6. Utility and emergency egress doors shall match the wall color.

7. Passive thermal comfort methods of ventilation are encouraged where life cycle cost justified.

8. Windows must meet force protection requirements.

9. Adjacent joint sealants should be slightly darker than the frame color.

10. Manufacturers listed below are only provided to establish a baseline of equivalency among all applicable manufacturers.

D06.4. Hardware

1. Provide hardware appropriate for the Facility Group while considering activity and frequency of use and local climate;

hardware may be of higher visual quality for Facility Group 1.
