University of the Fraser Valley
Design Guidelines
2014
INTRODUCTION
Intent
The University of the Fraser Valley Design Guidelines are intended to highlight key design
standards so that quality, uniformity, compatibility, longevity, and ease of maintenance are
incorporated into every construction project.
UFV’s specifications orientate the design team to UFV standards and will expedite the flow
of information typically needed at the beginning a building project.
Function
The design guidelines function to:
a) Preserve and organize design information consistently from project to project.
b) Document and implement new standards based on experience gained from recently
complete projects.
c) Streamline project delivery among stakeholders internal and external to UFV.
d) Communicate to all parties of a design team building standards and systems that are to
be incorporated into a building project.
Organization
The design guidelines are indexed into Masterformat™ divisions. Masterformat™ is used
because it is a well-known industry standard. It is a logical and comprehensive system
ideally suited to quickly organize and retrieve design information.
Typically Masterformat™ is very prescriptive in its instructions and specifications to clearly
detail contract obligations. Please note that UFV’s Design Guidelines departs from the
prescriptive nature so that general design information can be communicated. For
example, general design criteria will often be listed under the major division heading, while
more specific information (if applicable) follows in numbered sections.
UFV’s specification listing is not intended to function as a complete list, and, as such, does
not relieve the design team from the responsibility to develop a comprehensive, code
compliant, and industry standard specification. The goal is to produce facility of quality
construction using durable materials that is operationally efficient and cost effective to
maintain. Building design must be considered in the context of UFV’s strategic plan so that
all spaces encourage and foster a vibrant and relevant teaching and learning environment:
1. provide the best undergraduate education in Canada;
2. be a leader of social, cultural, economic, and environmentally-responsible development
in the Fraser Valley;
3. and be innovative, entrepreneurial, and accountable in achieving our goals

University of the Fraser Valley
Design Guidelines
2014
The Design Guidelines are not meant to restrict creativity vital to every successful design
and construction project. Architects, designers, and consultants are encouraged to propose
cost effective and innovative variations that meet or exceed these guidelines in
consultation with UFV’s project team.

OVERARCHING DESIGN PRINCIPLES
Design for Longevity and Energy Efficiency
UFV strives to promote and model excellence in environmental responsibility. The following
are some strategies to be considered early in the design phase.
Site orientation: Careful consideration of a building’s orientation on the site can provide
opportunities to gain efficiencies in heating, ventilation, and lighting. Exterior building
facades designed according to exposure direction result in more daylight to the interior
spaces, natural ventilation, and reduce peak heating and cooling loads.
Energy efficiency: Heating, cooling, and lighting consume the majority of energy in a typical
building. Design building envelope and glazing systems to be well insulated, durable, and to
have minimal thermal bridging. Also consider energy saving strategies such as heat recovery
of rejected air, using thermal mass to moderate temperature, low velocity or displacement
ventilation, and systems that can utilized low grade heat.
Water efficiency: Building design is to incorporate water saving and treatment measures
such as low flow fixtures, landscaping with drought tolerant and native plants, allowing
more on site infiltration of storm water, and rainwater capture for irrigation or grey water
use.
Lighting: Incorporate high quality, efficient fixtures, luminaires and controls into the lighting
design. Occupants experience a connection with the outdoors and a more satisfactory work
environment when abundant natural light and outdoor views are maximized, while
reducing electric lighting costs. Construction Materials: Indoor air quality can be healthier
by using construction materials, sealants, finishes that are low volatileorganic compounds
and other pollutants.
Campus Indigenization
This space reserved to describe ways in which aboriginal knowledge, perspectives, and
culture can be integrated into UFV’s learning environment.

01 55 00 Vehicular Access, Parking, and Sign-in
The following is a UFV’s sign sign-in protocol for contractors working within existing
buildings.
01 55 00 CONTRACTOR SIGN-IN PROTOCOL
01 56 00 Temporary Barriers and Enclosures
The following are safety instructions and dust control measures for general contractors
working within existing buildings at UFV.
UFV departments and classrooms remain open and active throughout the year including
the summer season.
The following terms must be taken into account for renovation work within or adjacent to
occupied spaces.
to ensure public and work place safety for UFV employees, students, the general public,
and contractors. Dust and debris must be confined to the immediate work area.
The general contractor is to develop a debris and dust control plan prior to start work. The
contractor shall discuss this plan with the UFV representative responsible for approval, and
must post a written plan at the project site. The general contractor is to communicate this
plan to all sub-trades.
The general contractor is responsible to implement the following safety and security
strategies:
The contractor must provide a negative air pressure hepa filter fan(s) exhausted to the
outdoors for each renovation area.
The contractor is responsible to take precautions to prevent dust from being tracked to
adjacent areas and through the corridors:
The placement of sticky mats is required at exit points from the work area.
Drywall dust, etc. must be vacuumed up in a timely manner. (at the end of each work day as
a minimum.)
6 mil poly dust hoarding walls, ie. "zip walls", must be maintained in place and kept sealed
to prevent dust migration or drift to adjacent areas at all times.
"Tuck" tape is to be used in combination with painters tape to seal poly to the walls. Poly
seals must be maintained and braced to withstand air movement created by handling
systems.
Construct steel stud and plywood or gypsum board hoarding walls as indicated on the
plans, and as deemed necessary during site informational meetings.
[- 31 -]
University of the Fraser Valley
Design Guidelines
2014
Hoarding walls shall be fitted with a swing door and a door knob with and locking hardware
keyed to a contractor controlled key. In the case where temporary walls are not shown on
the floor plans, the requirement for hoarding walls can be confirmed with UFV
representative prior to start work.
Transporting debris or new construction materials within the building must be done in a
safe and tidy manner. Alert UFV's representative of large or bulky shipments. Use caution
cones and caution tape to keep the public at a safe distance from the delivery path.
Existing furniture and equipment in areas adjacent to the work area must be protected
from damage and dust by way of dust cloth coverings supplied by the contractor.
Ensure that forced air and return air systems are sufficiently isolated from non-construction
areas to prevent contamination within the duct systems.
Contractor is to do a general clean-up of the work area at the end of each work day.
Work that is excessively noisy or situated in a noise sensitive zone on campus may be done
before 8 am or after hours. Confirm with a UFV representative the scheduling of
excessively noisy work.
Drawings on-site:
A current copy of to scale construction drawings must be posted at the renovation site
during the course of construction. See 01 78 39.
01 78 39 Project Record Documents and Maintenance Manuals
As-built drawings:
The contractor shall be responsible to keep one set of white prints, including revision
drawings, in job site office. Using colours other than black, accurately record all as-built
construction, equipment, and service locations on the plans. Similarly, all changes,
addenda, and modifications due to field conditions shall be recorded on the as-built
drawings. Backfilling will not be allowed until underground service dimensions are marked
on plans.
Each discipline’s design professional is to review their corresponding as-built mark-ups to
ensure all changes are captured. Incomplete as-builts will be sent back to the contractor for
completion.
The contractor of each discipline shall engage their corresponding design professional to
transfer all the as-built mark-ups to a current version of AutoCAD format which will be
known as the record drawings. PDF versions shall be created from these AutoCAD record
drawings. A colour copy of the mark-up as-built drawings shall be scanned to PDF format.
The contractor of each discipline is to obtain a cost for CAD preparation of record drawings
and include this cost in the tender submittal, as well as the cost to colour scan mark-up
drawings to PDF.

MECHANICAL SYSTEMS GENERAL
These instructions shall apply to plumbing, HVAC, and other mechanical systems in all
newly-constructed facilities, including additions and alterations. Guidelines also form the
basis for upgrading existing facilities, where appropriate.
Reliability, maintainability, ease of operation, and maximizing energy conservation are of
prime importance in the design and installation of all mechanical systems. Electricity for the
purpose of heating should not be utilized.
To the greatest extent possible, like equipment should be of one manufacturer to allow for
standardization, familiarity, and ease of maintenance.
Careful consideration shall be given to providing for flexibility and future expandability.
Locate mechanical facilities so as to maximize flexibility for future building renovations.
In designing major mechanical and electrical rooms, consider ease of access for installing
future heavy equipment and maintenance. Main access should be at grade level. Large
overhead doors or knock-out panels may be considered. As part of this, piping and
ductwork should be accessible. All components of mechanical systems should be easily
accessible for cleaning and maintenance, including fire dampers.
[- 44 -]
University of the Fraser Valley
Design Guidelines
2014
UFV is to have full input into the design of the Controls System. UFV recommends the
Bacnet system. The proposed programming must be coordinated between UFV and the
controls consultant and submitted for review and approval at the appropriate submittal
phase. Submit the programming, all the standard logical point names, points to be
monitored, points to be controlled, points to be alarmed, programming formats, and
sequences of operations. The controls consultant will use this documentation as a guideline
when developing databases and programs for input into the Stand-Alone Control Units
(SCU's).
Information meters for utilities should be installed for new construction to provide energy
use information.
Lockable gas shutoff valves should be readily accessible in laboratories, preferably by doors,
so that gas can be easily turned off when the space is not in use.
Ensure that electrolytic action is avoided where dissimilar metals are likely to be in contact.
Specify equipment and fixtures that are C.S.A. approved.
DESIGN MANUAL
As early as possible in the design stage, provide UFV with a mechanical design philosophy
manual regarding the proposed mechanical system including provisions for future
expansion, the economic analysis of system selection, and data that would be of value to
the operation of the facility.
CONTROLS
UFV has specific host-based computer control systems, which monitor and/or control
building HVAC, electrical, life safety, operable windows, and other support systems on
campus. It is the responsibility of the Consultant and the controls consultant to coordinate
with UFV in developing a cost effective control system, which meets the needs of the
controls requirements. Integration of HVAC, Electrical, Security, and Life Safety systems
shall be through software without the creation of hardware inputs. Communication is to be
bi-directional. All data from each system shall be available to any other system for use in
global control and alarm strategies. UFV recommends the Bacnet system with open access
to different gateways.
All HVAC systems will be controlled by the computerized Direct Digital Control (DDC) format
through Stand-Alone Control Units (SCU’s) tied into the central host computer.
Coordinate with Facilities Services for standard logical point names, programming formats,
points to be monitored, points to be controlled, points to be alarmed, and sequences of
operations used by UFV. The controls consultant will use these standards as a guideline
when developing databases and programs for input into the SCU.
Wire hand-off-automatic switches on magnetic starters such that the position will bypass
controls, which are used to automatically start and stop a particular piece of equipment
with the exception of safety controls such as freeze-stats. Do not omit interlocks in the
hand position if unsafe or unacceptable conditions can be created.

Mount panels adjacent to associated equipment on vibration free walls or free-standing
angle iron supports.
Provide DDC panels capable of stand-alone operation as part of an integrated Building
Management System (BMS). Panels shall be connected via a Local Area Network (LAN). The
LAN shall be an industry standard, high speed peer-to-peer, token passing network, utilizing
packaged transmissions, error checking, and distributed error recovery. Single or multiple
stand-alone control panel failures shall not cause loss of communication between active
control panels connected on the LAN. Each LAN-connected control panel shall be equipped
with communications watching to automatically shutdown the control panel in the event
that it is monopolizing communications. Removal of a control panel from the LAN shall be
annunciated and logged to an exception report. The network shall operate at 2.5 megabaud

Provide 20% spare capacity for points at each LCU/IOU panel location.
Equipment shall be installed in locations providing adequate conditions for its specified
functioning. Allow adequate ventilation with no condensate traps.
Refrigerant shall R134A or as directed, depending upon the application. Other refrigerants
will be considered if required by special conditions.
HVAC
Provide openings in ductwork where required to accommodate thermometers and
controllers. Specify pitot tube openings where required for testing of systems, complete
with metal cans and spring device or screw to ensure against air leakage. Where openings
are provided in insulated ductwork, fit insulation material inside a metal ring.
Locate ducts with sufficient space around equipment to allow normal operating
maintenance activities. Air handling equipment shall be located in areas which will permit
ready access for servicing and removal of components for repairs. Install fire dampers such
that the position is readily discerned and resetting can be readily accomplished.
Louvres shall be equipped with bird screens that are easily removed from the interior of the
duct shaft. Locate fresh air intakes to prevent fumes or odours from entering the
ventilation system.
Design mixed-air plenums to ensure complete mixing of fresh and return air to eliminate
stratification.
The use of permanent, washable-type impingement filters is discouraged. The filter media
should be the disposable type. Provision should be made for possible future installation of
high efficiency media.
Thermostats should not be accessible to staff and the public, except in private offices.
Where overhead doors are used, interconnect doors to a relay to turn off heat when door is
in open position.
PLUMBING AND PIPING
Plastic plumbing fixtures are not recommended.
[- 46 -]
University of the Fraser Valley
Design Guidelines
2014
Specify pumps that facilitate maintenance.
Valves for each fixture and item of equipment should be arranged to allow equipment
removal without system shutdown. Locate valves for easy access and provide separate
support where necessary. Install adequate isolation bypass valves so that water systems
can be maintained in the facility. Shut off and drain valves shall be provided at the bottom
of all risers so that branches may be isolated for repairs without draining the complete
system.
Water-tempering valves should be installed on all shampoo sinks in hairdressing salons.
Alternatively, a storage tank with controlled temperature water may be considered.
Ensure sufficient clearance for proper installation of insulation and for access to valves, air
vents, drains, and unions.
Provide stainless steel bellows-type water hammer arrestors at top of all risers on water
lines connected to groups of fixtures, flush valves, and all quick-closing devices. Install
complete with accessible isolation valves.
Include end caps to faucets in that are located in ceiling spaces or behind finished surfaces.
On completion of laying and testing, building domestic water piping shall be pre-flushed,
chlorinated, and thoroughly flushed again, in accordance with AWWA C-601-54. Submit a
certificate to UFV from the testing firm stating that the chlorination and flushing has been
successfully completed as specified. At the end of the main, a trap shall be provided large
enough to develop velocity in the main of at least 0.76 m/s for flushing purposes. Refer to
Table 1 in AWWA C-106-54 specification. Chlorinate the mains such that a chlorine residual
of not less than 10 ppm remains in the water after 24 hours standing in the pipe.
Automatic chemical feeders should be installed on all hot water heating and cooling
systems.
Avoid locating water and drain piping over electrical equipment. Where this is unavoidable,
provide copper drip pans, and weld piping and fittings. Drip pans require drain and piping,
complete with U-trap, to an appropriate floor drain.
Pumps in closed systems should be equipped with mechanical seals to minimize leakage.
The mechanical consultant is to witness the cleaning operation of piping system and verify
that the procedure has been adequately carried out. Consider the use of “side-arm” filters
for removing silt and dirt during the normal operation of the systems. Chemicals used for
corrosion protection to be obtained through UFV.
FIRE PROTECTION
At the earliest stage possible in the project, consult the local fire marshal to determine the
requirements for automatic sprinklers and fire water flow and pressure. All piping to be
seismically restrained.
All fire hose waterlines exposed to the outside are to be insulated and electrically traced.
ACOUSTICS AND VIBRATION
[- 47 -]
University of the Fraser Valley
Design Guidelines
2014
It cannot be stressed too strongly that careful consideration must be given to the problem
of sounds generated within a given space by the various mechanical and electrical devices.
While design is usually sensitive to the issue of sound transfer between rooms, it generally
is much less so to sounds produced within spaces by fan and duct vibration, noisy lighting
ballasts, and the like.
If the total ambient noise within rooms and spaces requiring good voice communication is
adequately controlled, the need for electronic voice amplification systems can be
minimized or eliminated. Consultants shall therefore ensure that their mechanical and
electrical consultants design with these considerations in mind. Sound and vibration control
shall be designed in accordance with the applicable ASHRAE handbook.
Isolate vibrating machinery from both the structure and connecting piping and ductwork.
Use metal braided flexible connectors on piping rather than rubber.
Provide and install seismic restraints for all equipment, ductwork, and piping by this
specification division in accordance with all applicable building codes.
DRAINAGE
Special wastes piping refers primarily to laboratory antacid waters. For piping within a
building, consult with UFV.
For acid waste, drain lines beyond the building to the next major point of dilution shall be
duriron or cast iron. Other materials are not acceptable.
Interceptors and dilution tanks complete with a bypass shall be as large as practicable and
located such that maintenance can be readily accomplished. Locate solids, grease, and oil
traps adjacent to the pertinent sink or drain unit.
Additional care must be shown in the design of drains for specialty areas, such as shops,
where acid, clay, or food products are present. Carefully locate clean outs for drains to
provide ready access for efficient maintenance. Allow sufficient space for drain cleaning
equipment. Clean outs shall be above the urinal drain.
All drains must be tested before Substantial Completion.
Provide all waste stack vents through roofs with mushroom vent caps.
FUME HOODS
Fume exhaust fans may be either centrifugal or axial type. The motor shall be out of the air
stream. Special consideration shall be given to the ventilation of fume hoods. Where
feasible and functional, low-flow, low-volume fume hoods should be considered to reduce
the building heat loss due excess exhaust air.
Depending upon the usage, an emergency ventilation back up system may be required. No
type of fume exhaust fan shall be used where the unit must be removed from the ductwork
to change belts.
Fume exhaust fans shall be interior coated for protecting against corrosion or chemical
attach.
[- 48 -]
University of the Fraser Valley
Design Guidelines
2014
All fume hoods are to be provided with on/off timer switches and indicator lights.
ACCESS DOORS
Provide access panels on walls, ceilings, and ductwork to ensure that major mechanical
equipment is readily serviceable. Access for maintenance and parts adjustment shall be
provided. This includes, but is not limited to, valves, volume dampers including splitter
dampers, fire dampers, cleanouts, and controls.

University of the Fraser Valley
Design Guidelines
2014
Cooling equipment for IT closets shall have the capacity to maintain a room temperature
between 20-250C (ASHRAE recommended standard) to ensure reliability and long term
performance of equipment. UPS units are especially susceptible to shorten life due to
higher temperatures.
Three types of heat removal are acceptable for IT communication rooms and closets:
passive ventilation, fan-assisted ventilation, and dedicated cooling. The design of the
cooling system must take into account all variables that affect cooling, such as adjacent
room temperatures, ceiling clearance, and room dimensions compared to equipment size.
Using the building’s main HVAC system to cool an IT room is not acceptable because night
time and weekend cooling setbacks provide inconsistent cooling.
Because of the reasons outlined above, the following table is a general guideline only.
General Guidelines for IT Closets and Small Communication Rooms
Watts generated by equipment
<700 watts
<2000 watts
>2000 watts
Passive ventilation via wall

reduced site disturbance is required.
32 91 00 Planting - General
Confirm local municipal regulations in the landscape design.
Exterior landscape should consider amenity, personal safety, and maintenance. Hard and
soft landscaping should unify and complement the campus (building and grounds).
Give preference to regionally native plant species and the use of water conserving
landscaping techniques. Select low maintenance trees and plants that grow in climatic
conditions of the Fraser Valley. Identify and retain natural features, such as healthy trees,
rock outcrops, water features, etc., as far as is practical.
All areas shall be well drained, but not permit flooding onto adjacent properties. Grading
should direct surface water away from the building and outdoor use areas. Where the
grading will result in the collection of surface water, provide catch basins and suitable
underground drainage.
Avoid steep grades where possible. To prevent erosion, any slope greater than 25% shall
receive special treatment appropriate for the grade such as terracing or retaining walls.
Slope grade minimum 1.5:100 away from buildings.
Tree and shrub protection should be of concrete or similar hard surfaces to reduce
maintenance costs (while still presenting a good appearance). Landscaped areas at
entrances are to have border containment to minimize migration of bedding material into
the building by pedestrians. Do not locate trees or shrubs that may hide persons close to
entrances or parking areas (FAC 46).
Ensure a minimum of six metres of concrete paving in front of entrances to minimize the
tracking of soil into the building by pedestrians.
Do not place hedges against fences and buildings maintenance access is required. Avoid
planting trees and larger plants near drainage lines and foundation walls in order to prevent
the blocking of drains by roots.
