cinveen 4, woes wort \ . General. Principals of design. a, Make ample provision in the piping, and in the equipnent, were practical, for anticipated future building expansion. Projects should be designed to achieve maximum wa~ ter and enerey conservation. Use of reduced slow Fixtures, mininizing temperatures, use of preheat fers using vaste heat or solar heat, tine-clock con trol, selection Of punpe with maxinun efficlency, ete.; should be consiered. Insist that the architect obtain accurate survey information before attenpting to Finalize outside work, because ie is inpossible 20 design this work Correctly without accurate information on existing conditions and final grades. Sn'routing the uLiding ueiisties, determine sf there are any utility interferences betwoon the building and street Bipe that you intend to con nect to, [in taking over a job rom someone else, do not assine that this has bean done by him; make Sure yoursel? thet your routing 1s clear.)

(2) all drainage and water piping installed in exterior valls and other locations where freezing Lea possibility mist be provided with heating cable and insulation.

Bven if shown on our drawings, if the piping oan not be fitted in the Field, a'good deal of time Gan be lost and construction cost can be incurred by eleia modifications of the design to make it workable. k.
