dependents. For the purposes of these standards, family housing will be considered to
include Morale, Welfare, and Recreation housing (cottages) of similar occupancies.
Glazing. The part of a window, skylight, or door assembly that is transparent and
transmits light, but not air.
Inhabited building. Buildings or portions of buildings routinely occupied by 11 or more
DoD personnel and with a population density of greater than one person per 40 gross
square meters (430 gross square feet). This density generally excludes industrial,
maintenance, and storage facilities, except for more densely populated portions of those
buildings such as administrative areas. The inhabited building designation also applies
to expeditionary and temporary structures with similar population densities. In a
building that meets the criterion of having 11 or more personnel, with portions that do
not have sufficient population densities to qualify as inhabited buildings, those portions
that have sufficient population densities will be considered inhabited buildings while the
remainder of the building may be considered uninhabited, subject to provisions of these
standards. An example would be a hangar with an administrative area within it. The
administrative area would be treated as an inhabited building while the remainder of the
hangar could be treated as uninhabited. (Note: This definition differs significantly from
the definition for inhabited building used by DoD 6055.9-STD and is not construed to be
authorization to deviate from criteria of DoD 6055.9-STD.)
Hardened construction. Below ground construction designed to resist nuclear
weapons effects.
Level of protection. The degree to which an asset (person, equipment, object, etc.) is

Mail room. A facility operated by or for the Department of Defense for the receipt and
delivery of mail for military units or other authorized organizations and agencies.
Mass notification. Capability to provide real-time information to all building occupants
or personnel in the immediate vicinity of a building during emergency situations.
Medical transitional structures and spaces. Structures that are erected or leased for
temporary occupancy to maintain mission-critical medical care during construction,
renovation, modification, repair or restoration of an existing medical structure.
Examples include urgent, ambulatory, and acute care operations.
Military protective construction. Military facilities designed to resist military
conventional and nuclear weapons to the NATO (or equivalent) standards of hardened,
protected, semi-hardened, collaterally protected, or splinter protected.
