The Reserve Facility is not air-conditioned. The Reserve Facility's electrical systems include lighting, power, alarm, and control systems. These systems are also integrated into the rack system. Conduits, fixtures, and junction boxes are supported by the racks and other structural elements of the Reserve Facility. The Reserve Facility uses a task-lighting approach, providing illumination only where required. The two open areas and the west mezzanine of the Reserve Facility have general illumination, while the rack system area is lighted with only minimal safety lighting, since the transtackers have their own lighting on the work platform. The Reserve Facility also contains a fire protection system that conforms to National Fire Protection Association code requirements. The fire protection system is a wet, water-based, sprinkler system, which provides protection for the contents of the racks. The sprinkler system includes sprinklers at roof level, supported by the roof, and at two other intermediate levels supported by the racks. One intermediate level is located at approximately 18.5 feet above the floor, and the other is located at approximately 39.5 feet above the floor. These intermediate sprinkler levels are integrated into the racks, and there are plywood shelves immediately above those sprinklerPage: Previous 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 Next
