CALGreen – The maintenance staff needs to undergo systems operation training for equipment’s and systems involved in the running of the building efficiently. The training program includes system manual, operation and maintenance (O&M) documentation and record drawings.
CALGreen – The Basis of Design (BOD) documents the thought processes and assumptions behind design decisions being made to meet the Owner’s Project Requirements (OPR). The OPR is intended to capture the need and expectation from the project.
CALGreen – Excavated soil means soil removed from the surface or subsurface. Land clearing debris means rocks, soils, tree remains, trees, and other vegetative matter that normally results from land clearing or land development operations for a construction project.
CALGreen – Recycling offers financial benefits for construction. There are many recyclers who charge very little to accept construction waste, which can be reprocessed, particularly if it is separated from other materials. Furthermore, recycling can decrease your material transportation and dumping costs.
CALGreen – Owner’s Project Requirement is the functional requirements of the expectations of the facilities and systems that is the foundation for successful delivery of a project defined by the owner. It is one of the documents to be written at the Pre-Design Stage, which should clearly define the expected functional requirements, operation, and acceptance of a building.
CALGreen-Fresh Air – Ventilation is the essential process of replacing stale air with fresh air. Proper ventilation in buildings helps curb the spread of allergens and toxins in the air. It helps to moderate internal temperatures, internal humidity, replenishing oxygen, reducing the accumulation of moisture, odours, bacteria, dust, carbon dioxide, smoke and other contaminants that can build up during occupied periods.
California Green Building Code (CALGreen) – Fireplaces Fireplaces raises smoke, this contaminated air should not be mixed with indoor air. This California Green Building Code
California Green Building Code CALGreen – Filters – Air Filter system potentially removes solid airborne particles in a specific space, if inhaled in the lungs, it is generally harmful to human health. It protects their occupants against external and internal sources of air contaminants and improve their comfort, health and productivity with clean indoor air. It filters harmful particles such as germs, dust, pollen, powder, mold, fibers, etc.
California Green Building Code -CALGreen proposes to prohibit smoking in the public areas of the building except in designated smoking areas.
CALGreen Code Section 5.508.2: Supermarket refrigerant leak reduction.
New commercial refrigeration systems shall comply with the provisions of this section when installed in retail food stores 8,000 square feet or more conditioned area, and that utilize either refrigerated display cases, or walk-in coolers or freezers connected to remote compressor units or condensing units.
