16.  ENERGY AND ENERGY ANALYSIS (11.15.96)                        


     A.   Energy

          The University regards the reduction of energy
          consumption as an important objective in all University
          facilities.

          To comply with the requirements of this manual, the 
          design shall meet the Energy Performance Index, using the
          procedures detailed in the University Manual in order to
          demonstrate that the design meets the energy performance
          criteria.

          To be fully cost effective, energy conservation measures
          must be given early and careful consideration during the
          design phase of a new construction project.  To ensure
          that energy conservation is given priority status, an
          independent Energy Analyst shall be utilized.  The role
          of this Energy Analyst shall be to:

          1.   Review and coordinate all disciplines within the
               design team to achieve the most optimal energy
               efficient design;

          2.   Review architectural, mechanical, and lighting
               submissions for compliance with energy guidelines
               developed by the University, prior to submission to
               the University;

          3.   Perform energy and life cycle analysis, to
               influence the building design to minimize future
               energy expenditures, and to achieve the
               University's desired energy budget;

          4.   Attend early design meetings to address building
               site, orientation, and shape as factors in energy
               consumption;

          5.   Calculate the projected energy cost of various
               design alternatives, as requested by the
               University;

          6.   Prepare required energy reports and certificates to
               obtain PEPCO rebates and for other purposes.


          In addition, the University intends to take advantage of
          PEPCO's New Building Design Program whenever it is cost
          effective to do so.  Accordingly, a design study or
          building simulation based upon the requirements of the
          PEPCO New Building Design Program, Option 1,
          Comprehensive Incentive Plan shall be provided.  A list
          of the conservation technologies to be included in the
          study are to be submitted to the University during the
          initial stages of the study.  Various energy conservation
          equipment and building components shall be considered in
          the study, and these considerations shall be available to
          the University for reviews.  All the required information
          shall be submitted to PEPCO including application forms. 
          Besides the information which PEPCO requires, the study
          shall provide life cycle costing, to include cost
          comparisons between standard equipment and building
          components and those recommended, energy and PEPCO
          incentive savings, and simple payback.

          In designing for energy conservation, the entire facility
          shall be considered, its site and prevailing climatic
          conditions.  Interactions among these elements as well as
          the facility's energy using systems must be taken into
          account.  Design elements and sub-systems must be
          analyzed to arrive at the most appropriate mix of energy
          conservation measures.

     B.   Energy Analysis

          Any building includes a diverse collection of spaces and
          functions with varying environmental requirements. 
          Therefore, a system that is both efficient and
          functionally responsive shall be developed.  This
          includes conducting a comprehensive Energy Study of the
          building and a cost/benefit analysis of available energy
          saving alternatives.  The following considerations have
          been specifically designated for evaluation.  Other such
          considerations shall be investigated which affect the
          quality of the building environment and the cost of
          operating its system.

          1.   Design variations in the fenestration, thermal
               resistance for the exterior surfaces, and building
               geometries which take advantage of passive energy
               conservation systems.

          2.   Systems selection contingent on life cycle cost and
               compatibility with building needs.  A minimum of
               three different systems are to be analyzed.

          3.   Instrumentation of the building so that the
               building automatic central control systems will
               monitor and control the various components.

          4.   Functional zoning of the building by use and
               exposure.

          At the Design Development submittal stage, provide a
          formal written analysis to include, but not limited to:

          1.   Single line, conceptualized schematic system
               drawings on floor plans.  All HVAC duct work shall
               be drawn double line in plan view regardless of
               scale.

          2.   Heating, ventilating, and air conditioning block
               and zone load calculations.

          3.   Economic cost/benefit study of the system chosen
               and compared to alternatives chosen.

          4.   A computer energy analysis of the building system's
               energy consumption, operation, and maintainability
               over a period of not less than five years to
               compare life cycle costs for the various HVAC
               systems.  It is desired to obtain from this
               analysis the projected cost of operation by varying
               hours of use and occupancy in the computer program. 
               One of the following shall be used:

          3.   Design applications of 8 foot fluorescent lamping
               shall not be permitted.  Tandem 4 foot fixtures
               shall be utilized.

     F.   Corridors

          1.   Corridor lighting will be served via dedicated
               circuits with only hallway lighting and one level
               associated with that circuit.  Corridors may be
               served by a 2 lamp system with aluminum reflector
               or a 3 or 4 lamp with standard white reflector. 
               Black reflectors shall be prohibited.

          2.   Corridor lighting of clear alzak aluminum, semi-
               specular, reflectors in a compact fluorescent
               downlighting fixture is preferred.

     G.   Lamping

          1.   Lamping in any compact fluorescent shall include

     H.   Recessed Lighting

          1.   Shall apply compact fluorescent lamping (twin
               tubes) whenever dimming function is not required
               and illumination levels can be achieved.

          2.   Dimming applications shall incorporate 90 watt,
               incandescent halogen type lamps for general 150 PAR
               lamping applications.

               For fluorescent applications, fluorescent dimming
               may be utilized, but each use will be scrutinized,
               because of the high cost of dimming ballasts. 
               Options to change lighting levels via switching
               shall be reviewed.

          3.   Recessed applications involving heights greater
               than 12' ceilings with no dimming requirement,
               shall be metal halide for maximum burning and
               illumination levels.

     I.   Lenses

          1.   Lenses shall be either diffuser type or 3.5" louver
               type.  Shallow parabolic will not be considered
               except in areas designated for general purpose
               computer use where glare is being controlled.

          2.   Parabolic diffusers shall not be used in rest
               rooms, storage rooms, corridors, mechanical rooms
               and housekeeping closets.  Acrylic diffusers are
               acceptable.



16.  SECURITY EGRESS SYSTEM FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES    
     (5.1.96)

     Currently, many facilities that have handicap door openers do
     not have the electronic panic bar.  The handicap door opener
     is activated by the handicap door switch.  During the day the

     door is unlocked and the opener can operate without
     resistance.  The door is locked at night.  When the door is
     locked and the latch prevents the door from opening. 
     Therefore, when the handicap switch is pressed, the door does
     not open.  This condition traps individuals with disabilities
     in the building.

     To alleviate this problem, the following design criteria has
     been established:

     A.   Install an electric panic bar on each door equipped with
          a handicap door opener.

     B.   Interface the door opener with the electric panic bar.

     Reference attached specifications (MPB-851 Mini Power Supply
     with delayed relocking module and electric latch retraction)
     and drawings (No. 9510-3 and 9510-4).  In addition, reference
     Section 8., Finishes and Windows (Hardware) and Section 16.,
     Electrical and (Security Guidelines).



16.  SECURITY GUIDELINES (5.1.96)                                


     A.   All security measures and systems shall be coordinated
          through The Department of Physical Plant, Loss Prevention
          Division (LPD) and incorporate the following:

          1.   Doors

               a.   All entrances shall have an alarm/access
                    control system connected to LPD's main
                    computer.  Each door shall be equipped with
                    either an alarm, a card reader, electric
                    locking devices, and any other necessary
                    equipment to operate the system.  Access shall
                    be controlled by a computer coded card. 
                    Designated doors can be locked or unlocked
                    from the main computer at LPD. (Also Reference
                    Section 16. Security Egress System for
                    Individuals with Disabilities.)

               b.   All exterior doors to be provided with conduit
                    and wiring for future installation of
                    automatic door operators and a card access
                    system.

               c.   Pairs of exterior doors shall have removable
                    mullions for improved security.

               d.   Any required second means of egress shall
                    accommodate wheelchair users.

               e.   All exterior doors which are designated as
                    "EXIT ONLY" shall be installed without
                    hardware on the exterior.

               f.   Service and rear entry doors shall be as
                    entry-proof as possible.  All doors shall have
                    hinge pins which are not exposed to public
                    areas/exterior.

               g.   Garage, service, and rear entry doors are to
                    be as entry-proof as possible.  They should be
                    constructed of heavy-duty construction with
                    locking systems which provide an appropriate
                    degree of security.

          2.   Security Alarm System

               a.   Alarm system controls shall be by Moose
                    Products; access control equipment shall be by
                    Northern Computers; other devices to be by
                    approved vendors per LPD.

               b.   All security alarm equipment and access
                    control system equipment shall be installed in
                    an independent Security Closet.  LPD shall
                    provide exact requirements for location and
                    required electrical service.

          3.   Long corridors should be avoided.

          4.   Rest rooms and stairwells should not be separated
               from areas of high usage.

          5.   Different units within the facility shall be
               separately securable without interfering with
               required egress routes from the building.

          6.   Ground floor windows are discouraged.  If
               installed, ground windows shall be constructed to
               prevent easy entry into the building.

               Surface materials or windows which can be easily
               vandalized should be avoided.  In the event other
               criteria dictates the requirement for operable
               windows, methods for securing these windows are to
               be provided.  Methodology for securing operable
               windows is to be coordinated with the DPP Office of
               Loss Prevention.

          7.   New or expanded stairwells and elevators must
               utilize public spaces for access and egress. 
               Elevators or stairwells should not allow access
               directly into private office areas which would
               jeopardize security to the area.

     B.   All departmental and administrative offices should be
          equipped with heavy duty locksets with anti-friction
          latch bolts approved by the University DPP Lock Shop.

PART 3 - DESIGN REQUIREMENTS

3.01 DESIGN CALCULATIONS

A.   Design calculations and data sheets shall be set out in a
     systematic manner to enable an accurate assessment of the
     equipment/system proposed.  Initial design calculations shall be
     submitted at the design development stage.  Revised calculations
     shall be submitted at 50% and 95% construction documents stages. 
     Complete final calculations shall be submitted at 100%
     construction document stage.  All calculations shall be
     presented on applicable forms and all literature used in the
     determination of the calculations shall be referenced.  These
     calculations shall include, but not be limited to:

     1.   Short circuit calculations using ohmic or per-unit method
          (refer to IEEE Trans. Vol 1AG-3, No.2, Mar/Apr 1967) for
          the entire electrical system including all panelboards (480
          volt as well as 208 volts panels), and switchboards,
          considering the motor contributions.

     2.   All feeder voltage drop calculations, including short time
          drops (dips) caused by large motor starting to assure that
          resulting light flicker is within acceptable limits.

     3.   Lighting budget calculations and shall comply with ASHRAE
          90 and performed for the entire facility.

     4.   Lighting level calculations shall comply with IES and be
          performed for all areas by using zonal cavity method.  Also
          submit point-to-point calculations for outside lighting
          such as security and parking and open-bay areas inside the
          building.  The power requirement for lighting shall not
          exceed the budget calculations per article 3.01.A.3.

     5.   Power factor correction required for each and/or all of the
          motor loads, and provide the sizes of all such devices and
          locations.

     6.   Identify the demand factor used for each type of load for
          estimating the service size.  Also, identify the connected
          load and the demand loads.

     7.   Load analysis of all equipment connected to emergency
          generator.  All loads connected shall be considered
          continuous.

     8.   Lightning protection shall be evaluated for a risk
          assessment and calculations showing ground requirements for
          the system.  Identify and calculate the zones of protection
          and show the total envelope of protection to be covered by
          the system.

     9.   Outdoor transformer and switch pad grounding grid
          calculation as per ANSI/IEEE 80.

B.   COMPUTER CALCULATION.  When computer calculations are included
     with design calculations the following documentation shall be
     furnished as a minimum:

     1.   A synopsis of the computer program(s) stating briefly;
          required input; method of solution; approximations used;
          second order analysis incorporated; specifications or codes
          used; cases considered; output generated; extent of
          previous usage or certification of program(s) and
          program(s) author.

     2.   Identification by number, indexing, and cross referencing
          of all calculation sheets, including supplemental "long-hand" calculation sheet.

     3.   Fully identified, dimensioned, and annotated diagrams of
          each member or structure being considered.
