Changes or Criteria Notes to Unified Facilities Guide Specifications (UFGS)
Paragraph # and Title (if any) Note to Designer Change Text
1.6 SUBMITTALS  If 01 33 29 is not incorporated in the specifications, change reference to 01 33 29 in this section to instead say 01 57 19.01 20 SUPPLEMENTAL TEMPORARY ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROLS and ensure the additional sustainable acquisition language at paragraphs "Submittals" and "Sustainable Acquisition" of 01 57 19.01 20 is included within that section.  
1.6 SUBMITTALS  At SD-11, change "Ozone Depleting Substances; S" to the following: EPA SNAP Approved Refrigerants; S
1.6 SUBMITTALS As applicable based on project scope, also incorporate the equipment- and material-related 'S' submittals located at SD-11 under SD-01 Preconstruction Submittals so the Government can verify legal and policy compliance prior to work commencing.  
2.1 PRODUCT SUSTAINABILITY CRITERIA Delete "For products in this section, where applicable and to extent allowed by
performance criteria, provide and document the following:" The language at 01 33 29/01 57 19.01 20 allows for exceptions based on performance criteria, as long as adequate justification per the applicable legal or policy requirement is provided on HJB Form 225.
 
2.1.1 ENERGY EFFICIENT EQUIPMENT FOR WATER SOURCE HEAT PUMP SYSTEMS AND
GROUND SOURCE CLOSED-LOOP HEAT PUMP SYSTEMS
[NOTE: In the column to the right, select 01 33 29 when it is incorporated into the specifications, otherwise select 01 57 19.01 20 and ensure it includes added sustainable acquisition language at paragraphs "Submittals" and "Sustainable Acquisition" of that section]
 
Revise as follows:
Provide equipment and documentation in conformance with
Section [01 33 29 SUSTAINABILITY REPORTING][01 57 19.01 20 SUPPLEMENTAL TEMPORARY ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROLS] paragraph ENERGY EFFICIENT PRODUCTS. See https://sftool.gov/greenprocurement/green-produc./hvacmechanic./a>, https://www.energystar.gov/products?s=mega, and https://www.energy.gov/eere/femp/search-energy-efficient-products for more information.
2.1.2 OZONE DEPLETING SUBSTANCES [NOTE: In the column to the right, select 01 33 29 when it is incorporated into the specifications, otherwise select 01 57 19.01 20 and ensure it includes added sustainable acquisition language at paragraphs "Submittals" and "Sustainable Acquisition" of that section]
 
Change the section and cited paragraph title to "EPA SNAP Approved Refrigerants"  Revise content as follows:
Water source heat pump systems and ground source closed-loop heat pump systems must use only EPA Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) Program-approved refrigerants. Provide documentation in conformance with Section [01 33 29 SUSTAINABILITY REPORTING][01 57 19.01 20 SUPPLEMENTAL TEMPORARY ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROLS] paragraph OZONE DEPLETING SUBSTANCES AND REFRIGERANTS WITH HIGH GLOBAL WARMING POTENTIALS. See https://www.epa.gov/snap/snap-substitutes-sector for more information.
 
Design Requirements
 Where piping is a closed loop system and is subject to the potential for freezing it shall be provided with a 30% glycol mixture as a freeze prevention measure.
