1.
The indoor design conditions are not operating limits.
All room thermostats shall be adjustable between
15C (60F) and 29C (85F). with an adjustable dead
band of 3C (6F). Exception: Areas where
mechanical cooling is not required.
2.
The summer inside design relative humidity listed in
table 2.1 need not be maintained by any humidity
control. This value merely represents the design
reference point and, in actual practice, could vary with
the prevailing internal heat loads and coil leaving
conditions.
3.
Toilets do not require individual room temperature
control in the cooling mode. For exterior single toilets,
provide thermostatically controlled heating terminal
devices to maintain space temperature in the winter
mode.
4.
In the absence of any heat producing equipment,
cooling or heating is not required for small electrical
and telephone closets. Storage closets, with areas
less than 6 m2 (60 sq. ft.), need not be ventilated,
cooled or heated.
2.2
BUILDING THERMAL ENVELOPE: The building thermal
envelope for cemetery buildings shall be energy efficient to
minimize the heat gain and loss due to conduction and
solar radiation. The building envelope shall minimize the air
leakage to and from the occupied space and shall also
ensure condensation control.
A.
RECOMMENDED "U" VALUES: The following
represents the recommended "U" values for walls, roof
and glass and the Shading Coefficient (SCs) of glass
for new construction. These values should be used to
meet the overall U factor for the building gross wall
area as defined in the next paragraph.
