Communications wiring shall be brought into the building underground to a dedicated
communications room, in PVC or rigid metal conduit to the head end equipment.
Communications wiring shall be run in raceways in areas subject to damage, such as
in walls or in unfinished areas. Other areas (e.g. above ceilings) may not require
conduits.
Review security/privacy/interference issues with the user/operator to determine if
multiple communications (low voltage) systems can be installed in the same conduit.
Sustainable facilities achieve optimum resource efficiency and constructability while
minimizing adverse impacts to the built and natural environments through all phases of its life
cycle. The goals of sustainable development are to conserve energy, water, and raw
materials; prevent environmental degradation caused by construction, operations, and
disposal of facilities; and create built environments which are livable, healthy, maintainable,
and productive. These goals are compatible with providing a desirable and economically
viable recreation facility.

6-4.1 Sustainable Goal
The Bowling Center should incorporate the principals of sustainable design in the
development of the design. Guidance is provided by the US Green Building Council
(http://www.usgbc.org) in its Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green
Building rating system. The design should achieve the highest LEED rating (documented in
the Design Analysis) that the budgeted amount will allow, with the goal of being LEED
certifiable.
6-4.2 Incorporate Sustainable Development principles by:
Site: demonstrate that site planning has evaluated solar and wind orientation and
existing site conditions to develop optimal building siting and appropriate low
maintenance landscaping.
Energy: demonstrate that building orientation and massing, natural ventilation, day-
lighting, and other passive strategies have been evaluated in an effort to increase the
quality of the indoor environment and comfort of the occupants. Demonstrate that the
system selection is the most efficient through the use of an advanced computer
modeling and life cycle cost analysis.
