Annex B, AEI for BUP
First Edition
(e) The generic standard design will indicate a four pipe fan coil system to ensure that
space is sufficient for the piping requirements. However, a two pipe system is standard for most
locations, where simultaneous heating and cooling of the building is not required. A VAV system
design will also be included in the generic package for use in humid areas and where VAV
systems may be more life cycle cost effective.
(3) For barracks originally designed by BB&A and for nonstandard barracks, the HVAC
design shall duplicate the above requirements to the extent feasible and shall provide systems of
essentially identical comfort levels, life cycle cost effectiveness and quality.
(4) For LBC&W barracks, the building plumbing system will be replaced in its entirety
including domestic cold and hot water piping and waste and vent lines down through the first
floor level, and plumbing fixtures. The upgrade shall be in accordance with the standard design.
If the barracks have received a major plumbing upgrade in the last several years, 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. For BB&A barracks and for other barrack types, the plumbing design shall duplicate
these requirements to the extent feasible and shall provide systems of essentially identical comfort
levels, life cycle cost effectiveness and quality as the standard design for upgrade of the LBC&W
barracks.
h. Electrical Interior. If the interior electrical wiring is more than 15 years old, it should be
replaced. All of the electrical equipment (receptacles, light fixtures, panel boards) should be
replaced. One possible exception is transformers, which may be in acceptable condition for
continued use. Due to the increased usage and load sizes of electrical appliances by the building
users, as well as potentially increased loads for mechanical equipment, the size of the electrical
service to the building may need to be increased. Electrical equipment rooms are to be provided
separate from other spaces, such as mechanical rooms. Existing electrical equipment spaces may
be inadequate for new equipment or for current electrical working space or ventilation
requirements. Routing of electrical circuits through existing structure may be a physical
challenge. The LBC&W standard design plan to route the electrical, communications and TV
wiring over the roof will result in many roof penetrations, as presently designed. Unless the
building is being provided with a new peaked (gable) roof, leakage is a serious construction and
maintenance concern with this approach.
i. Hazardous and Toxic Materials. Provisions for Hazardous and Toxic Materials (HTM)
investigations must be included in the BUP design packages, for removal of asbestos, lead based
paint, mercury or other hazardous and toxic materials that have been identified for removal (e.g.,
site survey, etc).
