2. Energy efficiency: Minimize energy consumption while providing function, amenity,
and comfort specified.
3. Water consumption: Minimize water consumption.
4. Waste removal and recycling: As described in the project program.
5. Ease of operation: Provide facility, equipment, and systems that are easily operated by
personnel with a reasonable level of training for similar activities.
a. Minimize the need for specialized training in operation of specific equipment or
systems; identify all equipment and systems for which the manufacturer recommends
or provides training programs.
b. Train district personnel in operation of equipment and systems.
6. Ease of maintenance: Minimize and facilitate the amount of maintenance required.
a. Provide elements designed to minimize need for maintenance.
b. Provide access to elements, working clearances, and access doors and panels for ease
of maintenance throughout.
c. Provide elements and access to elements to facilitate maintenance while facility is in
operation without undue disruption.
ELEMENTS AND PRODUCTS
A. Basis of Design: Where brand names are listed, they represent the Basis of Design unless
those items are identified as approved proprietary items in project requirements.
1. The Basis of Design for a designated product establishes the quality and salient physical,
functional and performance characteristics that must be met in the design and
construction of the project.
2. Inclusion of a product other than that listed as the Basis of Design does not constitute a
substitution so long as the submittals for the proposed product demonstrate that it will
perform as well as or better than the Basis of Design.
B. Proprietary Specification
1. Certain products or manufacturers have been approved by the Authority for proprietary
specification and use in this Project. Subject to compliance with codes and all project
requirements, the Design-Builder is required to use the indicated products or
manufacturers and to verify compatibility with the school district’s existing systems.
C. Elements Made Up of More Than One Product
1. Where an element is specified by performance criteria, use construction either proven-inuse
or proven-by-mock-up, unless otherwise indicated.
a. Proven-in-use: Proven to comply by having actually been built to the same or very
similar design with the same materials as specified and functioning as specified.
b. Proven-by-mock-up: Compliance reasonably predictable by having been tested in
full-scale mock-up using the same materials and design as specified and functioning
as specified. Testing need not have been accomplished specifically for this project;
when published listings of independent agencies include details of testing and results,
