voltage campus distribution system, to high-rise core-and-shell lab/office buildings in an urban utility network vault environment, to hyper-scale data centers on dedicated primary metered utility services, as well as small to large electrical power systems in between. Our team’s analysis leads to recommendations that allow our clients to increase operational reliability, and as importantly, personal and equipment safety.

This renovation modernized this historic 1920s building. The main kitchen was updated, while the refurbished dining rooms offer seating for approximately 300 guests. The meeting, conference, function, and hospitality spaces were upgrades, while new private and open office areas were created.
AHA provided Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing Design, Feasibility Study, an Arc Flash Study, and Utility Incentive Assistance services to met Harvard’s University Green Building Standards (Dec 2014) Tier 3 Systems Upgrades: Limited Scope Projects with Energy and GHG Impact. The design included two new mechanical rooms, one of which merged AHUs to eliminate several existing units, and expanded a third mechanical room. Overall 17 single zone, constant volume AHU’s were consolidated into 4 VAV AHU’s, system variability/control for dynamically occupied spaces improved energy efficiency, and the quantity of equipment needed to operate and maintain the building was reduced.
Northstar Project & Real Estate services, the University’s Owner’s Project Manager, engaged AHA to provide Advisory services, a feasibility study investigated the most appropriate solution to upgrade the building’s HVAC system.
