12-100 | Window Treatments
12-100-A | Utilize micro-blinds/ manually operated | 2 | 2 | 4 | 1 | 2 | 11 |  |  | Mecho shades usually not included in CD's and require a change order.  Consider tinting top of glass ($15/sf) or using different brand (30% cheaper).
CSI DIVISION 15 - HVAC & PLUMBING
15-100 | Fire Protection
15-100-A | Eliminate [NAME] | 1 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 7 |  |  | Small cost savings.  Should be eliminated unless required by code.
15-100-B | Do not design Wet/ Dry Systems, Only Dry | 2 | 4 | 2 | 3 | 2 | 13 |  |  | Prototype does not include sprinklers.  Hybrid system (wet building and dry drive-thru canopy) are costly.  Sprinkler system requirements vary by code - FSA should capture cost of meeting code.  In Chicago, buildings under 5,000 square feet do not require sprinklers. Decision to be made by BOA/ Program Architect.
Compare Dry Vs Wet Sprinkler Systems
15-100-C | [NAME] | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 10 |  |  | Over designed (as noted by CA code official).  Design to meet minimum local code requirements.
15-101 | Plumbing
15-101-A | Change 1.5” Service (Interior) to 1” | 4 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 2 | 10 |  |  | Omit flush-o-meters to save space (chase is thick) and reduced size of waterline to 1'' or 3/4''.  Save $5-10K for every 1/2'' decrease in size of waterline.  Additionally, some jurisdictions (i.e. CA) determine cost of water by size of waterline, not amount of water used.  Be sure to examine LEED implications of omitting flush-o-meters.
15-101-B | Use Type ‘M’ Copper where possible, eliminate Type ‘L’ | 3 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 11 |  |  | Bank only requires Type M - residential grade.  [NAME] call for Type L.  50% cost reduction by using [NAME]

15-101-F | Eliminate recessed [NAME] on Roof | 2 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 8 |  |  | Further, re-design 'cow's lip' overflow spout.  Currently made out of brass (susceptible to theft) and ruins masonry during freeze/thaw cycles.
15-101-G | Move water service to exterior wall | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 10 |  |  | Move water service as close to building as possible.  Should be handled during Lease negotiations.  Requires better communication with Transactions Group.
15-102 | Plumbing Fixtures
15-102-A | Use Tank Toilets in lieu of flush valves | 4 | 2 | 3 | 2 | 2 | 13 |  |  | Must consider [NAME] implications.  Tank toilets are also difficult to use when water pressure is low. Use of tank toilets will reduce the thickness of the chase wall.
15-102-B | Use Floor mounted toilets in lieu of wall mounted toilets | 2 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 2 | 13 |  |  | Decrease fixture costs by 50%. Hygienically speaking, wall mounted toilets are easier to clean.
15-102-C | Use Waterless Urinals | 1 | 3 | 2 | 3 | 2 | 11 |  |  | Initial cost is higher; however, it contributes to [NAME] credit and reduces water usage.  Urinals only used in large prototypes. Decision to be made by BOA/ Program Architect.

15-103-B | Use a 10 Gallon hot water heater instead of (No Suggestions) | 2 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 2 | 13 |  |  | Cost savings will vary by code.  In Chicago, (No Suggestions) must be hard-piped and require dedicated drain.  In New York, floor drain is only required with a urinal.
15-104 | [NAME]
15-104-A | Eliminate Overflow Drains/ Replace with Scupper/ French Drains | 2 | 3 | 3 | 1 | 2 | 11 |  |  | Limit number of overflow drains.  Examine ways to collect and store water (i.e. rain barrels) for [NAME] credit.
15-104-B | Under slab roof drains need to be coordinated with the diagonal wind bracing | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 10 |  |  | Revise CD's. Internal review of design documents should eliminate these issues. Decision to be made by BOA/ Program Architect.
15-105 | Plumbing Chase
15-105-A | Unisex Toilets | 4 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 12 |  |  | Varies by code/ Cannot implement in every jurisdiction. Decision to be made by BOA/ Program Architect.
15-106 | HVAC – Ductwork and Accessories
15-106-A | Use flex duct wherever possible | 2 | 3 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 11 |  |  | RTU location dictates run lengths.  Must use sheet metal if run is greater than 10'.
15-106-B | Use Pre-insulated Aluminum ducts in lieu of sheet metal ductwork | 3 | 3 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 12 |  |  | Approximately 4,000 lbs of sheet metal ductwork in prototypical banking center. Decision to be made by BOA/ Program Architect.
15-106-C | Revise spec to use a less costly diffuser | 1 | 2 | 4 | 2 | 2 | 11 |  |  | Not consistent across the country.
15-107 | HVAC – Equipment
15-107-A | Purchase RTU’s directly | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 10 |  |  | Carrier selected as national vendor/ Implementation in progress. GC's had reported procurement issues with multiple vendors.
15-107-B | Remove duct smoke detectors from RTU’s less than 2000CFM | 1 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 9 |  |  | Varies by code.
15-107-C | Install RTU’s above spaces they service | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 10 |  |  | Decrease ductwork/ Decision to be made by BOA/ Program Architect.
15-107-D | Prototype doesn’t fit all climates? | 4 | 3 | 3 | 2 | 2 | 14 |  |  | For example, South FL uses heat pumps.  Need to examine regional variations/code requirements. Decision to be made by BOA/ Program Architect.
15-107-E | Rethink thermostats | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 10 |  |  | Number and placement of t-stats should be standardized.
15-107-F | Reduce No. of units/ use self contained unit | 2 | 2 | 2 | 3 | 2 | 11 |  |  | RTU numbers and locations need to be reviewed.  Currently each bank has 4-5 constant volume RTU's.  Potential to install multi-zone RTU's and decrease overall number.  However, fewer RTU's require larger ductwork and thus, less room in the ceiling for electrical fixtures.
15-107-G | Use an automated BMS | 2 | 2 | 2 | 4 | 3 | 13 |  |  | Building Management Systems should help reduce operating costs and could be standardized based on the region and installed MEP systems. Decision to be made by BOA/ Program Architect.
