Electrical Systems Description Sample Clauses
The Electrical Systems Description clause defines the scope, components, and specifications of the electrical systems to be provided or installed under a contract. It typically outlines the types of electrical equipment, wiring, panels, and safety features required, and may reference relevant codes or standards that must be met. By clearly detailing these requirements, the clause ensures that both parties have a mutual understanding of the expected electrical work, reducing the risk of disputes or misunderstandings regarding system performance or compliance.
Electrical Systems Description. Performance standards and outline specifications for District Low Voltage Systems, including but not limited to Data, A/V, Telecommunication, Fire Alarm and Security Systems.
Electrical Systems Description. A. Intent This performance criteria is intended to define the level of performance of the electrical system. The parameters used herein will form the basis of the electrical system design, equipment selection and system sizing.
B. General Project Desription The project includes a new five story shell building including a four level garage as delineated in the architectural package. The building is planned to accommodate multiple lab/ office tenants with a 50-50 mix of office to lab area. The project will be LEED certified (Silver minimum). Provide LEED documentation in accordance with the LEED scorecard.
C. Codes and Standards The engineering calculations are based on the latest recommendations of ASHRAE, Article 220 of the National Electrical Code (NEC) and good engineering practices consistent with industry standards. The codes applicable to the design are as follows: • 2015 International Building Code • 2015 International Energy Conservation Code • 2015 International Fire Code with State of Maryland Amendments • 2014 National Electric Code • ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ County Code Amendments • NC LEED Standards – LEED Silver or Gold The standards applicable to the design are as follows: • Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) • Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc.

D. Project Overview The electrical systems are designed to support the entire shell building including garage as delineated in the architectural package. The core areas will be entirely fit out. Shell systems will be provided to accommodate the building fit out. Shell systems include normal power (20 W/ft2), stand by power systems (3 W/ft2), an addressable fire alarm system with expansion capability for tenant fit out work and data/ phone floor to floor wire management system to accommodate tenant fit out without requiring access to other tenant spaces. Systems sized for 50-50 office/ lab fit out. Tenant power risers are planned along with space for tenant panel boards and transformers. A main electrical service will be provided by Pepco pad mounted transformer with service entrance switchboards centrally located in the first level main electric room. A diesel generator will be provided to supply standby power to life safety systems and optional standby loads. Generator automatic transfer switches and emergency distribution equipment will be centrally located in the first floor main electrical room. Lighting fixt...
