bonding backbones (TBB), bonding conductors (BC) and telecommunications grounding busbars (TGB). TBBs will be run to the main grounding point in nearby electrical rooms. BC and TGBs will be installed inside each telecom room.
Mechanical
- Anticipated HVAC Per Space Type: This portion of the facility has many areas that require mechanical ventilation and a few spaces that should include cooling. Listed below is a summary of spaces and systems anticipated to serve them:
- a.Fueling Station Areas: Will NOT require mechanical ventilation at each island – one on each end - near the floor to remove vehicle emissions because it is not indoors, with accordance with Florida Mechanical Code and NFPA 30A.
- b.Car Wash Areas: Mechanical air circulation may be provided. As the design is developed, it may be beneficial to provide circulation fans hung from the structure
- similar high volume low velocity fans in warehouses - to improve the working conditions between the car wash and fueling areas.
- c.QTA Support Rooms: Mechanical ventilation shall be provided for the various spaces including storage and equipment rooms. Cooling is anticipated in the air compressor and vacuum system equipment rooms to assure the large motors on these systems do not overheat. Spaces with fuel or other combustible storage will include explosion-proof fans. Ventilation fans and cooling systems are anticipated to be connected to the building control system.
- d.Electrical and Communications/Security Equipment Rooms: A variable refrigerant flow (VRF) system with a cooling unit in each space and one or two condensing units at the top of the garage is anticipated for each vertical group of these type spaces. This solution offers solid energy performance with low maintenance impact. Controls for these units are anticipated to be connected to the building control system for monitoring.
- e.RAC Admin and QTA Support Spaces: These spaces will be served by constant volume DX rooftop unit, one for each tenant. This system type allows individual temperature control for the various tenants, and will be reviewed for the use of VAV Terminals should the need arise for greater flexibility. The space will have a fully designed supply and return ductwork and air distribution in coordination with the tenant's requirements. No cooking is anticipated in these spaces.
Plumbing
- Plumbing: The facility will be provided with the following systems:
- a.Sanitary and vent system.
- b.Domestic water system.
- c.Condensate drainage system.
- d.Storm drainage system.
- e.Fueling system.
