- [How to be Resilient in a World of Creeping Climate Change](https://www.mazzetti.com/article/how-to-be-resilient-in-a-world-of-creeping-climate-change/): Many healthcare systems are aware they need to think about the impact of a changing climate on their ability to deliver effective health services. This awareness likely stems from the increasing frequency and severity of climate change-driven disasters. These disasters have included year-round wildfires, increasingly intense rain events and flooding, unseasonable freezes and record-setting heat.
- [What Healthcare Organizations Need to Know About the IRA to Leverage Financial Incentives](https://www.mazzetti.com/article/what-healthcare-organizations-need-to-know-about-the-ira-to-leverage-financial-incentives/): Contributing authors: Chris Lombardo, Grace Olupinyo, Bethany Beers, Christina Sanborn
- [Women@Mazzetti Spotlight: Asya Rayter](https://www.mazzetti.com/article/womenmazzetti-spotlight-asya-rayter/): We are halfway through the year, and our Women@Mazzetti numbers are on the rise! With many new projects on the horizon, Mazzetti has a surge of new hires onboarding as we increase our teams to meet demand. We are also lucky to have several interns joining us this summer – stay tuned for next month’s spotlight to hear more about the incredible women we have interning across the company!
- [Troy Savage Recognized by AIA AAH Healthcare Design’s Best Under 40](https://www.mazzetti.com/article/troy-savage-recognized-by-aia-aah-healthcare-designs-best-under-40/): Troy Savage, Project Manager Extraordinaire (and Strategic Innovation Master) at Mazzetti, was officially named to the U40 List – AIA AAH List of Healthcare Design's Best Under 40. Each year up to two individuals are named to this list presented by the American Institute of Architects Academy of Architecture for Health, acknowledging individuals making a significant contribution to the advancement of healthcare facilities design. The individuals are selected by a jury composed of a diverse group of leaders within the healthcare design industry from a broad group of firms/organizations and backgrounds. 
- [Five Things Healthcare Business Executives Should Know About ESG](https://www.mazzetti.com/article/five-things-healthcare-business-executives-should-know-about-esg/): It’s imperative for healthcare organizations to lead on climate change action; here’s a primer on what to do now.
- [Women @ Mazzetti: June Spotlight](https://www.mazzetti.com/article/women-mazzetti-june-spotlight/): The Women@Mazzetti committee has decided to postpone our planned spotlight for June until next month in light of the recent news of the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. We want to allow time to discuss the impact that this ruling has on our employees and their families. While we recognize that Mazzetti is not a political organization or environment, the mission of the W@M committee is to promote gender equality within the company and A/E/C industry and support the women that work at Mazzetti to the best of our ability. We support the principle that women should have the right to make decisions about their own bodies. We recognize and respect that personal opinions may not agree with our position. As a committee dedicated to the mission of creating the most woman-friendly engineering firm in the world, we feel we must acknowledge the extent to which removing access to equitable healthcare services including abortion will negatively affect and limit women in achieving their full potential in their careers. Keeping diversity, equity, and inclusion in mind, we must also recognize that this decision especially impacts women of color and those who face economic hardship. It is also a significant setback for people that are not cisgender women who are still able to become pregnant including non-binary, intersex, and trans people. Bodily autonomy and access to equitable and life-saving healthcare are crucial to the survival and success of not only women, but the LGBTQ+ community as well, and we would be remiss not to acknowledge that fact.

- [Mazzetti’s Decarb Journey & Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Inventory](https://www.mazzetti.com/article/mazzettis-decarb-journey-greenhouse-gas-ghg-inventory/): In February 2022, the professional society representing Professional Engineers, NSPE, adopted a position establishing Climate Change as one of preeminent importance to our profession. "Climate change is real – the impacts are serious, and they are accelerating. There is an urgent imperative for the engineering community to take informed and intentional actions now to both reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to the impacts of a changing climate. It is our duty and purpose to contribute our skills and knowledge of human-centered technologies and of the natural world to lead humanity out of the climate crisis with a focus on sustainable, resilient, equitable, and innovative approaches."

We are grateful to Monica Anderson for writing our last spotlight of the year on our wonderful controller, Edna Webb. Please enjoy.
- [Women@Mazzetti Spotlight: Kristelle Fruge](https://www.mazzetti.com/article/womenmazzetti-spotlight-kristelle-fruge/): During October, Mazzetti had three new hires, including two females, pushing us to over forty percent women in the company, edging closer to our goal of being a fifty percent female-employed business. The Women@Mazzetti committee is focused on assisting with the implementation of new mentorship practices and members of the committee have hosted a series of meet and greets on different technical and professional development topics to allow employees interested in those areas of mentorship to get to know one another. The mentorship topics include M/E/P/T engineering, lighting, healthcare design, project management, marketing and business development, commissioning and sustainability, early career development, leadership, and BIM/VDC. Employees interested in being mentors in one or more of the topics were able to introduce themselves and talk for a few minutes about their experience. Our next steps are to pair interested mentees with mentors allowing them to determine if they are good match for one another and structure their mentorship relationship. We look forward to seeing how this new mentorship structure works to form a support network for both young and continuing professionals alike.

- [Women@Mazzetti Spotlight: Amber McClintock](https://www.mazzetti.com/article/womenmazzetti-spotlight-amber-mcclintock/): Our Women@Mazzetti numbers remain steady as we head into fall! Last week, the W@M and DEIJ committees collaborated to bring in Ellie Krug for “Gray Area Thinking” training, helping us connect and familiarize more as humans! Ellie, a transgender woman, accomplished lawyer, and public speaker from Minneapolis, illustrated how people have a tendency to group and label other people who are considered different or “other”. After establishing the many different ways that we categorize other people, we focused on the specific ways that we also group and label ourselves (and how we can be our own worst critics!). By the end of the presentation, we were enlightened by Ellie’s toolset for “Gray Area Thinking”, including being aware of human vulnerability and showing more compassion for ourselves and others. Through several interactive scenarios, Ellie demonstrated to our group how mentorship, sponsorship, and support are pivotal to creating an inclusive workplace. We are so grateful to Ellie for joining us and sharing her impactful presentation. We look forward to hosting similar events in the future to continue promoting diversity and inclusion within Mazzetti!

The conversations were fruitful; we received feedback that can turn into immediate changes and future goals. Overall, there was an emphasis on involving the entire project team in the interview process, with an emphasis on training and exposure for younger staff. With the successful teamwork between the W@M and DEIJ committees, we look forward to having more joint meetings and hosting diversity events together.
- [Women @ Mazzetti Spotlight: Nikki Tuft](https://www.mazzetti.com/article/women-mazzetti-spotlight-nikki-tuft/): Summer is here—temperatures are rising, but our W@M numbers are holding steady for the month (per graph above).
- [Is the Traditional NICU Delivering the Best Outcomes for All Preemies?](https://www.mazzetti.com/article/is-the-traditional-nicu-delivering-the-best-outcomes-for-all-preemies/): Approximately 11% of babies worldwide are born premature. Most babies born at 32 weeks of pregnancy have only a few temporary health issues that require a stay in the NICU for  a few days to a few weeks. At 32 weeks, babies still have a couple months to go before reaching their full birth weight, but they’re well developed. However, most babies who are born very preterm and extremely preterm have extremely low birth weight and a higher risk of complications and health problems than a baby born at 32 weeks. Babies born at 26-28 weeks have an increased risk for medical complications and disabilities such as cerebral palsy, deafness, blindness, and neurological problems and may face an extended stay in the NICU. Babies born at 26-28 weeks gestation have the following characteristics that require additional specialized care and environmental considerations:
- [Women @ Mazzetti Spotlight: Anjali Wale](https://www.mazzetti.com/article/women-mazzetti-spotlight-anjali-wale/): Due to some revisions to the company board and the qualifications for technical positions, June’s Women@Mazzetti numbers are showing an uptick in our number of women on the Board of Directors and in leadership and technical positions. In June, the W@M committee hosted a cross-office ‘speed dating” event to encourage people from different offices who don’t have the opportunity to work together to get to know one another better. With a robust group from across all our Mazzetti offices, we split into small break-out rooms to chat and learn about each other before switching to a new room and starting over. A list of questions was provided to help break the ice with fun topics such as where your first vacation will be after the pandemic, how many languages you can speak, and what some of your favorite work projects have been. The goal of this meet and greet event was not only to promote more interaction between our offices but also to spur new connections that could be beneficial for employee mentorship and professional development. We look forward to hosting more fun events like this in the future!
- [Pride: Colorful reflections and “gray” projections](https://www.mazzetti.com/article/pride-colorful-reflections-and-gray-projections/): As the official LGBTQ+ Pride Month comes to a close, we’re reflecting on what ‘Pride’ means to us. Where are we today in our thinking/perspectives? What can we learn from each other? How can we expand and evolve to be better stewards of DEI values? 
- [Lean Leadership: How Five Minutes a Day Creates More Effective Teams](https://www.mazzetti.com/article/lean-leadership-how-five-minutes-a-day-creates-more-effective-teams/): Typically, when we talk about Lean methodologies, most conversations hover around project design and delivery—providing more value with fewer resources (eliminating waste). How does this apply to leadership? What does it mean to be a lean leader? (Google, of course, could provide several answers.) During an interview with Derek West, highlighting his recent leadership promotion in Mazzetti Sacramento, he mentioned something he had started doing with his team—daily, he offers informal 5-minute check-ins with each of his team members, particularly geared toward younger staff. The intent, in a “shotgun approach”, as Derek refers, is to increase productivity by quickly removing a barrier (i.e. answer a critical question). This five-minute allotment can justifiably evolve into 30 minutes if a learning and development opportunity is achieved. At the end of the conversation, the co-worker is that much more informed, confident, and able to tackle a similar obstacle in the future. AND, the lean aspect, the need for Derek (or others) to coach/advise on that topic in the future is mitigated or completed alleviated.

- [Hot Water for Handwashing: Is it necessary?](https://www.mazzetti.com/article/hot-water-for-handwashing-is-it-necessary/): Over the last several years, experts in infection control have been uprooting old assumptions that hot water is an essential component in handwashing. The World Health Organization (WHO) says, “Apart from the issue of skin tolerance and level of comfort, water temperature does not appear to be a critical factor for microbial removal from hands being washed.” Water in the temperature range we can tolerate is not hot enough to kill bacteria — it would have to be scalding hot before its temperature could improve upon the simple act of scrubbing with soap.
- [Women @ Mazzetti Spotlight: Brianne Copes](https://www.mazzetti.com/article/women-mazzetti-spotlight-brianne-copes/): As we settle into 2021 (how is it March already?!), our Women@Mazzetti numbers are holding steady!

- [Time to Get Serious About the Greatest Threat to Human Health (And it’s not COVID)](https://www.mazzetti.com/article/time-to-get-serious-about-the-greatest-threat-to-human-health-and-its-not-covid/): While this COVID pandemic is still very much requiring our attention, we can't lose sight of the greatest threat to global health in the 21st century—climate change. Today, Healthcare represents almost 20% of the US National Economy, 10% of US carbon emissions, and 5% of global carbon emissions… and growing. Rather than “doing no harm,” healthcare is actively fueling the carbon fire.

- [Mayo Clinic East Expansion](https://www.mazzetti.com/project/mayo-clinic-east-expansion/)
- [Long-Duration Energy Storage for Healthcare](https://www.mazzetti.com/project/long-duration-energy-storage-for-healthcare/): The grid that hospitals depend on is changing faster than the codes, budgets, and backup systems built around it. Wildfires, severe weather, cyber threats, aging infrastructure, and surging electrical demand are turning “reliable power” from an assumption into a strategic risk. At the same time, healthcare remains one of the most carbon-intensive building sectors in the country — under real pressure to decarbonize without ever compromising patient safety.
- [Electrical Plug Loads](https://www.mazzetti.com/project/electrical-plug-loads/): Significant advancements emerged from this research effort, including the completion and public discussion of a large, multi-hospital empirical plug-load study focused on healthcare receptacle circuits. The work also led to the publication of a peer-reviewed journal article introducing a new probabilistic methodology for sizing plug loads, providing a more data-driven alternative to traditional design assumptions. Most notably, the findings directly informed revisions to demand factors in the 2026 National Electrical Code (NEC) for healthcare facilities. Together, these achievements represent more than industry commentary or advocacy; they introduced new data, new analytical methods, and measurable code-level impact.
- [ASHRAE Research: Medical Imaging Equipment Energy Use](https://www.mazzetti.com/project/ashrae-research-medical-imaging-equipment-energy-use/): Until RP-1816 is formally published by ASHRAE:
- [ASHRAE Research: Ventilation, Health & Climate Impact](https://www.mazzetti.com/project/ashrae-research-ventilation-health-climate-impact/): Ventilation decisions carry significant implications for both human health and climate impact, particularly in healthcare, laboratory, and other high performance environments. Over ventilation can unintentionally increase energy use and emissions, while under ventilation can compromise indoor environmental quality. This research supports evidence based decision making that protects occupants while advancing Mazzetti’s environmental mission of bending the climate curve.
- [ASHRAE Research: Gray Water Reuse & Water Resilience](https://www.mazzetti.com/project/ashrae-research-gray-water-reuse-water-resilience/): As climate change and population growth intensify pressure on water resources, buildings must play an active role in water conservation and resilience. Gray water reuse offers meaningful reductions in potable water demand, yet adoption is often hindered by design complexity, regulatory uncertainty, and operational risk. Advancing reliable reuse strategies supports both environmental stewardship and community resilience, key pillars of Mazzetti’s public benefit commitments.

- [Banner Health Primary Data Center](https://www.mazzetti.com/project/banner-health-primary-data-center/): Mazzetti designed a new, Tier III, two-story data center facility with data processing “rooms” on the second floor and electrical distribution equipment on the first floor. Data center Tiers are from the Uptime institute that categorizes data centers into four levels of reliability and redundancy, even potential periods of routine maintenance. The first three rooms were built with the expansion possibility into two more shelled rooms; the electrical infrastructure was designed to be duplicated to support future possibilities. The new central plant was developed to support both the data center and a 300,000sf administrative office. The design included variable speed drives on all the chillers, cooling towers, and both chilled and condenser water pumps. The piping configuration was designed to meet Tier III requirements consisting of a looped design that allows for continuous operations while isolating portions of the distribution. A thermal ride-thru tank was provided to ensure cooling during the transition of normal and emergency power. The office tower piping was isolated from the main data center cooling system by an intermediate heat exchanger. These configurations help provide an efficient data center with future possibilities of engineering additional data centers in the open pod areas.

- [SEA International Airport – North Satellite Modernization](https://www.mazzetti.com/project/sea-international-airport-north-satellite-modernization/): North satellite is technically an “Island” location, surrounded by aircrafts. Avoiding the abundance of aircraft exhaust required various elaborate tests (typically from 12am – 4am, during non-peak travel time), simulating gate doors opening and closing, while measuring the responding indoor air pressure. We borrowed the local fire department’s smoke generator to create physical smoke, observing the pattern of the air flow. We developed a control scheme for the HVAC system to react dynamically, in real time, to door openings. Essentially we identified how to maintain air flow in one direction, protecting the indoor air quality.
