Respective Projects Include:

Amazon Distribution Center, Perryville, MD - This project included MEP design services for a 1.1 million sf design
build warehouse facility. Interior lighting design included high bay LED type light fixtures with individual occupancy
sensors for each fixture and exterior wall and pole mounted LED light fixtures with timeclock and photocell control. A
generator was installed powered emergency and exit light fixtures as required to meet life safety code requirements.
Electrical power distribution design included an underground 277/480volt – 3phase power company service with
multiple switchboards and a fire pump installation. Step-down transformers were provided for sub-panel to feed
120/208volt – 3phase distribution panels. A fire alarm system was provided with initiation and signaling devices
located as required by code. Hydrogen fuel cells were used to power the forklifts. A lightning protection system was
installed. The mechanical design included packaged rooftop units for the entire warehouse and VAV rooftop units
with electric reheat for the office areas. HVLS fans were utilized in areas with large concentration of people. The
plumbing design included a domestic booster pump, flush valve toilets, and water to various locations throughout the
facility.

Perryville Cold Storage Facility, Maryland – Mechanical and electrical design for a new 364,000 square foot freezer
storage building with an office/maintenance area. The owner challenged Paragon with the task of finding a solution
to saving energy by turning the lights on and off in the freezers during the short time forklift drivers drove through.
We accomplished this task by designing T5HO fixtures to be used with occupancy sensors on each fixture to reduce
the lighting in the aisles by 50% and maintaining an average of 25fc at a design temperature from -30 degrees Celsius
to 0 degrees Celsius. The design also considered special requirements for a large battery charging area and power to
all refrigeration equipment.
