Annex B, AEI for BUP
First Edition
(6) Fire Detection and Fire Alarm Systems. All barracks in BUP will be equipped with
detection and fire alarm systems per the Life Safety Code. Interior corridors will be equipped
with smoke detectors connected to the building fire alarm evacuation system. Smoke detectors in
the individual sleeping areas, when in alarm, will sound a local alarm only and will not activate the
building fire alarm evacuation system. All other devices will sound the alarm throughout the stack
or building. Heat detectors within the sleeping rooms are not required except for LBC&W
barracks with enclosed vestibules. A manual pull station should be provided at each exit and on
each floor at the stair entrance. In the LBC&W design, the fire alarm system should sound
evacuation alarms in the individual stacks and not throughout the building in adjacent stacks.
g. Mechanical Systems.
(1) Special energy studies and energy budget calculations will not be required; however,
system selections must be based on life cycle cost comparisons where appropriate. All new or
replacement equipment and systems must comply with current energy and water conservation
standards.
(2) The following requirements are based on the LBC&W barracks originally designed and
constructed in the 1970's. The upgrade shall be in accordance with the standard design. If the
barracks have received recent major mechanical upgrades, all of the indicated work may not be
required and portions may be deleted from the project if the results will provide essentially the
same degree of comfort, maintenance, life cycle cost effectiveness and quality.
(a) Building HVAC systems will be replaced in their entirety including, chilled and
heating water piping, dual temperature piping and condensate drains exterior to the building
mechanical room, fan coil units, controls and outside air supplies.
(b) New heating, cooling and ventilation loads will be calculated based on the new
room layouts, occupancies, internal loads, etc. These new loads will be used to size the fan coil
units, VAV terminal units, pipe sizes, control valve Cv ratings and similar.
(c) Chillers, boilers, heat exchangers and similar mechanical room or central equipment
will be replaced where justified based on condition and remaining economic life.
(d) When fan coil units are the primary method for heating and cooling the spaces,
outside air will be treated (heated/cooled) and ducted to each space from separate roof/attic
mounted air handing units. The toilet exhaust shall operate continuously and the outside
air/exhaust air quantities shall be balanced to maintain a positive pressure in the bedrooms
