ICD 705 Design and Construction Essentials for Secure Facility Projects
Designing a secure government room is totally different from designing a standard commercial office room. Designing a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) the same way you would a typical tenant improvement would keep the project from moving forward, cause financial issues, and lead to a failed final accreditation. Secure space design needs total control of the perimeter. Every element of the room can be a line of defense to prevent visual observation, forced e
Non-Conductive Refrigerant Line Break Submittal Checklist
Passing your FFC? Use this non-conductive line-break submittal checklist from a premier SCIF HVAC manufacturer to ensure ICD 705 and TEMPEST compliance.
How to Select Non-Conductive Line Break Size for SCIFs
Designing HVAC systems for Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities (SCIFs) requires a completely different approach from standard commercial heating and cooling. When dealing with security, something like a copper refrigerant line can provide an unintended conductive pathway for electromagnetic signals that can breach the facility’s security. To avoid this issue, MEP engineers typically use a refrigerant line break for secure facilities. These systems let refrigerants
Why R-290 Is Gaining Popularity in Modern Refrigeration Systems
Sweeping changes to regulations on global commercial Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems have begun. Simultaneously, international environmental standards are systematically restricting the use of high Global Warming Potential (GWP) synthetic hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) and leading to the discontinuation of their use. As a consequence, design professionals and asset managers have begun re-evaluating the long-term plans for their business/country’s infrast
How MEP Engineers Detect Refrigerant Restrictions in HVAC Systems
Prevent HVAC downtime through early detection by a technician. Know the role of non-conductive refrigerant line break in resolving restrictions.
