About this file

This is an electrical requirements specification document (DG 415-1) from June 2011 that establishes lighting standards and outlet requirements for the Iowa Department of Public Defense's Boone Army Aviation Support Facility (AASF) modernization project. The document provides detailed functional area specifications for 30 distinct spaces within the facility, including assembly halls, classrooms, training centers, administrative offices, and maintenance areas. Each functional area is assigned specific footcandle (FC) lighting levels ranging from 20 FC in storage areas to 70 FC in classrooms and learning centers, with corresponding electrical outlet requirements based on linear footage or square footage measurements. The specification includes specialized requirements for high-security areas such as the SIPRNET Room (50 FC with 1 duplex per wall), flammable materials storage (30 FC, explosion-proof), and the indoor firing range with tiered lighting demands of 50 FC for general lighting, 60 FC at the firing line, and 100 FC for direct/indirect target lighting. All electrical systems must comply with NFPA 70 (National Electrical Code) and IESNA Lighting Handbook standards, with lighting power densities meeting ANSI/ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1-2004 for energy efficiency.

The specification establishes that general administrative and support areas should utilize T-8 fluorescent lamps with high-efficiency electronic ballasts to achieve 0.85 Watts/square foot lighting power density targets. Specialized areas designated as classified or explosion-proof zones require construction meeting those specifications for both lighting and power outlets. The document mandates multi-level switching or dimming capabilities in applicable spaces and notes that additional power provisions should be made for programmed equipment. Ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection is required for moisture-prone areas such as toilets, showers, and locker rooms. This electrical specification document serves as a technical foundation for the LED retrofit project encompassing 34,185 square feet at the facility, providing detailed parameters that contractors must meet during the modernization and installation of energy-efficient lighting systems and controls.
