Base Facility Standard, Wright-Patterson AFB, OH Mar 2016

3.6.5 Air Installation Compatibility Use Zone (AICUZ)

The WPAFB AICUZ study of 1995 provides an assessment of noise levels and statistical analysis to determine aircraft Accident Potential Zones (APZ). The goals of the study are to provide protection of the public and compatible development of the lands affected by Base flying operations.

For new construction or major renovation of facilities within the AICUZ noise contours, the A/E shall apply the appropriate level of sound attenuation as determined by Figure 4 of the AICUZ report. New construction must comply with the APZ recommendation in Figure 4 of the AICUZ report. Whenever feasible, major renovations of existing facilities shall also comply with these guidelines in an effort to reduce the population in the APZ.

3.6.6 WPAFB Airport Zoning Ordinance

WPAFB's relationship with the surrounding communities cannot be overlooked. As part of the Joint Land Use Study (JLUS) program, an airport zoning ordinance has been developed in which our AICUZ recommendations have been applied to local zoning and land use policies.

3.6.7 Housing Community Plan (HCP)

An HCP was completed for WPAFB in 1996. This report contains extensive information on both the whole house and the community improvement recommendations. An extensive database is included in the report that contains detailed information on each housing unit on the Base. For projects within the family housing area, this HCP report must be followed.

3.7 Architectural Finishes

Careful and consistent selection of construction materials and finishes is the most critical element of architectural compatibility. Color, texture, and pattern must be considered not only in the context of the building being designed, but also in the larger context of the site and neighboring buildings. Durability and low maintenance are also vital to a successful design (Refer to Section 3.18).

3.7.1 Paint Standards

New buildings constructed at WPAFB shall be designed to require no exterior painting and minimum maintenance. However, because this is an old Base, the need to regularly paint our stock of existing and historic buildings will be with us for the foreseeable future.

Use of semi-gloss, eggshell and other enamelized paint finishes shall be maximized. Use of flat paints shall be minimized.

Paints and coatings applied to exterior building surfaces, equipment and fixtures shall conform to the following palette:

Base Color (defined as 70% +/- of surface area);

Accent Color (defined as 10% +/- of surface area);

Trim Color (defined as 20% +/- of surface area);

Historical Trim Color (applied only within Brick Quarters Historic District).

Paint standards for WPAFB have been organized into a numbering system for coating systems. A Wright-Patterson color number is assigned to a corresponding paint manufacturer color number.

Paint WPAFB Application Color Number

Base Color WP-B1 Accent Color WP-A2 Trim Color WP-T3 Historical Trim Color WP-H4 (Brick Quarters Historical District only)

Surfaces that are to receive a specific coating are to be finished in accordance with the WPAFB Paint Standards published herein. This requirement includes such items installed as part of a construction, infrastructure or utility project. Only WPAFB Color No.’s WP-B1, WP-A2, and WP-T3 are acceptable colors for painted or factory finished items. The ARC must approve deviations from these colors. Colors that have been selected for specific items of facility equipment and fixtures include, but are not limited to the following:

Equipment, Fixture WPAFB or Accessory Color Number

Infrastructure Items Fire Hydrants WP-T3 Tanks WP-B1 Transformers, Switchgear, etc. WP-T3

Building Equipment Louvers WP-A2 or

WP-T3

Building Accessories Recycle Bins/Dumpsters WP-T3

Loading Dock Bollards, Safety Select the Base, Accent, or Trim Color that Railings, & Other Safety will contrast with the adjacent background Equipment not Regulated by color.

OSHA or USAF Safety Regulations.

Note: Avoid painting hand railings and guardrails (except previously painted items).

Use unpainted galvanized (exterior), stainless steel or aluminum railings (interior).

Aluminum with duranodic coatings and/or stainless steel posts, handrails, cable, and miscellaneous fittings (mixed metals only with proper corrosion prevented details) are to be specified in all locations unless exceptions such as remote locations from facilities and industrial sites are approved (galvanized may be acceptable at these locations). Do not use 'field painted' metals

Note: Formulas above are for matching color only! The use of WPAFB color numbers allows each paint manufacturer an equal opportunity to formulate an approved color match for the type of coating selected. Examples shown above in gloss, semi-gloss or flat are not meant to specify type or use in any specific application. Submittals shall indicate type of coating specified with tint base and color to match those listed above.

The WPAFB Paint Standards are dynamic and open to interpretation based upon the circumstances. Contact the ARC for further guidance concerning the application of and deviations from the paint standards.

3.7.2 Fire Hydrants

All hydrant bonnets and cap colors shall be in accordance with NFPA 291 Fire Flow and Marking of Hydrants, based on flow capacity (at 20 psi residual pressure):

1. Class AA – Rated capacity of greater than 1500gpm (5680 L/min) – Light

Blue

2. Class A – Rated Capacity if 1000 – 1499gpm (3785 – 5675 L/min) – Green

3. Class B – Rated capacity of 500 – 999gpm (1900 – 3780 L/min – Orange

4. Class C – Rated capacity of less than 500gpm (1900 L/min) – Red

For rapid identification at night, the capacity colors should be of a reflective-type paint.
