- 18 things to consider when addressing WATER AND MOISTURE CONTROL1. Floodproofing by siting structures outside of flood plains, elevating buildings, or using methods of dry or wet floodproofing
2. Providing proper flashing details at all roof penetrations, junctions, and terminations.
3. Using sealants or backing materials at junctions of vertical surfaces
4. Using flashing, overlapping materials, and sealants at openings in vertical surfaces
5. Selecting appropriate sealants with proper width-to-depth ratios at joints
6. Sloping ground surfaces away from buildings for positive drainage
7. Providing waterproof waterproof membranes and subsurface drains at building perimeters and, in some cases, under floor slabs
8. Providing vapor barriers on the warm side of walls and roofs, combined with adequate ventilation to control condensation. - 25 things to consider when addressing THERMAL CONTROL1. Sunshades appropriate to a building's solar orientation
2. Insulating materials that are integral parts of construction assemblies
3. Manufactured assemblies with appropriate thermal control features
4. Details that accommodate thermal expansion and contraction
5. Expansion and control joints for masonry, concrete, and plaster. - 3Preferred Noise Criteria (PNC)The level of noise which a reciever can tolerate
- 4Sound Transmission Class (STC)The method of rating the acoustical efficiency of various wall and floor systems in isolating airborne sound transmission
A higher number means higher effiency - 5Impact Isolation Class (IIC)A numeric rating system which estimates the impact sound isolation performance of floor/ceiling systems
- 6Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC)A rating that compares absorption capabilities of acoustical materials
- 74 things to consider when addressing ACOUSTICAl CONTROL1. Sound source, path, and reciever
2. Sound Transmission Class (STC) and Impact Isolation Class (IIC) ratings of wall and floor assemblies that equal or exceed required Noise Reduction Criteria (NRC)
3. Sealing joints, openings, and other penetrations in walls and ceilings/floors between spaces
4. Sounds absorption within spaces - 8Life Cycle CostingAnalysis of tradeoffs between initial and long-term costs
EX: DIfference between replacing a system or component every 10 years vs purchasing one that will last 20 years - 94 things to consider when addressing DURABILITY AND FINISH TOLERANCES1. There are dimensional variances within materials
2. The accuracy and precision of building construction is limited by the ability of materials and workers to perform within their inherent limitations.
3. High levels of precision may be costly and unnecessary
4. Where great precision with minimum tolerances is mandatory, it should be specified. - 103 things to consider when addressing AESTHETICS1. Samples approved by architect become the standard against which actual installations are compared
2. Visual mockups may be used to demonstate a contractor's abilities, and the system's performance
3. Mockups are expensive, so only specify them when necessary. - 115 basic concepts of FIRE CODE PROTECTION1. A fire in one building should not damage another building
2. A building's construction should be able to withstand the effects of fire for a specified period of time
3. The more hazardous the use, the more protection the building's construction must provide
4. As the size of a building or the number of its occupants increases, the fire protection, fire separation, and means of egress also increase
5. Occupants should be provided with a direct and safe means of escape from a building in the event of a fire - 12"Protected"Having fire resistive protection, such as sprayed fire-proofing on concrete around structural streel construction
- 13"Combustible"A material that can ignite
- 1410 LIFE SAFETY CODE GOALS1. To provide for adequate exits without dependence on any one safeguard
2. To ensure that construction is sifficient to provide structural integrity during a fire while occupants are exiting
3. To provide exits that have been designed to the size, shape, and nature of the occupancy
4. To ensure that the exits are clear, unnobstructed, and unlocked
5. To eensure that the exits and routes of escape are clearly marked so that there is no confusion in reaching an exit
6. To provide adequate lighting
7. To ensure early warning of fire
8. To provide for backup or redundant exit arrangements
9. To ensure the suitable enclosure of vertical openings
10. To make allowances for those ddesign criteria that go beyond provisions and are tailored to the normal use and needs of the occupancy in question - 1510 GENERAL AREAS OF ADA LEGISLATION1. Walks, ramps, stiars, and circulation routes
2. Parking space size, number, and location
3. Site furniture
4. Tactile, visual, and audible warning signals
5. Overhanging and projecting objects
6. Entries, doorways, and hardware
7. Elevators
8. Floor surfaces
9. Water closets, drinking fountains, toilet stalls, urinals, lavatories and mirrors, dispensers, and receptacles
10. Electrical systems, outlets, switches, and telephones - 164 things to consider when addressing CODE COMPLIANCE1. Codes are intended to provide minimum standards of building design for the protection of persons and property
2. The greater the risk, the greater the level of protection required
3. In order for codes to be enforced, they must be adopted by an enforcing agency of the federal, state, or local government
4. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is federal civil rights legislation, not a building code - 17NFPANational Fire Protection Association
codes designed to protect human life
