PURPOSE To provide general design criteria (GDC) for use in the
acquisition of the Department’s facilities and to establish
responsibilities and authorities for the development and maintenance of
these criteria.
CANCELLATION. DOE 6430.1, GENERAL DESIGN CRITERIA, of 12-12-83.
SCOPE. The provisions of this Order apply to all Departmental Elements
except as otherwise provided by statute or by specific delegation of
authority from the Secretary of Energy, and all contractors and
subcontractors performing work for the Department whose contract may
involve planning, design, or facility acquisitions. This includes
DOE-owned, -leased, or -controlled sites where Federal funds are used
totally or in part, except where otherwise authorized by separate statute
or where specific exemptions are granted by the Secretary or his designee.
APPLICABILITY.
a. The GDC provided by this Order shall be applied to all facilities
which shall be reported on in the Department’s Real Property
Inventory System (RPIS), or which shall be reported on in the
General Services Administration’s annual “Summary Report of Real
Property Owned by the United States Throughout the World.”
b. The GDC provided by this Order are not intended to provide complete
coverage for the diverse facilities by type and complexity that are
needed to support the varied Departmental program-mission
requirements. Specific project criterta and/or specifications need to
be developed to satisfy the needs for a particular facility,
incorporating applicable requirements of these general design criteria
and supplemented with required criteria from applicable codes and
standards.
c. It is recognized that many of the Departmental organizations having
responsibilities for facility planning, design, and construction may
establish and apply more comprehensive criteria to satisfy the
particular program mission or operating requirements. There is no

intent that the GDC take precedence over such other criteria, where
those criteria meet or exceed the GDC requirements. Where there
exists a conflict between those criteria and the GDC provided by this
Order, however, the GDC governs.
5. REFERENCES.
a. DOE 4700.1, PROJECT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, of 3-6-87, which establishes
the Department’s project management system and provides implementing
instructions, formats, and procedures, and sets forth the principles
and requirements which govern the development, approval, and execution
of the Department’s outlay program acquisitions as embodied in the
project management system.

Section 14
Explosives hazard Class I. Class I consists of those explosives activities involving a high
potential for an accident that is unacceptable for the exposure of any personnel, thus
requiring remote operations. In general, this would include activities where the energies that
may interface with the explosives are approaching the upper limits of safety, and/or loss of
control of the energy is likely to exceed the safety limits for the explosives involved. This
category includes those research and development activities where the safety implications
have not been fully characterized. Examples of class I activities are screening blending,
pressing, extrusion, drilling of holes, dry machining, some wet machining, machining
Abbreviations and glossary DOE 6430.1A
Page 16 4-6-89
explosives and metal in combination, development of some new explosives or explosives
processing methods, and explosives disposal.
Explosives hazard, Class II. Class II consists of those explosives activities that involve a
moderate potential for an accident because of the type of explosives, the condition of the
explosives and/or the nature of the operations involved. This category consists of activities
where the accident potential is greater than Class III but the exposure of personnel
performing contact operations is acceptable. Included are activities where the energies that
do or may interface with the explosives are normally well within the safety boundaries for
the explosives involved but where the loss of control of these energies might approach the
safety limits of the explosives. Examples of Class II activities involving HE are weighing,
some wet machining, assembly and disassembly, and environmental testing (exposure of
explosives samples to variations in temperature, humidity, etc.). It should be noted that some
environmental testing is a Class I (remote) activity (e.g., heating an explosives sample to
within of its critical temperature).
Explosives hazard Class III. Class III consists of those explosives activities that represent a
low potential for an accident because of the type of explosives, the conditions of the
explosives and/or the nature of the activity involved. Class III includes explosives activities
where the accident potential of the operation being performed is not significantly different
from explosives storage. Examples are normal handling, storage, packaging, unpackaging, and
some inspection and nondestructive testing.
Explosives hazard, Class IV. Class IV consists of those explosives activities with insensitive
high explosives (IHE) or IHE subassemblies that, although mass detonating, are so
insensitive that there is negligible probability for accidental initiation or transition form
burning to detonation. Explosions will be limited to pressure ruptures of containers heated
in a fire. Although the fire hazards of IHE or IHE subassemblies are not as great as those
of other explosives, it is classified as hazard class/division 1.3 (mass fire) to be consistent
with DOD 6055.9. Most processing and storage activities with IHE and IHE subassemblies
are class IV. However, the following are examples of explosive activities with IHE or IHE
subassemblies that remain class I: pressing, some machining (see DOE/EV 06194); dry
blending, dry milling, and dry screening.

These criteria
Division 1
General Requirements
CRITERIA PURPOSE AND APPLICATION
GENERAL
provide mandatory, minimally acceptable requirements for facility design. The
predominant model building code in the region shall govern on issues not revered in these
criteria.
State, municipal, county, and other local building and zoning codes and ordinances should be
reviewed for possible conflicts with these criteria. While it is not mandatory that DOE
projects comply with such local codes and regulations, the design professional is encouraged
to cooperate with local officials and DOE personnel to accommodate the intent of local
codes and regulations as much as possible.
Section 26
These criteria apply to any building acquisition, new facility, facility addition and alteration,
and leased facility that is required to comply with DOE 4300.1B. This includes on-site
costructed buildings, pre-engineered buildings, plant-fabricated modular buildings, and
temporary facilities. For existing facilities, original design criteria apply to the structure in
general; however, additions or modifications shall comply with this Order and the associated
latest editions of the references herein. Reactors and their safety systems shall be sited and
designed according to DOE 5480.6.
These criteria shall be applied in the planning. design and development of specifications for
facilities, including the preparation of site-specific general design criteria and project-specific
design criteria during the project planning phase.
If there are any conflicts between these criteria and DOE directives, these criteria shall
govern. Any such conflicts shall be brought to the attention of the Headquarters OPFM.
Information cited in these criteria as being provided by the cognizant DOE authority shall be
obtained by the design professional through the designated cognizant DOE authority.
General Requirements

0101-2 CRITERIA DEVIATIONS
DOE organizations with first-line responsibilities for facility projects shall determine to what
extent these criteria shall be applied to projects in process under prior issuances of DOE
6430.1. In making this determination for projects already in the planning, design,
construction, operating, or decommissioning phases, consideration shall include the current
stage of budgeting, design, or construction and the potential cost and schedule effects of
applying these criteria.
For all projects subject to DOE 6430.1 series, these criteria are not intended to impose
unnecessary design restrictions or requirements or to discourage design innovation.
Professional architectural and engineering judgment shall be used in the interpretation and
application of these criteria to specific projects.
The contractor and/or DOE organizations responsible for facility projects shall review these
criteria early in the planning phase and at later phases during the project construction
process to determine if any of these criteria are not applicable or are not appropriate. The
contractor shall document the criteria being used for each project in the project’s SAR (per
Section 0110-5.2, Safety Analysis) such that compliance with these criteria can be verified
during design, construction, and facility operation. Site-specific criteria shall be included in
this documentation.
Deviations may be granted by DOE organizations responsible for facility projects or granted
by the DOE programmatic office responsible for the design of facilities when any of the
following apply:
A specific portion of the general design criteria is determined to be inadequate or
inappropriate for the facility under design.
Minor deviations are necessary or advantageous in the design professional’s professional
judgment.
A criterion does not reflect currently applicable codes, standards, regulations, or
architectural or engineering principles and practices.
A criterion affecting environmental protection or safety is less stringent than local or
State codes or regulations.
Deviations will achieve economies in facility construction, operation, or maintenance
without significant adverse effects on programmatic or operating needs or DOE design
policy and objectives.
Section 27
Deviations will not affect DOE design policy and objectives and are determined to be
necessary in the acquisition of buildings by lease or purchase.
Deviations will not affect DOE design policy and objectives, are necessay, and are
allowable under existing exemption or variance provisions of another DOE directive.
Headquarters-level review and approval are not required for deviations from local or State
codes or regulations that do not affect compliance with DOE policies or objectives.
DOE 6430.1A

When a deviation is granted without Headquarters-level
General Requirements
Page 1-3
review and approval, the project file
or other files as appropriate shall include full documentation of the deviation, including an
analysis and justification for giving the deviation.
Headquarters-level review and approval shall be required for the following deviations from
these criteria:
Deviations proposed for safety-class items (as defined in Section 1300-3.2, Safety Class
Items, and determined by DOE 5481.1B) when such deviation will or may constitute an
adverse impact on environmental protection, safety or health or other DOE design
policies or objectives
Deviations from requirements in Federal laws or regulations or Executive Orders; such
deviations cannot be approved unless such laws, regulations, or Executive Orders provide
for deviations or waivers
OPFM shall, where responsibility is not otherwise prescribed by Executive Order or statute:
Be notified of any deficiencies in these criteria or conflicts that exist between them and
other DOE directives
Determine the need for formal submittal of a proposed deviation
Coordinate with and determine appropriate Headquarters organizations necessary to
review and approve any deviations
Review design project files or other files as appropriate containing documentation of
deviations
Requests for deviations requiring Headquarters level approval shall be prepared by the
responsible field organization and submitted with justification to OPFM, the Headquarters
outlay program organization(s) involved, and any other Headquarters organization as
determined appropriate by OPFM.
Nothing in these criteria shall preempt the specific requirements contained in other DOE
directives relative to their processes and procedures for requesting exemptions, variances, or
deviations.
0101-3 ORGANIZATION AND USE OF THESE CRITERIA
0101-3.1 General
The organization of these criteria is adapted from the
by the Construction Specifications Institute.
MASTERFORMAT system developed
The 16 numerical divisions of these criteria arc devoted to major building systems or design
specialties. For example, Division 15 covers mechanical systems; Division 2, site and civil.
The number of each section, paragraph, and subparagraph within each division includes that
General Requirements DOE 6430.1A
Page 1-4 4-6-89
division’s number (for example, 1550-2.2 is the second paragraph in section 1550-2, which is
in Division 15).
0101-3.2 “Shall” and "Shall Consider"
"Shall" in these criteria denotes a requirement.
"Shall consider" requires that an objective assessment be performed to determine to what
extent the specified factor, criterion, guideline, standard, etc., will be incorporated into or
satisfied by the design. The results and basis of this assessment shall be adequately
documented. Such documentation shall be retrievable and can be in the form of meeting
minutes, reports, internal memoranda, etc. Some sections of these criteria contain other
documentation requirements.
Section 28
0101-3.3 References to Other Sections and Documents
References to other parts of these criteria take the form "See Section 0110-12, Energy
Conservation." The term "Section" is used to refer to topics, sections, paragraphs, and
subparagraphs. The section’s title is given after its number. The 16 divisions are referred to
as divisions.
References to other documents are generally shorthand, as in "ACI 234" or "NFPA 13."
Readers who are unfamiliar with an abbreviation can consult the Abbreviations section of
these criteria.
Each standard, regulation, DOE directive, or other referenced document is listed in Section
0106, Regulatory Requirements, or Section 0109, Reference Standards and Guides. These
sections are not comprehensive lists of all major design standards and guides. They contain
only those standards specifically mandated in one or more sections of these criteria.
0101-3.4 Special Facilities
0101-3.4.1 “-99” Sections
Most criteria apply to all DOE facilities, including special facilities. Each division also
contains requirements for special facilities; these criteria appear in sections numbered -99.
For example, Division 15, Mechanical, contains criteria that apply to the design of all DOE
facilities, both non-special and special facilities. In addition, Section 1550-99, Special
Facilities, contains additional criteria on mechanical systems that apply only to the design of
special facilities.
Within the -99 sections, facility types are designated by the following numbers:
99.0, Nonreactor Nuclear Facilities-General
99.1, Laboratory Facilities (Including Hot Laboratories
99.2, Emergency Preparedness Facilities
99.3, Plutonium Processing and Handling Facilities

If a -99 section has no criteria related to a given specialized facility type, no section with
that facility type’s number appears. This can cause the numbering in -99 sections to have
gaps (for example, -99.1, -99.2, -99.4, -99.12).
0101-3.4.2 Division 13
Some special DOE facilities have additional design criteria that do not relate to the major
building systems or design specialties in the "standard" MASTERFORMAT divisions. Such
material appears in Division 13, Special Facilities.

accessible to the public, or may result in the employment of physically handicapped persons
therein, shall be designed in accordance with the Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards in
41 CFR 101.19.6.
The standards in 41 CFR 101-19.6 shall apply to the design, construction, alteration, or lease
of any portion of a facility except when:
Because of its intended use, it need not be made accessible to, or usable by, the public
or by physically handicapped persons. This exception shall not be taken solely on the
basis that the facility is not, or will not be, accessible to the public. Every facility shall
be designed to assure across to physically handicapped persons unless a facility’s intended
use is specifically restricted to able-bodied personnel.
The alteration of an existing building if the alteration does not involve the installation
of, or work on, existing stairs, doors, elevators, toilets, entrances, drinking fountains,
floors, telephone locations, curbs, parking areas, or any other facilities susceptible to
installation or improvements to accommodate the physically handicapped.
The alteration of an existing building, or of portions thereof, to which application of the
standards is not structurally possible.
The construction or alteration of a building for which plans and specifications were
completed or substantially completed on or before September 2, 1%9, provided,
however, that any building defined in 41 CFR 101-19.6 shall be designed, constructed, or
altered in accordance with the standards prescribed in 41 CFR 101-19.6 regardless of
design status or bid solicitation as of September 2, 1969.
The leasing of space when it is found after receiving bids or offers not otherwise legally
acceptable that a proposal meets most of the requirements of the Uniform Federal
Accessibility Standards. If no offeror or bidder meets all the requirements, then
preference must be given to the offeror or bidder who most nearly meets the standards
in 41 CFR 101-19.6. If the award is proposed for a firm other than the one that most
nearly meets these standards and whose bid or offer is reasonable in price, and is
otherwise legally acceptable, a waiver or modification of the standards must be obtained.
The Real Property and Facilities Management Division, MA-22, is responsible for developing
the composite DOE annual report on building accommodations for the physically
handicapped from feeder reports provided by the responsible Departmental field elements.
This division is responsible for submittal of those reports to GSA by September 15 each
year.

0110-10 FALLOUT SHELTERS
Executive Order 12656 (superseding Executive Order 11490) requires the Secretary of Energy
to identify facilities essential to the national defense and national welfare, to develop plans
and programs to provide for the security of such facilities, and to avoid or minimize
disruptions of essential services during any national security emergency. The Secretary of
Energy shall also, in coordination with the Secretary of Defense, ensure continuity of nuclear
weapons production consistent with national security requirements. Executive Order 12656
does not specifically require the provision of fallout shelters. Therefore, until that time when
the Secretary of Energy specifically defines the Department’s policy with respect to fallout
shelters, provision for such space shall be considered only in dual-purpose spaces where little
or no additional costs to the total estimated cost will be incurred. Examples of possible
spaces are interior corridors, interior rooms, or below-ground spaces.
Section 51
This new guidance supersedes the instructions for "Preparation of Construction Project Data
Sheets" in DOE 5100.4, which currently could be interpreted to require the unnecessary
inclusion of fallout shelter space. Coordination of this new guidance will be reflected in
future revisions of that Order.
DOE 6430.1A

These standards shall be applied to new buildings, additions to buildings, leased space, and
contractor-occupied space.
The FPMR requirements shall be applied to those specific areas used for ordinary office
functions. The goal of the criteria is to achieve an average workstation utilization rate of 135
occupiable square feet or less per person. In general, spaces dedicated to a machine or
process, or spaces where people support equipment and not vice versa, do not fit into this
category, and the workstation utilization rate does not apply.
See 41 CFR 101-17.003 and 17.600 for definitions and further guidance regarding exceptions.
0110-12 ENERGY CONSERVATION
0110-12.1 Coverage
For purposes of this section, the term "building" shall mean new commercial, industrial, or
residential building, or new building additions, unless otherwise stated. The term "Federal
Building" means any building, structure, or facility that is constructed, renovated, leased, or
purchased, in whole or in part for use by the United States, which includes a heating system,
a cooling system, or both.
These criteria shall be applied in the planning and design of the following DOE facilities:
New buildings and building additions including their operating systems and energy using
equipment
Building and building system alteration projects
Semi-permanent facilities (owned directly or indirectly by the Government) such as pre-
engineered metal buildings, trailer units, or other types of temporary buildings
Other energy-using facilities such as new or modified central utility plants, utility
distribution systems, and exterior lighting systems

when promulgated, or ASHRAE Standard 90.
For existing construction, ASHRAE Standard 100 shall apply.
DOE has designated ASHRAE Standard 90 as the minimum efficiency standard for new
Federal Buildings with the following two exceptions:
That the DOE LCC methodology shall be used (rather than the ASHRAE methodology)
That this standard shall not limit further reduction in energy use where such reductions
can be achieved on the basis of LCC analysis
The building envelope shall meet the minimum prescriptive energy conservation requirements
of ASHRAE Standard 90 and the criteria in Section 0110-123, Building Envelope Thermal
Transmittance Values, and Section 0110-12.4, Building Envelope Air Leakage Criteria. The

The following building envelope criteria shall be the minimum values to be used in the
architectural design of new buildings and building alteration projects and in considering the
acquisition of pre-engineered metal buildings, modular buildings, trailer units, and temporary
facilities.
As a minimum requirement, the thermal transmittance values ("U" values) and overall
maximum allowable combined transmittance values as determined from ASHRAE Standard
90 shall be used as basic building envelope criteria. Lower thermal transmittance values shall
be considered by LCC analysis as discussed in Section 0110-12.7, Building Analysis
Procedures.
Buildings with solar energy sources, high internal heat loads, or other special requirements

determine if deviations from the maximum allowable thermal transmittance values would
actually result in less annual energy consumption.
0110-12.4 Building Envelope Air Leakage Criteria
Building envelope air leakage through walls, windows, and doors shall comply with ASHRAE
Standard 90.
0110-12.5 Use of Renewable Enerygy Systems
0110-12.3.1 Active Solar Systems
The DOE Energy Management Coordinator shall determine whether the use of active solar
systems shall be considered for a building. The application of active solar systems shall be

Criteria and methodology for the design of an EMS shall comply with TM 5-815-2
Methodology for estimating the energy conservation performance of an EMS shall comply
with NCEL UG-0010.
Implementation and installation of an EMS, a micro EMS (single-building controller) or an
interface to an existing EMS, shall be considered in the preliminary (Title 1) design phase
for all building projects. Energy management systems shall be evaluated by LCC analysis.
0110-12.7 Building Analysis Procedures
0110-12.7.1 LCC Analysis Procedures
LCC analysis shall be used to compare the total life-cycle value of various building
parameters and systems based on initial cost, annual maintenance costs, and annual operating
costs. Furthermore, the present value of future benefits and costs shall be calculated for the
various energy conservation alternatives. This analysis shall then form a basis for selecting
the optimum building systems for any specific use. LCC analysis shall comply with 10 CFR
436, as amended.
LCC analysis shall use energy costs obtained from the most current four successive quarters
as reported in the Quarterly Energy Conservation Report for the site. The annual
supplement of NBS Handbook 135, which contains current factors and escalation rates for
energy, shall be used for the LCC analysis.
0110-12.7.2 Use of Computer or Other Energy Analysis Techniques
Total energy consumption in a building shall be defined to include both building energy
consumption and process energy consumption.
Building energy consumption shall be defined as the energy that is used primarily for
heating, ventilation, cooling, domestic inter heating, enerygy distribution and lighting. Process
energy consumption shall be defined as energy used in a process, production or research
program. A "base-case" annual building energy consumption shall be determined by the
methods described in Section 0110-12.7.3, Design Analysis Procedures. Energy analysis of
building energy conservation alternatives shall be compared to the "base-case" building.
If the estimated annual total building energy consumption as indicated in the DOE project
criteria is expected to exceed 500 million BTU, or the building is larger than 10,000 gross
square feet, the evaluation of the “base-case” energy consumption and the analysis of energy
conservation alternatives shall be performed using a computer analysis technique approved by
the DOE Energy Management Coordinator. If the estimated total building annual energy
consumption is not expected to exceed 500 million BTU, the design professional can use
either a computerized analysis or a manual analysis method using ASHRAE’s Simplified
Energy Analysis using the modified bin method to evaluate the energy conservation
alternatives and the "base-case" design energy consumption for the building.
Section 54
DOE 6430.1A General Requirements
4-6-89 Page 1-63
The computerized energy analysis shall be made part of the "Energy Conservation Report" as
discussed in Section 0110-12.8, Energy Conservation Report Requirements. Energy analysis
need not be included in a formal report if the usage is less than 500 million BTU/year.
0110-12.7.3 Design Analysis Pocedures
The energy use of building systems shall be considered at the start of the building design
planning process because selection of fundamental building features, such as form,
orientation, window/wall ratio, building envelope construction, lighting system types, and
HVAC system types have the greatest effect on energy consumption.
Energy Consumption characteristic of different building features shall be defined to identiy
the building energy-consuming systems with the greatest potential for reduction in energy
consumption. Systems that shall be considered are lighting, heating, cooling, energy (media)
distribution, domestic water heating, and ventilation. Factors that affect these systems, such
as building thermal transmittance values, infiltration and ventilation rates, occupancies,
building orientation, shading, HVAC system design, and lighting system design shall be
optimized. The most effective design solutions shall be identified using LCC analysis.
Energy consumption characteristics of process energy systems shall also be analyzed l nd the
optimum parameters selected.
A “base-case" annual energy consumption for the building shall be determined as described
in Part I below. This “base-case” annual energy consumption shall be reported in accordance
with Section 0110-12.8, Energy conservation Report Requirements.

B.
New Buildings and New Building Additions
The "base-case" energy usage shall be defined as the energy the building would consume
resulting from only the implementation of the energy conservation requirements of
ASHRAE Standard 90. The “base-case" energy usage shall define the fraction of the
building’s energy consumption attributable to lighting, cooling, heating. domestic water
heating, energy distribution, and ventilation. The "base-case" energy usage shall l lso
define the energy required for process functions. The base-case energy usage shall be
determined by simulating the “base-case” building through use of energy analysis
techniques as discussed in Section 0110-12.7.2, Use of Computer or Other Energy
Analysis Techniques. Project criteria shall indicate process energy requirements and
related information.
The "base-case” building energy analysis shall include input of all building envelope
characteristics, including U-values, areas, building orientation, shading features, window/
wall/roof thermal characteristics, and infiltration characteristics. The analysis shall include
input of all building internal characteristics including lighting demand and usage
schedules, occupancy demand and schedules, equipment and miscellaneous heat gains,
building usage schedules, and ventilation rates and schedules. The analysis shall include
calculations of the building’s heat gains and heat losses and total block heating and
cooling loads using all of the above listed characteristics and local weather data obtained
from AFM 88-29, Chapter 6, bin weather data, or hour-by-hour weather data. The

heating and cooling loads shall include the delineation of the portions associated with
solar, transmission, ventilation, and internal components.
After the thermal heating and cooling loads are calculated, the "base-case" building
energy analysis shall indicate the selection of the HVAC systems to be applied to the
building to offset the heat gains and heat losses. The "base-case" HVAC systems shall
meet the requirements of ASHME Standard 90 and the other design requirements as
described in Division 15, Mechanical. The energy analysis shall simulate a full year’s
performance of the systems based on the thermal loads, full and part load efficiencies of
HVAC equipment, demand and usage schedules of energy distribution equipment (fans,
pumps, auxiliary burdens, etc.) and demand and usage schedules for domestic water
heating. Domestic hot water usage shall be calculated according to the methods
described in the ASHRAE Systems handbook. Process energy usage analysis and
optimization of the selection of process equipment shall be evaluated separately
according to DOE project criteria.
Existing Buildings
To analyze energy conservation modifications for existing buildings, a similar "base-case"
situation shall be determined. In many cases the base case will be the energy
consumption of the particular system in the "as operating" condition. The DOE Energy
Management Coordinator will determine when the base case will require a simulation of
a building’s annual energy consumption. In this case, existing building characteristics for
thermal envelope transmittance values, lighting demand and usage schedules, occupancy
load and occupancy schedules, and miscellaneous equipment and usage schedules shall be
determined from plant operating personnel and used as input. Actual efficiencies of
existing HVAC equipment, miscellaneous equipment, and domestic water heating
equipment shall also be used as the input for the "base-case" energy analysis. The
simulation of the building energy usage should then be plotted against the historical
utility bills or beat available information from the facility operator to obtain a "match" of
the building’s energy dynamics and energy consumption An initial evaluation of possible
energy conservation improvements for existing buildings shall be derived from the
ASHRAE Standard 100 series.
Part II-Evaluation of Energy Conservation Alternatives
Once the “base-case” building energy usage simulation has been determined, the following
steps shall be performed in the building energy usage analysis:
1. Evaluate building envelope energy conservation opportunities by analyzing the effects of
modifications to "base-case" thermal transmittance values, fenestration areas, building
orientation, building exposure to weather conditions, and building shading characteristic
or the use of possible solar technologies.
2 Either evaluate the energy effectiveness of various different mechanical/electrical
environmental systems by simulating the energy usage of each of these systems using a
constant thermal load “base-case” and comparing the results, or evaluate energy
conservation modifications to the "base-case" HVAC system. Again, life-cycle evaluation
of mechanical/electrical environmental systems shall be performed using efficiencies

Section 56
Evaluate energy conservation alternatives to systems or compare energy usage between
systems in an ordered sequence so that energy consequences of one modification over
another are included.
Evaluate energy conservation modifications to the “base-case” domestic water beating.
If potentiality feasible, based on fossile fuel types, availability, and costs, DOE project
criteria shall direct the design professional to evaluate cogeneration alternatives. After all
system comparisons are evaluated for energy savings, evaluate energy sources based on
energy cost to the building. Select fuels and energy sources in conformance with DOE
4330.2C. Discussion of fuel source availability shall be included in the "Energy
Conservation Report."
LCC analysis shall be performed using typical cost values provided in DOE project
criteria and the incremental energy costs determined from Items 1-5 above according to
the methods discussed in Section 0110-12.7.1, LCC Analysis Procedures, to determine the
optimum energy conservation alternatives.
0110-12.7.4 Waivers of Design Analysis Requirements
Comparative analysis of building envelope, lighting, or HVAC systems can be modified given
the following conditions:
No further comparative analysis of building thermal envelope modifications is required if
the building orientation or building construction features are pre-determined and cannot
be modified because of special site, safety, or programming considerations. The building
still must meet minimum building envelope standards required by ASHRAE Standard 90.
No further comparative analysis between HVAC systems is required if the type of
HVAC system is unique to the building or process and cannot be modified due to rigid
temperature control, humidity control, air movement requirement, or special
programming. The pre-selected system shall still be evaluated for all possible energy
conservation modifications available to that particular system.
No further comparative analysis is required if selections of overall HVAC systems or
ancillai sub-systems or equipment are available that by empirical observation clearly
consume the least energy and that can be shown through simple cost estimation to have
no significant additional first cost and no significant annual maintenance costs over other
HVAC systems. A description of these findings shall be in accordance with Section 0110-
12.8, Energy Conservation Report Requirements.
Waivers of design analysis of this type must be submitted for approval to the DOE Energy
Management Coordinator. Unusual limiting considerations concerning the building envelope,
the HVAC systems, the lighting systems, or other systems that allow for waiver of
comparative analysis shall be discussed in the "Energy Conservation Report."
