#AEI Director of Business Development-Data Centers James Betts is heading to Ashburn, Virginia, to attend the Future Bridge Events 7th Data Center Design, Engineering, and Construction Summit. As data demands accelerate, solving the intricacies of power, cooling, and operational excellence in mission critical facilities requires deep technical expertise. James is looking forward to connecting with developers, architects, and fellow industry partners to share insights on designing resilient infrastructure. #AffiliatedEngineers #SustainableDesign #DataCenters #MEPDesign

Setting a new benchmark for sustainable healthcare, the D. Dan and Betty Kahn Health Care Pavilion has officially achieved LEED Platinum® certification. This 700,000-square-foot patient care facility marks a major milestone for the University of Michigan Medical School, achieving a remarkable 50% reduction in carbon emissions compared to similar healthcare projects. To reach this elite tier of performance, #AEI reimagined the typical hospital chiller plant. Instead of a uniform approach, we implemented a decentralized system with low-temperature chillers specifically for the 23 surgical suites and 243 inpatient rooms. By integrating heat recovery capabilities, the design offsets 25% of the building’s largest energy end use, reheat energy, saving $110,000 in annual energy costs while maintaining the precise environments required for critical care.

Organizations invest heavily in physical security technology, yet one critical element is frequently overlooked: the people who occupy the building every day. In a web panel discussion hosted by SecurityInfoWatch.com, #AEI Security Leader Sean Ahrens explores the role occupant behavior, awareness, and training play in real-world emergency readiness. Improving building occupants’ security awareness and participation helps foster a more sustainable safety culture, strengthening responses to incidents such as workplace violence and natural disasters. Sean and his fellow panelists share strategies for building occupant-centered emergency preparedness programs, along with practical communication methods, training techniques, and the use of security trend data to enhance readiness, engagement, and compliance.
