Alfa conducts CFD or wind studies to inform design decisions that can enhance or reduce desired or uncomfortable wind conditions due to building orientation, size, and location.
Alfa conducted a full energy & water simulation for a residential project by Sikun and Binui. We then compared a green building project, Vittenberg, to a conventional baseline building. The study showed the economic operational savings as well as other benefits for future tenants.
Alfa conducted a CFD simulation to determine the thermal comfort of the Sarona Tower retail and atriums. The study’s output was used to optimize project design.
Alfa conducted a solar radiation study for the new Artist Center in Jerusalem, including a shading impact study on future building energy consumption and daylight analysis. The design team for the Artist Center used these results to make more informed decisions concerning glazing type and external shading elements.
Tel Aviv Square is not the only one, and in the scorching heat of the Israeli summer, a three-quadruple drop is significant.
Together with Moshe Zur Architects who designed the premium office tower, Alfa becomes the only Israeli consulting firm to win this prestigious award, and received first place in the 2019 competition, for Façade Engineering.
“Energy Conservation Construction” or “Green Building” is an innovative concept of construction that is spreading in many countries of the world, incorporating awareness of climate conditions and striving for energy savings in residential, office and industrial buildings.
The ToHa premium office tower, achieved the highest LEED rating, and joins the select group of international LEED Platinum awarded buildings. The project features a unique double skin façade designed for hot climates, superior daylight and views, never-realized -before cooling systems, and water recycling systems.
Buildings are wasteful energy consumers that affect global warming. Now, a kindergarten set up in Hadera is joining a series of new energy-efficient projects that are even generating energy for themselves.
