G.
Manufacturing: Refers to the final assembly of components into the building product.
H.
Ozone Depleting Substances: Materials and chemical compounds that are destructive to the ozone layer.
CFCs and HCFCs, aerosol sprays, and other similar substances are considered “ozone depleting.”
I.
Rapidly Renewable Materials: Agricultural products, both fiber and animal, that take 10 years or less to grow
or raised and can be harvested in a sustainable fashion.
J.
Recycled Content: The recycled content value of a material assembly shall be determined by weight. The
recycled fraction of the assembly is then multiplied by the cost of assembly to determine the recycled
content value.
1.
2.
K.
"Post-consumer" material is defined as waste material generated by households or by commercial,
industrial, and institutional facilities in their role as end users of the product, which can no longer be
used for its intended purpose.
"Pre-consumer" material is defined as material diverted from the waste stream during the
manufacturing process. Excluded is reutilization of materials such as rework, regrind, or scrap
generated in a process and capable of being reclaimed within the same process that generated it.
Regional Materials: Materials that have been extracted, harvested, or recovered, as well as manufactured,
within 500 miles of Project site. If only a fraction of a product or material is extracted/harvested/recovered
and manufactured locally, then only that percentage (by weight) shall contribute to the regional value.

number of corrugations found in the usual short thermostat. Thus, the total expansion is divided over
these numerous corrugations, so that the flexing of each is reduced to mere thousandths of an inch with
resulting long life of the instrument. The action of the thermostatic element shall move a position over
the hot and cold water openings, opening the cold as it reduces the opening of the hot, thus uniformly
blending the hot and cold water, producing an even temperature of the delivered water without any
change in volume. This action eliminates the building up of temperature in fast circulating systems at
times when little or no hot water is being used.

A. Interior Drainage Systems:
1. Soil, waste, vent, and drain piping for sanitary and storm drainage, shall be of the sizes noted, and
shall be run as indicated. Pipes must be run in straight lines and have a uniform grade between
elevations noted. No branch drain shall have a grade less than that indicated for the main drain to
which it is connected. Where elevations are not given, horizontal pipes shall have a uniform grade of
1/4 inch per foot where possible but in no case less than 1/8 inch per foot and shall be installed to the
inverts shown. All piping shall be adequately supported as specified in Division 23, Section
“Mechanical and Electrical General Provisions”. All main vertical soil and waste stacks shall be
extended as vents full size to approximately 18 inches above the roof of the building. Two (2) or
more vent lines shall be connected together where practicable and extended as one (1) pipe through
the roof. Vent pipes in roof spaces shall be run as close as possible to the underside of the roof
without forming traps in pipes. Vent pipes may be connected to other vent pipes or to main vent
stacks provided the connections are at least four (4) feet above the floor on which the fixtures are
located so that no vent pipe can be used as a waste. Openings in roof for vent pipes shall be flashed
and made watertight. Use vent stack flashing sleeves where applicable. Handicapped plumbing
fixtures shall be rough-in to suit the specific mounting of the fixture. Waste lines shall be offset for
lavatories and sinks to accommodate wheelchair type strainers and traps shall be insulated.
2. Changes in direction shall be made by appropriate use of forty-five (45) degree wyes, 1/2 wyes, or
long sweep 1/4, 1/6, 1/8, or 1/16 bends. Sanitary tees or short quarter bends may be used on vertical
stacks of drainage lines where change in direction of flow is from horizontal to vertical; except use
long turn tee wyes when two (2) fixtures have common drain. Straight tees, elbows, and crosses may
be used on vent lines. Make no change in direction of flow greater than ninety (90) degrees. Where
different sizes of drainage pipes or pipes and fittings are to be connected, use standard increasers and
reducers of proper size. Reduction of size in horizontal drainage piping in direction of flow is
prohibited.
3. Drilling and tapping of drains, soil, waste, or vent piping, and use of saddle hubs and bands are
prohibited.
4. Connect piping to fixtures or equipment by couplings or unions so that devices may be replaced with
no disturbance to piping.

PART 2 - PRODUCTS
2.1
MATERIALS
A.
All materials shall be new, the best of their respective kinds, suitable for the conditions and duties
imposed on them at the building, and shall be of reputable manufacturers'. The description,
characteristics, and requirements of materials to be used shall be in accordance with qualifying conditions
established in the sections following.
B.
All component parts of each items of equipment or device shall bear the manufacturers' name plate;
giving name of manufacturer, description, size, type, serial or model number, electrical characteristics,
etc., in order to facilitate the maintenance or replacement. The name plate of a subcontractor or
distributor will not be acceptable. Where Underwriters' Laboratories standards apply, material and
equipment shall be approved by them and shall bear the UL Label.
C.
In specifying materials, three (3) general procedures are used. The three (3) classifications are as follows:
GROUP 1: When a material or equipment is specified by brand name or other identifying information
and three (3) or more brands are named it is considered that any one (1) of the brands so named will
perform as desired, and the Contractor shall base his proposal on one (1) of the named brands. The first
brand named or identified basis of design shall be used as a standard. The other brands named shall be
equal to the specified brand in all respects. If one (1) of the other brands named is used it shall be the
Contractor's responsibility to verify proper clearances and fit of the substituted equipment.
GROUP 2: When the material or equipment is specified with the phrase "...or equal..." after a brand
name and other identifying information, it is intended that the brand name is used for the purpose of
establishing a minimum acceptable standard of quality and performance and Contractor may base his bid
proposal on any item which is in all respects equal to that specified and presents essentially the same
appearance. It shall be the Contractor's responsibility to ensure proper fit and clearances of all substituted
equipment.
GROUP 3: When material is specified as complying with the requirements of published "Standard
Specification" of trade associations, American Society of Testing and Materials, government
specifications, etc. the Contractor shall base his proposal on any item which can be shown to comply in
all respects to the referred "Standard Specification".
1.
It is distinctly understood: (1) that the Architect will use his own judgment in determining
whether or not any materials, equipment or methods offered in substitution are equal to those
specified; (2) that the decision of the Architect on all such questions of equality is final; and (3)
that all substitutions will be made at no increase in cost to the Owner.
2.
Upon receipt of written approval from Architect, Contractor may proceed with substitution
providing Contractor assumes full responsibility for, and makes, at his own expense, any changes
or adjustments in construction or connection with other work that may be required by the
substitution of such materials, equipment or methods. In the event of any adverse decisions by the
Architect no claim of any sort shall be made or allowed against the Owner.

without generating noise levels above the limitations prescribed by the Contract Documents.
Adjust patterns of adjustable outlets for proper distribution without drafts.
PROCEDURES FOR VARIABLE-AIR-VOLUME SYSTEMS
A.
Compensating for Diversity: When the total airflow of all terminal units is more than the indicated
airflow of the fan, place a selected number of terminal units at a maximum set-point airflow condition
until the total airflow of the terminal units equals the indicated airflow of the fan. Select the reduced
airflow terminal units so they are distributed evenly among the branch ducts.
B.
Pressure-Independent, Variable-Air-Volume Systems: After the fan systems have been adjusted, adjust
the variable-air-volume systems as follows:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
3.7
Set outside-air dampers at minimum, and return- and exhaust-air dampers at a position that
simulates full-cooling load.
Select the terminal unit that is most critical to the supply-fan airflow and static pressure. Measure
static pressure. Adjust system static pressure so the entering static pressure for the critical
terminal unit is not less than the sum of the terminal unit manufacturer's recommended minimum
inlet static pressure plus the static pressure needed to overcome terminal-unit discharge duct
losses.
Measure total system airflow. Adjust to within indicated airflow.
Set terminal units at maximum airflow and adjust controller or regulator to deliver the designed
maximum airflow. Use terminal unit manufacturer's written instructions to make this adjustment.
When total airflow is correct, balance the air outlets downstream from terminal units as described
for constant-volume air systems.
Set terminal units at minimum airflow and adjust controller or regulator to deliver the designed
minimum airflow. Check air outlets for a proportional reduction in airflow as described for
constant-volume air systems.
a.
If air outlets are out of balance at minimum airflow, report the condition but leave the
outlets balanced for maximum airflow.
Remeasure the return airflow to the fan while operating at maximum return airflow and minimum
outside airflow. Adjust the fan and balance the return-air ducts and inlets as described for
constant-volume air systems.
Measure static pressure at the most critical terminal unit and adjust the static-pressure controller at
the main supply-air sensing station to ensure adequate static pressure is maintained at the most
critical unit.
Record the final fan performance data.
GENERAL PROCEDURES FOR EQUIPMENT
A.
Conduct performance tests only after the air and water systems have been balanced and the proper flow
rates established.
B.
Test and record capacity of heat transfer equipment including all coils. Air side and water side capacities
must agree within five (5) percent of each other. Include the manufacturer's rated capacity at the test
operating conditions with the report. Perform tests where possible at design conditions. If tests are not
performed under design conditions, interpolate results to determine capacity at full load operating
conditions.
C.
Calculate efficiency of pumps and fans by recognized methods using test data.
