6 Blank 30 April 2007 NG Pam 415-12 1 Chapter 1 General 1-1. Purpose This pamphlet identifies the allowable space criteria for facilities supported by Federal contributions to the State, either totally or in part. It gives information on general construction standards, materials, space allowances, building circulation, and other requirements directly related to programming military construction projects. As such, it is the major reference in preparing DD Forms 1390/1391. 1-2. References Required and related publications are listed in Appendix A. 1-3. Explanation of Abbreviations and Terms Abbreviations and special terms used in this pamphlet are explained in the glossary. 1-4. Applicability The formats, processes and tables of this pamphlet are designed to cover most circumstances commonly met during preparation of military construction programming documents.

7 However, unusual project circumstances may dictate that the State justify and request an exception to criteria from the Army Installations Division (NGB-ARI). In turn, NGB-ARI will ask that the facility proponent on the NGB staff provide a recommendation on the request. 1-5. Common Standards. States shall incorporate into programming documents construction standards identified in special DoD publications (such as antiterrorism/ Force protection) and all environmental protection features required by Federal, State, and local codes and regulations. 1-6. General Construction of Buildings a. Buildings shall be constructed of materials rated as non-combustible. The exterior walls may be brick with concrete masonry unit backup or other suitable systems. In certain instances pre-fabricated metal buildings may be used where economically feasible.

8 In those cases, exterior walls may be veneered with brick when collocated with a readiness center or when justified by environmental and aesthetic considerations of the surrounding facilities and communities. b. Roof systems should normally consist of lightweight joists, non-combustible decking, insulation above decking, and either low slope (built-up, single ply membrane or metal standing seam roof) or hip or gable type construction (metal standing seam, asphalt, or fiberglass shingles). c. Walls and partitions may be drywall, block, or other economically suitable material that will provide a durable structure. d. Floors normally will be concrete. e. Mechanical ventilation may be provided for billeting, latrine, and dining facilities in accordance with the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) Guide and applicable codes.

9 F. Air conditioning requirements for comfort cooling will be evaluated and approved by the installation commander ( , Adjutant General) based on local conditions. The Adjutant General s justification (based on Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) 3-400-02) shall be enclosed with the DD Forms 1390/1391. To determine the tonnage of air conditioning for programming purposes, divide the total floor area for spaces authorized cooling by 300. g. Energy Management Control Systems. Energy Management Control Systems (EMCS) and other energy conservation systems are authorized for the primary facility. For programming purposes, enter a separate line on the DD Form 1391 and compute the requirement at 2% of the cost of the primary facility.

10 H. Emergency power generator pad and house connection/hook-up. (1) For readiness centers, surface and aviation maintenance facilities, and United States Property and Fiscal Officer offices, stand-by power generator sets, an automatic transfer switch, fuel storage tank, and associated piping are authorized to provide electrical power circuits that allow continuous operation of environmental, health, and safety equipment required to support Army national Guard (ARNG) missions during a prolonged power outage. Generator sets are authorized to power the following systems: fire protection and detection, access control, NG Pam 415-12 30 April 2007 2 information technology, communication, lighting, elevators, administrative power, and heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC).
