US Department of Homeland Security - NBACC

Created by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security in the months following the 2001 anthrax attacks, the National Biodefense Analysis and Countermeasures Center is a government laboratory quantitatively assessing the risks posed by biological threats and attributing their use in bioterrorism or biocrime events. Completed in March 2009, NBACC's 160,000 sf facility is located within the National Interagency Biodefense Campus, at Fort Detrick, Maryland. NBACC research guides the development of suc

US Department of Homeland Security - National Bio and Agro Defense Facility

The National Bio and Agro Defense Facility (NBAF) is the new home to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s biodefense efforts. The building replaces the Plum Island Animal Disease Center in New York — a facility over 60 years old, too small to house growing research, and not suited for the study of BSL-4 microbes and biological agents. NBAF’s functions are research and the development of countermeasures to combat high-consequence biological threats involving human, zoonotic, and foreign ani

The University of Chicago - William Eckhardt Research Center

Two levels below grade, six labs house lasers and high-performance optics used in experimental research related to spintronics, quantum information, and nanoscale sensing. Precision temperature/humidity sensing devices and individual dedicated air handling units with fast-acting controls and magnetic actuated valves maintain environmental requirements of 72°F ±0.5° and 37.5% RH ±2%. Two high-performance Class 10,000 optics labs meet requirements of 70°F ±0.5° and 37.5%RH ±2%. Designed without id

University of Southern California - The Eli and Edythe Broad Center

While the Eli and Edythe Broad Center for Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research reduces energy consumption by 30 percent through use of chilled beams alone, this Laboratory of the Year honoree perhaps most prominently demonstrates the successful realization of a design concept integrated with optimal envelope and mechanical system performance. AEI provided CFD energy performance and daylight analyses allowing the double skin façade air cavity ventilation to reduce heat gain in warm temper

US Department of Energy - Energy Systems Integration Facility

At the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, the U.S. Department of Energy goes beyond energy simulation and data analysis by using hardware-in-the-loop prototyping to validate solutions in energy and energy efficiency. The new Energy Systems Integration Facility (ESIF) furthers the scale-up from the benchtop to advance the integration of renewable energy sources into uniform utility-level power.

AEI planned, designed, and engineered ESIFs laboratory systems advancing microgrid and smart grid s

University of California, San Diego - Altman Clinical and Translational Research Institute

Fault rules testing was implemented to confirm the rule set worked on air handling units, the heat recovery chiller, boilers, thermal storage, chilled beams, and control valves. The FDD rule set testing discovered that boiler #4 was running at 100% but not achieving the design temperature differential. FDD testing also discovered that the heat recovery chiller was not being fully utilized and could have been running many more hours further saving energy. Extrapolated for the year, optimizing the

The Universities at Shady Grove - Biomedical Sciences and Engineering Education Facility

An esteemed economic driver of the entire state, Montgomery County, Maryland, is widely recognized for its commitment to educational excellence and fiscal responsibility. Its premier institution, The Universities at Shady Grove (USG), serves as a centralized and regional academic hub — a convenient consortium of nine separate public university systems encompassing over eighty varying degree tracks across the state.

With an eye toward the future, USG envisioned a landmark facility that would not

Located on the 30-acre, city-owned Phoenix Biomedical Campus, the University of Arizona’s Biomedical Sciences Partnership Building (BSPB) fosters collaboration among research scientists, healthcare providers, and private companies. The $106.8 million BSPB was programmed, designed, and constructed by the same project team as the Health Sciences Education (HSEB) Building immediately to the south, and completed in just 27 months.

AEI’s approach to optimizing building performance includes active ch

California Institute for Technology - Tianqiao & Chrissy Chen Neuroscience Research Building

Designed to unite scientists and accelerate our understanding of the human brain, the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) collaborated with an integrated design-build team to construct the new Tianqiao and Chrissy Chen Neuroscience Research Building (CNRB) on the northwest corner of campus.

Part of the Tianqiao and Chrissy Chen Institute for Neuroscience, this world-class facility is sited to preserve open campus views while creating an iconic gateway for enhanced collaboration and int

National STEM/STEAM Day 2022: Engaging the Next Generation of Global Change Makers

While National STEM/STEAM Day may only fall once a year, ongoing youth engagement and outreach is at the very core of everyday life here at AEI. To ensure continued human progress, the next generation of global change heavily relies not only on innovations across science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEM/STEAM), but, more importantly, the motivated individuals and professionals dedicated to pursuing careers in these critical fields.


In honor of 2022 National STEM/STEAM Day
