Intent: To limit the presence of sediment and water-borne pathogens in water designated for human contact.
Feature WaterTwo properties of water—turbidity and total coliforms—serve as indicators for the possible presence of many harmful contaminants. High turbidity can provide food and shelter for germs, and may also indicate that a building’s filtration system is not working properly. Removing turbidity may also remove harmful pathogens such as protozoa. Another test is the measurement of total coliforms. Coliform bacteria are naturally present in the environment and are generally considered harmless. However, their presence in water suggests that water may contain more dangerous pathogens, including bacteria, viruses and protozoa. Exposure to these pathogens through water containing coliforms can lead to adverse gastrointestinal effects such as diarrhea, vomiting, nausea and cramps.
The following are forbidden in regularly occupied spaces:
29 Combustion-based fireplaces, stoves, space-heaters, ranges and ovens.
All combustion equipment used in the project for heating, cooling, water-heating, process heating or power generation (whether primary or back-up) must meet California’s South Coast Air Quality Management District rules for pollution:
Signage, visible from pick-up, drop-off and parking areas indicates:
To reduce particulate matter emissions from both on-road and non-road diesel fueled vehicles and construction equipment, the following requirements are met for construction occurring within one year prior to Performance Verification:
In Part 1, change “Turbidity of the water sample is less than 0.3 NTU” to “Turbidity of the water sample is less than 1.0 NTU”.
In Part 1, change “Turbidity of the water sample is less than 0.3 NTU” to “Turbidity of the water sample is less than 1.0 NTU”.
Projects that wish to include a gas range within the project scope must provide range hoods with increased exhaust efficiency in order to exhaust combustion byproducts. The range hood must provide at least 100 cubic feet per minute of exhaust air for every 10,000 BTU’s of burner output. If the burner output is unknown or cannot be guaranteed, then the range hood should provide a minimum of 600 cubic feet per minute of exhaust air. In addition, the range hood shall be exhausted directly to the outdoors.
