TABLE 2.1 (Continued)
RECOMMENDED FINISHES - SIMULATOR FACILITIES
General Notes:
1.
See Glossary for finish material abbreviations
2.
VWC and alkyd paint use is limited.
Remarks:
1.
Provide washable paint with eggshell or semigloss finish.
2.
Seal lower perimeter wall area and provide pigmented
hardener/sealer on concrete floor below raised computer room access
flooring to accommodate air supply plenum.
3.
Carpet is discouraged. Provide other methods of sound control.
4.
Metal slat ceilings are prohibited.
5.
Device/Trainee spaces such as those for part task trainers adjacent
to finish ceiling areas may use ceiling system to match.
6.
Consider alternate durable floors such as terrazzo.
7.
Consider acoustical wall panels where additional sound absorption
is required.
8.
Provide quarry tile base for quarry tile floors.
9.
Verify finishes with device manufacturer.
Security requirements at the main entry usually require a single
entry point with visitor control. Remote locks, video cameras, card readers,
and/or key pads may be required by NCIS as components of the intrusion
detection system (IDS). Provide closers on doors with card readers and key
pads. Emergency exits should have no hardware on the door exterior. Consult
public works and base fire departments for exterior hardware required for
access to mechanical rooms, electrical rooms, sprinkler control rooms and
fire alarm enunciator panels.
Provide four hinges where required on heavy use doors. Avoid panic
hardware except where specifically required by criteria, since the Navy does
not classify training facilities as schools.
2.2.2.9
Natural Lighting. Natural light is encouraged, as it contributes
significantly to the energy efficiency of the building and communicates a
feeling of well-being and openness. Natural light can be used in conjunction
with high efficiency artificial lighting, featuring photosensitive controls
for maintaining lighting levels automatically. Skylights are not permitted,
due to excessive solar heat gain and leak potential. Classroom wing
corridors and other interior occupied spaces may incorporate monitors with
conventional roofing and vertical windows. High bay spaces may incorporate
clerestory windows in cases where natural lighting is desired without any
distracting or unsightly views.
2.2.2.10 Building Thermal Insulation and Vapor Retarders. Locate vapor
retarders with care in view of the thermal differentials associated with
training buildings. Do not use vinyl wall covering and impervious paint on
the interior surface of exterior walls in humid areas, unless calculations
show that condensation will not occur within the wall.
