2.7 EQUIPMENT EFFICIENCY

NOTE: Per the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (Section 104), items shall meet the applicable Energy Star or FEMP standard. Specify materials accordingly.

 

2.8.1 REFRIGERANT AND OIL

Replace the main paragraph with the following:

Refrigerants shall have number designations and safety classifications in accordance with ASHRAE 15 & 34. Refrigerants shall meet the requirements of AHRI 700 as a minimum.  Refrigerants shall have an Ozone Depletion Factor (ODF) of 0.05 or less. The ODF shall be in accordance with the "Montreal Protocol On Substances That Deplete The Ozone Layer," September 1987, sponsored by the United Nations Environment Programme.  CFCs[and HCFCs] shall not be permitted.  Refrigerant shall be an approved alternative refrigerant per EPA's Significant New Alternative Policy (SNAP) listing. [Use HCFC-22 refrigerant.]  Provide and install a complete charge of refrigerant for the installed system as recommended by the manufacturer. Lubricating oil shall be of a type and grade recommended by the manufacturer for each compressor. Where color leak indicator dye is incorporated, charge shall be in accordance with manufacturer's recommendation.  Copies of the Safety Data Sheets(SDS) for all hazardous materials shall be submitted in accordance with Section 01 57 19.01 20 SUPPLEMENTAL TEMPORARY ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROLS.

All ozone depleting substances are restricted on JBLM. Any use of such substances on JBLM requires submission of an exemption request form and prior written approval from the JBLM Pollution Prevention Program for actions on JBLM Lewis-Main, Lewis-North, McChord Field, or supported external facilities; or from JBLM-YTC Environmental Compliance for actions on JBLM-YTC. The exemption form can be obtained at ./doc_files/0226%20Restricted%20Chemical%20Exemption%20Request.pdf. In addition, any use of a class I ozone depleting substance requires Army Acquisition Executive approval and will be coordinated through the JBLM Air Program via the Contracting Officer or their representative.

 

Design Requirements

  1. Ductboard is not to be used.  
  2. Filters: 2" thick, 30% efficient, pleated throw-away type are standard filters. Use other types only for unique situations.  
  3. Filter Gauge: Provide filter gauges on filter banks. See DDC standards for requirement for separate device indicating pressure drop to control system.  
  4. Heat Pumps: Provide with cold weather controls and back-up heat.  
  5. AC Units: Provide with low ambient cooling capability.

 

 

Notes to Designers on Drawing Content

  1. Accessibility: Unit and maintainable components must be located so as to be accessible for maintenance. Units, coils, actuated components 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. Units, coils, actuated components and similar items above ceilings shall be accessible from properly sized access doors or removable ceiling panels and be no more than 3 feet above the ceiling.
  2. Removal: Allow adequate room for removal of equipment without removing portions of the building. Allow room for coil pull.
  3. Follow International Mechanical Code Section 306 for Access and Service Space.
