1-6.2.2
Conversion of Use. Implementation of these standards is mandatory
when any portion of a building is modified from its current use to that of an inhabited
building, billeting, or a primary gathering building for one year or more. Examples would
include a warehouse (uninhabited) being converted to administrative (inhabited) use
and an inhabited administrative building being converted to a primary gathering building
or billeting.
1-6.2.3
Glazing Replacement. Because of the significance of glazing hazards in
a blast environment, implementation of the glazing provisions of these standards is
mandatory for existing inhabited buildings within any planned window or door glazing
replacement project. Such replacements may require window frame modification or
replacement.
1-6.3
Building Additions. Additions to existing inhabited buildings shall comply
with the minimum standards for new buildings. If the addition is 50% or more of the
gross area of the existing building, the existing building shall comply with the minimum
standards for existing buildings.
1-6.4
Leased Buildings. DoD personnel occupying leased buildings deserve
the same level of protection as those in DoD-owned buildings. Implementation of these
standards is therefore mandatory for all facilities leased for DoD use and for those
buildings in which DoD receives a space assignment from another government agency
except as established below. This requirement is intended to cover all situations,
including General Services Administration space, privatized buildings, and host-nation
and other foreign government buildings. This requirement is applicable for all new
leases executed on or after 1 October 2005 and to renewal or extension of any existing
lease on or after 1 October 2009. Leases executed prior to the above fiscal years will
comply with these standards where possible.
1-6.4.1
Partial Occupancy. These standards only apply where DoD personnel
occupy leased or assigned space constituting at least 25% of the net interior useable
area or the area as defined in the lease, and they only apply to that portion of the
building that is occupied by DoD personnel.
1-6.4.2
New Buildings. Buildings that are built to lease to DoD as of the effective
date established above shall comply with the standards for new construction.
1-6.4.3
Existing Buildings. New leases or renewals of leases of existing
buildings will trigger the minimum standards for existing buildings in accordance with the
effective dates established above.
1-6.5
Expeditionary and Temporary Structures. Implementation of these
standards is mandatory for all expeditionary and temporary structures that meet the
occupancy criteria for inhabited or primary gathering buildings or billeting. See
Appendix D for structure types that meet the expeditionary and temporary structures
criteria.
1-6.5.1
New Structures. These standards apply to all new expeditionary sites
effective immediately.
