Abstract

These criteria apply to all new construction and to major alteration of existing structures. US military facilities that require higher standards because of special functions or missions are not covered in this manual; criteria for these and other exceptions are normally contained in a design directive. If standards given in this manual and its referenced documents do not provide all the needs of a project, recognized construction practices and design standards can be used.<br><strong>Purpose.</strong><br>This manual provides qualified designers the criteria and guidance required for design and construction of those features related to noise and vibration control of mechanical equipment systems most commonly encountered in military facilities.
