INTERIOR OPERABLE PARTITIONS
PERFORMANCE
A. Basic Function
1. Provide interior operable partitions between adjacent spaces where required by the
program or where proper functioning of adjacent spaces requires limited visual or
physical connection between them.
2. Interior operable partitions comprise the following elements:
a. Movable barriers that form solid, visual and acoustical subdivisions of a space..
3. Where interior operable partitions are integral with elements defined within another
element group, meet requirements of both element groups. Operable partitions, when
closed, function as partition elements and must not degrade performance of adjoining
partitions below the levels specified.
4. Brand Names: Where brand names are listed, they represent the Basis of Design unless
those items are identified as approved proprietary items in project requirements.
B. Amenity and Comfort
1. Acoustical Performance:
a. FSTC Values: Provide in-place FSTC values for interior operable partitions that are
not less than NIC values specified for interior construction.
b. STC Rating: Minimum 53-57, calculated in accordance with ASTM E413-2004.
2. Appearance
a. Compatibility: Provide interior operable partitions that are compatible in appearance
with surrounding construction, employing similar materials, colors, and textures.
C. Health and Safety
1. Fire Resistance: Provide ratings as required to maintain fire resistance rating of
surrounding partitions.
D. Structure
1. Lintels: Constructed to span openings and support loads imposed by partitions, with
maximum deflection in accordance with code and manufacturer’s requirements, vertically
and horizontally.
