HEATING, VENTILATING, AND AIR CONDITIONING (HVAC). Air
Conditioning is mandatory in all Navy and Marine Corps Bachelor Housing. With
the exception of open bay, HVAC should provide residents with individual choice
of heating and cooling year round within each living area. HVAC systems must
meet Energy Star/ FEMP standards of efficiency. The selection of the type of
HVAC system used for a housing project significantly impacts the initial
construction cost and the life cycle cost of the facility. An existing HVAC system
may be reused for restoration and modernization projects, but must provide
individual heating and cooling of each Apartment, Room, or Module at any time
of the year.
