UC SAN DIEGO
Mandeville Hall MBCx
ABOUT THE PROJECT
After nearly 40 years in operation, Mandeville Hall was in need of an energy efficiency adjustment. Through
monitoring-based commissioning (MBCx), P2S saved the school more than $50,000/year in energy costs.
Mandeville Hall is connected to the campus central chilled water and high temperature hot water systems, but due to the
compartmentalized nature of the space, the HVAC systems primarily consisted of single-zone constant volume air handlers
or fan coil units. Additionally, at the time of the commissioning, the building controls were a mixture of pneumatic and direct
digital controls (DDC), and some of the DDC controllers had not been integrated into the campus energy management system
(EMS). In most cases the pneumatic valve and damper actuators had been retained. Voltage-to-pressure (E/P) converters were
installed as part of the original DDC system installation.
OUR SOLUTIONS
P2S identified numerous maintenance issues related to the
pneumatic items and made a number of recommendations for
conserving air and water systems including:
• Convert chilled hot water pumping to variable speed and
implement demand control
• Reduce simultaneous heating and cooling
• Integrate air handling unit controls to EMS
• Adjust building operating hours to operate only during
defined hours

while also allowing for diverse use of space
• The conditioned air for the QC cleanrooms is
distributed through the ducting system to the
ceiling banks of high efficiency particulate (HEPA)
filters
• The two make-up air handling units supply
conditioned 100% outside air to the main air
handling units

In addition to expanding space for the printer head
manufacturing facility, the project also involved utility
infrastructure expansions and additions in the existing
energy center. The majority of the manufacturing
space was made up of ISO Class 6 and 7 ballroom type
cleanrooms.
OUR SOLUTIONS
As part of the expansion, Hewlett Packard’s manufacturing
areas were fitted with recirculating air handlers and utilities
located in an interstitial space above the cleanrooms.
The make-up air system utilized chilled water return for
re-heat, eliminating the need for a separate diesel-fired
boiler plant.
Utilities included: uninterruptible power supply (UPS),
recirculation air handlers, make-up air handlers, specialty
exhaust systems and a large dust collection system.
Piped utilities included: chilled water, ultra-pure
deionized (DI) water, reverse osmosis (RO) water, high
purity nitrogen, oxygen and helium, clean dry air, high
pressure clean dry air, house vacuum, specialty vacuum,
process vacuum, process cooling water and pumped
chemicals.

HEWLETT PACKARD
Manufacturing Facility Expansion
ABOUT THE PROJECT
When Hewlett Packard needed to expand one of its 75,000 SF printer head cleanroom facilities, P2S
was there every step of the way, performing everything from trade studies and design to construction
documents, cost estimates and construction administration.
In addition to expanding space for the printer head manufacturing facility, the project also involved utility infrastructure
expansions and additions in the existing energy center. The majority of the manufacturing space was made up of ISO Class 6
and 7 ballroom type cleanrooms.

ORANGE COUNTY TRANSIT AUTHORITY
Parking Structure
ABOUT THE PROJECT
Anticipating an increase in ridership due to a major Tustin Metrolink expansion program, the Orange
County Transit Authority (OCTA) hired P2S to help double the amount of parking available to Metrolink
riders, while keeping energy efficient lighting in mind.
As part of the project, P2S Engineering provided lighting, power, plumbing, fire protection, security and telecommunications for
the new five-story parking structure. The basis of the lighting design for the Tustin Metrolink Station Parking Structure was to
utilize energy efficient and environmentally safe light fixtures while offering a well-lit and safe public parking 24-hours per day.
Engineering duties included site investigation of the existing utility services, capacity studies, coordination with utility companies
and local authorities, and communication with civil engineers. P2S also provided site and building impact input and conceptual
plans to support the delivery of the master plan.
OUR SOLUTIONS
• Built-in sensors reduce power and light output by 80%
when an area is unoccupied for more than five minutes
• Photocell option dims power and light output based on
ambient lighting
• Sensors eliminate the need for a lighting relay control
panel
• 100kW photovoltaic (PV) system produces energy that is
returned to the SCE grid offsetting the energy used in the
structure and parking lot
