Use Checklists when reviewing any type of VA construction project for the following disciplines: Architectural, Boiler Safety Devices – Operation Checklist, Electrical, Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning (HVAC), Incineration/Solid Waste, Plumbing, Fire Protection, and Sanitary, Site and Landscape,
Describes a definitive methodology for the design of building-level control systems and strategies (primarily for HVAC) where the intent is to achieve at least a degree of commonality in systems designed and procured through different channels. Common sequences of operation are specified in UFGS 23 09 93.
The SYSTEMS REQUIREMENTS are intended to define items that are required throughout the facility or on a system wide basis that is common to several rooms. Room-specific requirements are defined in the Part 3 Chapter 5 ROOM REQUIREMENTS section.
Building and interior configurations should address both operations and climatic responses. Convey a professional image; avoid trendy patterns and textures. Use materials and finishes that provide a healthy indoor environment. Orient interior spaces toward views while maintaining cost-effective building performance and efficiency.
GENERAL BUILDING REQUIREMENTS. UFC 1-200-01, “General Building Requirements”, provides applicability of model building codes and government-unique criteria for typical design disciplines and building systems, as well as for accessibility, antiterrorism, security, sustainability, and safety.
Development guidelines address issues of building size and massing, definition of open spaces, site character and quality as well as access and circulation. The
