MIL-HDBK-1032/2
3.8.10
Design For Handicapped. Every facility shall be designed to ensure
access to the handicapped unless its intended use is specifically restricted
to able-bodied military or civilian personnel. Facilities shall be designed
in accordance with DOD 4270.1-M and ANSI A117.1-1961(R1980). Refer to the
NAVFAC Architecture Criteria Manuals for additional guidance.
3.9
Seismic Design. Determine or estimate the forces that will act on
the structure and design, or specify the structure and storage equipment to
resist these forces and maintain deflections within prescribed limits. Refer
to NAVFAC P-355 for details on seismic design procedures.
3.9.1
Facility Loss Potential. Perform seismic design in proportion to
the loss potential and importance of the facility, classified as follows:
3.9.1.1
Essential Facilities. Essential facilities house critical
operations which are necessary for post-disaster recovery and require
continuous operation during and after an earthquake. This includes
facilities where damage from an earthquake may cause significant loss of
strategic and general communications and disaster response capability.
3.9.1.2
High Risk Facilities. High risk facilities are governed by Flood
Plains Management, Executive Order 11988, and DOD 4270.1-M and consist of
structures in which the primary occupancy is:
a) Assembly of a large number of people.
b) People that are confined (e.g., prison).
c) Services which are provided to a large area or large number of
other buildings.
d) Housing of high value equipment.
e) Storage of fuels or hazardous chemicals.
All structures not covered by the above
Other Facilities.

layout must be evaluated.
3.10
Environmental Control. Provide heating in all offices in all
heating zones. Provide air conditioning in offices as permitted by Chapter 8
of DOD 4270.1-M. Determine requirements for heating in storage space based
on the temperature requirements of material stored and the extent and
activity level of occupancy. Need for heating of storage spaces shall be
clearly demonstrated. Warehouses for storage of materials not subject to
freezing shall not be heated. In warehouses containing materials subject to
freezing, design heating system to maintain an inside winter temperature of
45F (7C). Maintain a temperature of 55F (13C) in warehouse areas with
active employment.
3.10.1
Heating System. The heating system shall be a steam, hot water,
gas fired hot air, or solar system. Provide unit heaters or hot air
registers at cargo doors and over aisles between stored material.
