RENOVATION PROJECTS

Sustainment and Restoration……. UFC 3-600-01

1-3.2.4.1 When any portion of a building is modified from its current use to that of a mission essential building for one year or more, the building must meet the requirements for new construction.

Facilities in which alteration, modernization, rehabilitation, and renovation work is less than 50% of the replacement value of the building, the building must comply with the criteria in this UFC for new construction, to the maximum extent practical. All new work accomplished as part of alteration, modernization, modification, rehabilitation, and renovation actions/projects must meet the requirements for new construction.

Renovation to Existing Systems.

Existing Control Panels

Replace existing non-addressable fire alarm panels with a new analog/addressable panel when a project includes fire alarm work.

5-5.1.1 New devices and circuits must be addressable.

5-5.1.2 The existing devices can remain, but must be connected to the new panel via a monitor addressable module or control module.

Complete Replacement

If the existing system is to be completely replaced all conductors must be replaced with new.

Partial Renovation

If the work involves only partial renovation of a facility and is providing a new fire alarm control panel for the renovated areas, demolish the existing FACP. The existing circuits in the areas of the building that is not being renovated may be retained, if not replaced, and connected to the new fire alarm control panel via monitor modules or control modules.

Manual Pull Station

Provide addressable double action type manual pull stations with mechanical reset features. If the manual alarm station requires a key for reset, it must be the same key as required for the fire alarm control panel. 5-6.3
