Statement of Requirements

PROJECT X FANS B1446

1.0 PURPOSE: The purpose of this project is to enhance student safety and maintain training effectiveness by mitigating the significant risk of heat-related injuries.

Building 1446 is a covered, outdoor facility with 19 distinct training bays used for Field Leadership events at Squadron Officer School (SOS). The facility is not climate-controlled, and during summer months, ambient temperatures can pose a significant risk of heat-related injuries to students. The purpose of this project is to procure and install a complete, turnkey industrial fan system to mitigate this risk. This system will enhance student safety, protect the health and welfare of personnel, and ensure an effective training environment by generating consistent airflow throughout the 19 training bays.
