APPENDIX A
BUILDING CATEGORY CODES AND BUILDING TYPES
This appendix contains the information used to assign
building types based on the Navy five-digit building category
code. A category code is assigned to each building listed in
NAVFAC P-78 based on the building's function. Because many
category codes describe the general function and operation of
similar buildings, the category codes were grouped together and
assigned to building types. These building types are used
throughout this handbook to identify differences in operations,
occupancy, or connected load. Table A-1 lists the building types
and gives brief descriptions/examples of the kinds of buildings
in the type. Table A-2 lists the category codes defined in FACSO
RPT 11016/R8042R01, Facility Category Codes, and assigned to each
building type.
