MIL-HDBK-1027/4A
Mechanical Room. This space normally contains the facility related
heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment as well as the
sprinkler valves and piping. Area requirement for facility HVAC equipment is
typically 5 percent of gross floor space; however, the requirement can vary
depending on space criteria and other factors such as use of a basewide steam
system. Mechanical rooms typically contain a variety of equipment types
which must be accommodated early in the design. Avoid locating rooms with
HVAC equipment on upper levels where sound can reverberate through structural
systems. Provide adequate access space around equipment for operation,
maintenance, and servicing. Locate hydraulic and pneumatic equipment which
support the trainer devices in a separate pump room due to air contaminants,
noise, and safety considerations.

counter with gooseneck faucet and sprayer.
