Design Requirements
a. See UFGS 23 52 00 for comments related to hot water heating piping.
b. See UFGS 23 82 02.00 10 for comments relating to heat pumps, AC units, and similar equipment.
c. See UFGS 23 64 26 for comments relating to chilled water piping systems.
Notes to Designers on Drawing Content
1. Zoning: A separate VAV box (or similar zoning device) is not necessary for every single office. Use zoning similar to as found in standard private sector commercial offices when designing office areas.
2. Accessibility: Unit must be located so as to be accessible for maintenance. Units, coils, VAV boxes, and similar items shall not be located more than 12 feet above the floor unless a catwalk, mezzanine or similar platform is designed at the units to allow for proper maintenance.
3. Removal: Allow adequate room for removal of equipment without removing portions of the building. Allow room for coil pull.
