MIL-HDBK-1036 Bachelor Housing See Notice 1 For Replacement InformationThis military handbook, MIL-HDBK-1036A, provides the basic design criteria for Navy and Marine Corps bachelor housing. It presents guidance for development of designs for bachelor housing, enlisted and officer,taking into account local program operations and requirements, as well as the new Office of the Secretary of Defense OSD Construction Standards. Refer to the Secretary of Defense Memorandum, dated 6 November 1995, in the front of this handbook, before the table of contents.

4.47      Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning (HVAC). HVAC should provide individual modules choice of heating and cooling year round with individual units to permit maintenance without overnight outages of either heating or cooling.  The selection of the type of HVAC system used for a housing significantly impacts the initial construction cost and the life cycle cost of the facility.  An existing HVAC system can be reused for renovation projects, but must provide individual heating and cooling of each apartment at any time.  Existing heating or cooling systems can be reused, but must provide individual heating and cooling of each apartment at any time.

4.47.1    Controls.  Provide an individual climate control in each apartment.  Plan the location of individual HVAC units within each module to minimize utility runs to the units. Provide heating or cooling in any season without regard for operation of adjacent apartments.

4.47.2    Energy Efficient Design.  Apply an integrated approach to the design of bachelor quarters that minimizes energy consumption and optimizes life cycle cost effective renewable energy possibilities.  Use a practical combination of site selection and siting, energy conserving building envelope technologies, energy efficiency HVAC systems to achieve this goal.  Incorporate renewable energy principles such as daylighting, passive and active solar, natural ventilation, and photovoltaics where they are life cycle cost effective.  Follow the guidance in NAVFACENGCOM Design Energy Target Reductions, Interim Technical Guidance, dated 5 June 1995, to achieve energy conserving designs for bachelor housing.

4.48      Plumbing.  Provide hot and cold water to public toilets, private bathrooms, kitchenettes, janitor closets, and laundry rooms.  Provide shutoff valves at fixtures.  Provide tank-type low water volume water closets in toilet rooms, of elongated or round, one-piece construction with a closed-front

seat and a lid.  Water closets and bath fixtures should match and should be neutral in color.

a)  Provide hose bibs on exterior walls of each building at 100 foot intervals; frost-free as dictated by climatic conditions.

rooms.

b)  Provide floor drains in janitor closets and laundry
