The City of Burbank tasked Advisian to develop a conceptual design for a 2 MW rooftop PV system for a parking structure at the Bob Hope Airport.
Approach
The conceptual design aimed to minimize visual and environmental impact, ease permitting, and optimize costs, plant performance, reliability and construction schedule. It was of critical importance to the design to ensure zero impact on the operation of the airport facilities throughout the construction and operation of the facility. Advisian provided a review of commercially available PV technologies as well as the PV system’s electrical and structural design, 3D renderings for visualization, performance analysis and preliminary cost estimates.
Results
Following intensive on-site investigations and meetings with various stakeholders, Advisian proposed innovative solutions to the City of Burbank including detailed specifications.
