or are replaced.)
– Outline energy conservation opportunities that
were researched. Highlight those that were incorporated.
This report may have been completed as
part of the Prospectus Development Study.
Fire Protection
Fire protection and life safety submission requirements
shall be identified as a separate Fire Protection section as
outlined in this document.

resistance requirements, egress requirements, etc.
Electrical
An electrical narrative only needs to be submitted if the
alteration scope of work involves changes to the type or
location of major electrical systems.
Narrative.

– Describe lighting, power and signal systems,
including available capacity versus criteria in
Chapter 6, and operational characteristics.
– Describe code deficiencies. Identify how new
systems will be tied into existing systems.
– This report may have been completed as part of
the Prospectus Development Study.
2. Describe both existing and new distribution systems
within the building.
– Special power and reliability requirements should
be addressed, including emergency power and
UPS systems.
