5、 altered, modernized, modified, rehabilitated, or renovated and converted to billeting/primary gathering building. Definitions of inhabited, uninhabited, primary gather building and billeting are found in UFC 4-010-01 DoD Minimum Antiterrorism Standards For Buildings. 1-3.2.4.2 When any portion of a
6、 building is modified from its current use to that of a mission essential building for one year or more, the building must meet the requirements for new construction. Note: Examples would include a warehouse being converted to an aircraft hangar. 1-3.2.4.3 When any portion of a building is modified
7、from its current use to any other occupancy use for two years or more, the building must meet the requirements for new construction. Changing groups of occupants within the occupancy classification does not constitute an occupancy change. Note: An example of modifying from one occupancy to another w
8、ould include an office building converted to mercantile. An example of changing groups of occupants would include an installation personnel function occupying the office space formally used by an installation contracting function. 1-3.3 Absence of Criteria When a specific application is not covered
9、by the criteria cited in this UFC, follow national building codes, recognized industry standards, and standard engineering practices. In the absence of such technical information, contact the DOD component authority having jurisdiction (refer to paragraph 1-3.6). 1-3.4 Performance-Based Fire Safety
10、Design. Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-UFC 3-600-01 26 September 2006 Change 1, 14 July 2009 5 It is permissible that performance-based fire safety design methods be applied to the renovation, restoration, remodeling or modernization
11、 of existing facilities to address the evaluation of a subsystem, system, or complete building when it is not possible to meet the provided prescriptive requirements for new construction. New facilities for which established prescriptive criteria exist, must not be permitted to use performance-based
12、 fire and life safety design methods. The use of performance-based fire safety design methods must only be permitted upon authorization by the DOD component authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) for new mission critical or unique facilities, where the user mandates requirements and objectives that are
13、 not addressed by established prescriptive requirements of national codes or this UFC. Performance-based fire safety design methods must not be used to eliminate required exiting requirements of NFPA 101, nor must it be used to eliminate automatic sprinkler systems required by DOD criteria. 1-3.4.1
14、Application and Use of Performance-Based Fire Safety Design Methods. If performance-based fire safety design is used or permitted by the DOD component AHJ, Appendix D describes the provisions and applicable requirements associated with the fire safety design of DOD facilities. Appendix D is in accor
15、dance with the performance-based option of NFPA 101, Life Safety Code, and the performance-based fire safety design approach of the Society of Fire Protection Engineers (SFPE), Introduction to Performance-Base Fire Safety. A fire protection engineer that meets the requirements of paragraph 1-6 below
16、 must perform the performance-based fire safety design. 1-3.5 Conflicts in Criteria. If a conflict exists between this UFC and any other DOD document, referenced code, standard, or publication, this UFC must take precedence. The individual DOD components may issue specific technical guidance that ex

Requests for approval must include written justification, hazard analysis, cost comparisons, criteria used, and other pe
22、rtinent data. Lack of funds is not considered sufficient justification for deviation from established criteria. Approved equivalencies and alternatives must only apply to the specific facility involved and do not constitute blanket approval for similar cases. 1-3.8 1 Exemptions. /1/ 1 Exemptions /1/
