U.S. ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS (Preparing Activity) NAVAL FACILITIES ENGINEERING COMMAND AIR FORCE CIVIL ENGINEERING SUPPORT AGENCY Record of Changes (changes indicated by \1\ /1/ ) Change No. Date Location UFC 3-540-04N 16 January 2004 FOREWORD The Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) system is prescribed by MIL-STD 3007 and provides planning, design, construction, sustainment, restoration, and modernization criteria, and applies to the Military Departments, the Defense Agencies, and the DoD Field Activities in accordance with USD(AT&L) Memorandum dated 29 May 2002. UFC will be used for all DoD projects and work for other customers where appropriate. All construction outside of the United States is also governed by Status of forces Agreements (SOFA), Host Nation Funded Construction Agreements (HNFA), and in some instances, Bilateral Infrastructure Agreements (BIA.) Therefore, the acquisition team must ensure compliance with the more stringent of the UFC, the SOFA, the HNFA, and the BIA, as applicable. UFC are living documents and will be periodically reviewed, updated, and made available to users as part of the Services’ responsibility for providing technical criteria for military construction. Headquarters, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (HQUSACE), Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC), and Air Force Civil Engineer Support Agency (AFCESA) are responsible for administration of the UFC system. Defense agencies should contact the preparing service for document interpretation and improvements. Technical content of UFC is the responsibility of the cognizant DoD working group. Recommended changes with supporting rationale should be sent to the respective service proponent office by the following electronic form: Criteria Change Request (CCR) . The form is also accessible from the Internet sites listed below. UFC are effective upon issuance and are distributed only in electronic media from the following source: Hard copies of UFC printed from electronic media should be checked against the current electronic version prior to use to ensure that they are current.

This UFC is comprised of two sections. Chapter 1 introduces this UFC and provides a listing of references to other Tri-Service documents closely related to the subject. Appendix A contains the full text copy of the previously released Military Handbook (MIL-HDBK) on this subject. This UFC serves as criteria until such time as the full text UFC is developed from the MIL-HDBK and other sources. This UFC provides general criteria for the design of diesel electric generating plants. Note that this document does not constitute a detailed technical design, maintenance or operations manual, and is issued as a general guide to the considerations associated with design of economical, efficient and environmentally acceptable heating plants. 1-2 APPLICABILITY. This UFC applies to all Navy service elements and Navy contractors; Army and Air Force service elements should use the appropriate references cited in paragraph 1-3 below; all other DoD agencies may use either document unless explicitly directed otherwise. 1-2.1 GENERAL BUILDING REQUIREMENTS. All DoD facilities must comply with UFC 1-200-01, Design: General Building Requirements. If any conflict occurs between this UFC and UFC 1-200-01, the requirements of UFC 1-200-01 take precedence. 1-2.2 SAFETY. All DoD facilities must comply with DODINST 6055.1 and applicable Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) safety and health standards. NOTE: All NAVY projects, must comply with OPNAVINST 5100.23 (series), Navy Occupational Safety and Health Program Manual . If any conflict occurs between this UFC and OPNAVINST 5100.23, the requirements of OPNAVINST 5100.23 take precedence. 1-2.3 FIRE PROTECTION. All DoD facilities must comply with UFC 3-600-01, Design: Fire Protection Engineering for Facilities. If any conflict occurs between this UFC and UFC 3-600-01, the requirements of UFC 3-600-01 take precedence. 1-2.4 ANTITERRORISM/FORCE PROTECTION. All DoD facilities must comply with UFC 4-010-01, Design: DoD Minimum Antiterrorism Standards for Buildings. If any conflict occurs between this UFC and UFC 4-010-01, the requirements of UFC 4-010-01 take precedence. For Evaluation Only.

APPROVED FOR PUBLIC RELEASE: DISTRIBUTION IS UNLIMITED AREA FACR MIL-HDBK-1003/11 PAGE ii INTENTIONALLY BLANK MIL-HDBK-1003/11 ABSTRACT This handbook provides basic design guidance which has been developed from extensive reevaluation of facilities. It is intended for use by experienced architects and engineers. The criteria presented is for the design of stationary diesel-electric generating plants for prime and standby/emergency duty. Planning factors are provided for plants incorporating the cogeneration of steam and/or hot-water for other uses. Changes required for utility interconnections, equipment applications and the types of waste-heat recovery cycles available for cogeneration are also provided. Data and criteria required for design of diesel-electric generating plants include information on the service category and the types of diesel prime movers, generators and utility interfaces available, sources of power and fuels available, other plant location factors, advantages and disadvantages of various plant ownership options, and electrical and thermal loads anticipated. Design criteria are included for diesel-engine auxiliaries and foundations, voltage ratings, generators and exciters, control wiring and components, piping, insulation, corrosion protection, and for various other design factors. Guidance is provided to assist in the design of different types of plant construction and of nonstandard plants. iii . 3-540-04N 16 January 2004 i CONTENTS Page CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION Paragraph 1- 1 PURPOSE AND SCOPE 1- 1 1- 2 APPLICABILITY 1- 1 1- 2 .1 General Building Requirements 1- 1 1- 2.2 Safety 1- 1 1- 2.3.
