Item # 3.2.6 - Controls and Instrumentation: POOR

The HVAC system in the building is controlled by local thermostats that are of various types and ages. Because the zones of the buildings are so large and feed multiple use spaces, these thermostats cannot be accessed by all occupants making thermal comfort difficult. All these devices are in poor condition.

Item # 3.4.1 - Electrical Service and Distribution: POOR

The electric system is serviced by Jackson Energy. The service is stepped down via a 300KVA pad mounted transformer, to a

480Y/277V, 1000A, 3P, 4W main distribution panelboard. The

MDP then feeds multiple 208Y/120V, 3P, 4W branch panelboards (400A &100A). The MDP and branch panel boards seem to be original to the building and were manufactured by

Federal Pacific Energy. All panelboards are in poor condition.

The MDP is lacking in capacity for spare breakers and space.

The branch panel boards have slightly more capacity but lacking if any renovation is planned.

Branch panelboards, disconnects, and transformers are located in a janitors closet and have severe clearance and spacing issues. No surge protection is present

Any major renovation should completely replace the existing distribution system. The Federal Pacific Energy panelboards are obsolete, and it is recommended that they are replaced with new panelboards with more capacity for breakers.

Exit signs and emergency egress lighting are fed from either integral battery packs or remote mounted battery units;

however, several areas are lacking in emergency lighting. The emergency lighting that is existing seems to be non-functional.

Exterior emergency egress lighting is lacking per NEC requirements.

Due to updated energy codes (currently 2012 International

Energy Conservation Code (IECC)), it is recommended to replace the existing lighting with energy efficient LED luminaires and provide updated lighting controls. Lighting controls should consist of occupancy sensors, daylight sensors and dimming capabilities.

(ISS) and associated intercom system to comply with the current Court Facilities Design guide.

In conjunction with the above improvements, a future project shall include providing dedicated telecommunications equipment rooms as required. Each room shall be provided with HVAC equipment sized as necessary to accommodate heat rejection of the active equipment. Sizing of these new rooms shall be based on meeting present and future needs.
