At Innodez, we are committed to providing innovative MEP design and engineering solutions for a variety of commercial projects. For the Carwash C-Store MEP Design in Moulton Parkway, Laguna Woods, we were tasked with delivering efficient and reliable mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems that ensure the facility operates smoothly and meets the needs of both the business owners and customers.
Our MEP Engineering Approach:
Our team collaborated closely with the architects and contractors to design MEP systems that were both functional and sustainable. The goal was to create an energy-efficient, safe, and comfortable environment for both the carwash services and the convenience store, while adhering to local building codes and regulations.
HVAC Design for a Comfortable Environment:
The HVAC system design for the Carwash and C-Store was tailored to meet the unique environmental needs of the facility. The system needed to provide effective ventilation to maintain indoor air quality while considering the high moisture levels associated with carwash operations. For the C-store, we integrated a highly efficient HVAC system that ensures a comfortable shopping experience for customers, even during peak operating hours. By using advanced HVAC technologies, we reduced energy consumption while maximizing comfort and safety.
Electrical Systems for Commercial Efficiency:
Our electrical design ensured that the Carwash and C-Store had a robust, reliable electrical infrastructure to power the various equipment and lighting systems. The electrical systems were designed to handle the demands of both high-powered carwash machinery and energy-efficient store lighting. We incorporated smart lighting solutions, energy-efficient systems, and modern security technologies to enhance the safety, functionality, and overall energy efficiency of the facility.
Plumbing Solutions for Carwash Operations:
For this project, the plumbing system design was a crucial element, particularly given the carwash’s high water usage. We designed high-performance plumbing systems that ensure efficient water management, including waste removal and water conservation. The system was designed to handle large volumes of water while minimizing waste, which is vital for environmental sustainability. We also ensured that the plumbing systems adhered to local health and safety standards, ensuring the safety of both employees and customers.
Sustainability and Energy Efficiency:
Sustainability is at the core of our MEP designs. For the Carwash and C-Store project, we integrated energy-efficient solutions that reduce the environmental impact of the building’s operations. From water-saving fixtures to LED lighting and energy-efficient HVAC systems, our design focuses on minimizing the building’s energy footprint while maintaining high levels of performance. The carwash and C-store were designed to meet green building standards, contributing to both energy savings and the facility’s overall sustainability.
Challenges and Solutions:
Throughout the design and implementation process, we faced several challenges, including ensuring that the carwash’s plumbing system could handle the demands of high water flow, and creating an HVAC system that could balance temperature control with energy efficiency. Our team’s expertise in MEP design for commercial facilities allowed us to find innovative solutions. For example, we designed a custom water recycling system that reduced the amount of water required by the carwash, ensuring both operational efficiency and environmental compliance.
Conclusion:
At Innodez, our MEP engineering expertise helped bring the Carwash and C-Store in Moulton Parkway project to life. By integrating advanced, sustainable systems, we delivered solutions that ensure the smooth operation of both the carwash and the convenience store, improving customer satisfaction while reducing operational costs. Our focus on efficiency and sustainability made this project a success and ensures long-term performance.

InnoDez provided MEP Design and Engineering and Title 24 report for a new C-Store and Carwash located at 24202 Moulton Pkwy, Laguna Woods, CA.
Existing Moulton Parkway Auto Spa will no longer be a full-service carwash. The below structures will be removed or replaced and relocated:
Existing carwash/office building, detail garage building, underground fuel storage, fuel islands, fuel canopy, trash enclosure, carwash clarifiers and site utilities.
Proposed buildings consist of a shell fueling station with a small convenience store (1,719 SF), self-operated express carwash with equipment storage (1,657 SF), 6 fueling dispensers with a new metal fueling canopy.
