Introduction
Hotel construction and operation have considerable environmental impact. Hotels, like
many other buildings, use resources and raw materials and also generate waste and
potentially harmful emissions. Sustainable Design consultants are required to take into
consideration the accessibility, security, health and productivity aspects of the
development while minimizing its impact on the environment. An integrated and
coordinated approach by the various stakeholders is key to the success of the
sustainable design.
Sustainable design supports the protection of the environment and conservation, and
seeks optimization of cost and benefits to the environment, society and humans without
compromising the functionality of the building.
See Attachment: Sustainable Design Criteria
1. Narrative:
Hyatt* believes it is our shared responsibility to combine astute asset management with a
passionate commitment to genuine and strategic stewardship of the environment.
We are committed to designing, building and managing innovative hotels that provide our guests
with authentic and comfortable accommodations that respect the natural environment and the
local communities in which we operate.
We engage and motivate our colleagues around the world to be our ambassadors in achieving
these goals, we work with suppliers to develop and provide innovative products and solutions, and
we strive to offer our guests unparalleled service in surroundings that reduce our impact on the
environment and positively contribute to the community.
*The term “Hyatt” refers to Hyatt Hotels & Resorts worldwide and the companies that manage,
operate, or franchise Hyatt Hotels & Resorts worldwide (whether branded “Hyatt”, “Hyatt
Regency”, “Park Hyatt”, “Grand Hyatt”, “Andaz”, “Hyatt Place”, or “Hyatt Summerfield Suites”),
namely Hyatt Corporation and its management subsidiaries and the direct and indirect
management subsidiaries of Hyatt International Corporation.
2. Design Philosophy:
As a global hospitality company and a citizen of the communities in which we operate, Hyatt views
the incorporation of sustainable practices into our design standards as both a business imperative
and as a responsibility. We strive to operate hotels that conserve natural resources, use materials
and resources wisely, and continue to adopt appropriate environmental standards throughout the
entire life cycle of a property. In emphasizing a design approach that guides our properties to
blend harmoniously & responsibly into their local context, reduce energy & water consumption,
minimize waste & harmful emissions, and make use of sustainable materials in their construction,
Hyatt stresses sustainable design as an integral component of its overall strategy.
Hyatt has adopted this Sustainable Design Criteria to be implemented in all our projects. However,
for certain projects and/or regions, some aspects of the criterion may not be advisable or readily
achievable. Therefore, the sustainable criteria items are categorized as “Minimum Standard” and
“Recommended.” The following are definitions for these terms:
Sustainable Criteria Definitions
In selecting items that are appropriate for a project, at no time shall these sustainable approaches
negatively impact our guest’s experience or the required Hyatt brand standards and design
criteria. The goal is to incorporate responsible, sustainable methods and materials into a property
while enhancing the guest’s stay at the property.
3. Key Features:
The following criteria are to be utilized in the construction of new properties and renovations of
existing Hyatt hotels:
o All building activities shall promote the protection of the welfare, health, and safety of
the population.
o All building activities shall have minimal ecological impact on the local environment.
o All design activities shall seek to maximize energy efficiency, use recycled &
recyclable products, and minimize the production of waste, harmful emissions and
the use of non-sustainable resources.
Design & Technical Criteria
The intent of this document is not to establish unique design concepts credited to Hyatt
Hotels Corporation but to provide the project owners and designers with those sustainable
approaches that shall be integrated in a Hyatt hotel. In the development of these Sustainable
Design criteria, many sources were evaluated as they related to the hospitality industry and
their appropriateness to Hyatt Hotels Corporation’s hotel brands. Some of Hyatt’s specific
minimum standards and recommendations have been modified to reflect our needs while
other references are more directly stated by referencing internationally recognized
organizations that provide design and/or construction guidelines. These published guidelines
shall be reviewed for the complete explanation and compliance requirements.
Renewable sources are defined by Center for Resource Solutions (CRS) Green-e products
certification requirements. Refer to www.green-e.org for additional details on Green-e
program. The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers
(ASHRAE) publishes three standards that pertain to Hyatt projects: ASHRAE 62.1-2004 is

Commissioning
Commissioning of the Building Energy Systems: MINIMUM STANDARD – Verify that all
the energy related systems are installed, calibrated, and perform based on the project
requirements, design, and construction documents. The commissioning process shall
ensure reduced energy use, lower operating costs, and improved occupant comfort. Initiate
the commissioning process during the beginning of the design process and following the
scope below:
Energy Performance
Minimum Energy Performance: MINIMUM STANDARD – Establish a minimum level of
energy efficiency for the building and systems. The design must comply with the mandatory
provisions of ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1 – 2004 in Section 5.4, 6.4, 7.4, 8.4, 9.4 and
10.4 and the prescriptive requirements in Sections 5.5, 6.5, 7.5 and 9.5. Alternatively to the
prescriptive requirements, the performance requirements of the same Standard addressed in
Section 11 may be met.
Scope of requirements addressed by ASHRAE 90.1 – 2004: Energy Standard for Buildings
Except Low-Rise Residential is as follows:
Section 5: Building Envelope.
Section 6: Heating, Ventilation and Air-conditioning (including parking garage ventilation,
freeze protection, exhaust air energy recovery and condenser heat recovery for
service water heating).
Section 7: Service water heating (including swimming pools).
Section 8: Power (including all building power distribution systems.
Section 9: Lighting (including lighting for exit signs, building exterior, grounds and parking
garage).
Section 10: Other equipment (including all permanently wired electrical motors).
Energy Performance Optimization: MINIMUM STANDARD – Ensure that the building’s
energy performance will exceed the established baseline by a minimum of 15%. Provide a
whole building Energy Simulation using the Building Performance Rating Method included in
Appendix G of ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1 – 2004, which includes the comparison of the
building design against a baseline building that complies with Appendix G. Some of the
fundamental strategies that can improve energy performance are reducing demand,
harvesting free energy, increasing efficiency and recovering waste energy.
Measurement & Verification: MINIMUM STANDARD – Develop a Measurement and
Verification plan that evaluates the building’s energy systems performance, for a minimum of
the first year of building’s operation after the completion of its construction. International
Performance Measurement & Verification Protocol (IPMVP) Volume III: Concepts and
Options for Determining Energy Saving in New Construction, April 2003, to be used for this
purpose. The plan shall be consistent with Option D of IPMVP (Whole Building Calibrated
Simulation, Savings Estimation). Compare the actual energy use of the building and its
systems with the performance predicted by a calibrated computer model. Calibrate by
adjusting the as-built simulation to reflect the actual operating conditions and parameters.
Install the necessary metering devices to measure energy use, track the performance of
estimated compared to actual performance by component or system to evaluate the energy
efficiency. (Reference source United States Green Building Council's (USGBC) LEED)
Refrigerant Management
Refrigerant Management: MINIMUM STANDARD – Specify that no Chlorofluorocarbons
(CFC) based refrigerants shall be used in the heating, ventilating, air-conditioning and
refrigerating systems of a building to help reduce ozone depletion. If existing HVAC systems
contain CFC and these systems are reused, develop a replacement schedule for these
systems.
Specify that refrigerants shall comply with the Montreal Protocol, don’t contribute to ozone
depletion, and minimize direct contributions to global warming.
Establish a threshold for the combined contributions to ozone depletion and global warming
potential. The formula providing the upper limit for these combined contributions is as follows:
LCGWP + LCODP x 105
Where LCGWP is the Lifecycle Direct Global Warming Potential in pounds of carbon dioxide
per ton-year and LCODP is the Lifecycle Ozone Depletion Potential in pounds of CFC11 per
ton-year. In both cases, ton refers to the unit of cooling capacity of refrigeration systems.
For detailed calculations of this threshold for the combined contributions to ozone depletion
and global warming potential, please refer to LEED Reference Guide for Green Building
Design and Construction, 2009 edition.

- The fan coil unit systems must be combined with an independent primary air
system also known as a Dedicated Outdoor Air System (DOAS), to bring pre-
treated outdoor air into the guestroom at the minimum rate of 100 m³/hr. Suites
require higher fresh airflow rates and must be adjusted as a percentage of the

indicate the need for a small jockey chiller. Alternately, two of the chillers may be
equipped with variable speed control.
- Selection of chiller machine types and refrigerants shall be in accordance with
prevailing international protocol, in addition to local code requirements.
Refrigerants to be free of CFCs.
Additional Selection Considerations
- Chemical and physical properties of available water and its cost.
- Availability and cost of hotel produced steam.

vane control on centrifugal refrigeration equipment shall all be investigated.
- Where electrically driven equipment is selected, the most energy efficient machine
over the full operating range with actual condenser water temperatures shall be
the basis for evaluation and design.
- Where conditions warrant, absorption machines shall be either double-effect
steam or directly-fired type.
- Where absorption machines are selected, due solely to lack of reliable electrical
service, (power outages exceed 250 hours annually), and when the number of
cooling degree-days (centigrade) are at 2,000 or more, 50% of the diversified
absorption capacity with all auxiliary equipment shall be connected to the
emergency power plant. (See other sections of the Mechanical and Electrical
Systems chapters for additional details.)
- In locations where water is extremely scarce and/or expensive, or where the
quality of water is adversely corrosive, air-cooled condensers should be used, as
long as they are economically justifiable. The location must be carefully studied to
ensure that H.I.T.S.’ Acoustical Performance requirements are met, sufficient
space for this equipment is available and that it does not affect the architectural or
landscape aesthetics.
- Steam turbine, diesel engine, double-effect, or directly-fired absorption types
when used, offer potential for high-grade heat recovery. This recovered heat
should be used to preheat domestic water, and reheat at air handling units for
temperature and humidity control. Reciprocating, screw type and centrifugal
machines offer low-grade heat recovery potential and the recovered heat may
also be used appropriately.
- In areas of low Wet Bulb temperatures, conditions could provide an opportunity to
divert cooling tower water directly, or through a heat exchanger, to do free
sensible cooling.
Winter Operation
- For winter operation of air-cooled condensers, industrial grade (phosphate based)
ethylene glycol or propylene glycol with corrosion inhibitors without fouling shall be
used up to 50% glycol-to-water solution: in chillers and condenser water loops.

owners prior to Hyatt’s take over of chillers.
Pump Circuits
- Chilled water and condenser water pump circuits shall be arranged for maximum
flexibility such that any pump can operate with any refrigeration machine or

system for capital operational cost advantage.
- In primary and secondary loop circuit configuration variable speed pumps in the
secondary loop and individual matching pumps for each chiller is recommended.
Alternatively, pressure differential bypass control valves shall be installed on
chilled water circuits where two-way valves are used.
“Thermal storage” technologies should be considered, depending on electricity rates,
as an operating cost conservation measure. This technology may also yield
investment cost advantages for short peak demand loads.
Other means of cooling such as deep lake or sea water cooling, if available, should
be considered.
Cooling Towers
Configuration
- Cooling towers shall be arranged in a multi-cell configuration, with one (1) cell for
each refrigeration machine, and piped so that each cell can be isolated and
operated independently.
- Cooling towers may either be induced-draft or forced-draft type, minimally
constructed of materials best suited for the ambient conditions and corrosiveness
of the condensing water.

Water Source and Quality
- If it is contemplated to obtain condensing water from wells on site, the
specifications of all equipment which will be affected, must be held in abeyance
until actual samples of the water can be tested and H.I.T.S. approval received. In
such cases, every effort shall be made to have these wells drilled before
completion of the engineering work. If this procedure proves impossible or
impractical, the specifying engineer shall make an assumption based on the best
information available, for bidding purposes only. Only at such time as water
samples have been obtained and evaluated with H.I.T.S. approval, can equipment
be released for manufacturing.
Water Treatment
- Special provisions for treatment of cooling tower water must be made to minimize
concentrations of corrosive elements, scale and biological fouling. The water
treatment system shall be designed to control scale, slime and algae for optimal
system efficiency and shall also be designed to reduce bacteria levels.
An automatic chemical dosing system for cooling tower water treatment shall
be provided. The system shall have adjustable dosing capacity with strip chart
recorder of maintained conductivity, and an alarm for suspended and
dissolved solids.
Two types of chemical dosage are required, a biocide to fight bacteria such as
Legionella, and a scale and corrosion inhibitor. Dosing of biocide will be made
periodically once or twice per week based on time clock, and the dosing of
inhibitor will be based on a flow meter installed on the bleed line.
Conductivity and a pH sensor must be installed on the condenser water, which
will trigger the bleeding of water through a solenoid valve when the measured
values of conductivity or pH rises above the pre set values.
In areas with water hardness level higher than 200 PPM CaCO3, softening of
cooling tower makeup water is required.
Where brackish water is in excess of 2000 PPM TDS, demineralization or use
of air-cooled condensers are to be considered.
Water treatment chemical shall also be introduced to the closed chilled water
loop as recommended to ensure the longevity of the system. A means for
dosing for this system shall be provided.

use of non-chemical methods for control of bacteria, biofilms and Legionella.
Winter Operation
- Where outside design conditions are below freezing, one (1) cell and all exposed
piping shall be heated and protected from freezing. Cooling tower cells where
used for winter operation must, in addition to the normal temperature control
thermostat, be equipped with a thermostat to interrupt the fan circuit when
entering air temperature is at 6°C or lower and to divert water to pan at 3°C.

Alarm Notification
The fire alarm notification shall operate on the basis of a two level escalation procedure.
The initiation and sequencing of alarm conditions if permitted by the authority having
jurisdiction shall be as follows:
Level One
Any alarm condition must initiate an automatic call to the municipal fire station(s)
serving the hotel location and the hotel fire brigade. A trouble signal should not be
programmed to sound evacuation.
Any alarm condition shall be transmitted to and interface with the hotel PABX to
automatically dial up a pre determined group of extensions and transmit information
concerning the alarm condition and zone concerned.
The level one status shall be the triggering of a single device such as any detector, a
manual pull station or any sprinkler or extinguishing system flow switch. If permitted
by the authority having jurisdiction, any one of these actions will activate a local alarm
at each panel triggering the evacuation level one alert message in BOH areas, at
executive offices and control rooms.
Subject to approval from the authorities having jurisdiction over the project, this first
level alarm sounding at each control panel may be "muted" by fire brigade in
attendance or by a trained hotel employee at any control panel within a period not
exceeding 60 seconds. In this event the alarm and evacuation system shall
immediately stand down for a period not to exceed 180 second except in BOH areas,
where an alert tone shall continue to be broadcast at a low volume level.
In addition, and subject to further approval from the authorities having jurisdiction over
the project, this period of 180 seconds will be allowed to elapse during which the
source of the level one alarm can be investigated. If the source of the alarm is found
to be false, a trouble alarm or eliminated during the investigation period then, this
level one status can be re-set either by the fire brigade in attendance, or by a trained
hotel employee inputting a password and individual pin identification. In this situation
the system would not re-sound either the alarm or evacuation message. If the 180
seconds investigation period is exceeded, the system would immediately escalate to
a level two status.
Level Two
The level two status shall also be automatically initiated by the failure to “mute” the
system within 60 seconds or the triggering of any second device in an already
alarmed area or the triggering of any device in an immediately area adjacent to an
alarmed area before the 180 seconds expire. Any one of these actions will
automatically set the fire alarm sounders at a higher volume level and cause the
evacuation system to transmit the “evacuation message” in all zones within the
building or transmit a staged intelligently analyzed and prioritized evacuation as
deemed appropriate.
- The level two status cannot be "silenced" but can, with prior approval by the
authorities having jurisdiction over the project, be interrupted, delayed or
discontinued by live voice instruction, only by the fire brigade in attendance or by
a trained hotel employee inputting a password and individual pin identification
whilst awaiting the arrival of the fire brigade.
- A level two activation of the system may however only be re-set by attendance of
the fire brigade.
- The re-setting of the level two status shall be accompanied by transmittal of a live
voice or pre recorded "all clear" message to all zones alarmed and/or other
selected zones consisting of an introductory pulse tone for not less than five
seconds or more than ten seconds, followed by the "all clear" message. The "all
clear" message shall advice that the alarm has been investigated and that it is
now safe and to remain inside the building.
Evacuation System
Design Parameters
The emergency evacuation system must minimally provide the following
requirements:
- Automatic, two level, zoned evacuation system synchronized with the fire alarm
system operating parameters, with automatic reporting.
- One way voice communication system using speakers.
- The emergency evacuation system shall be autonomous from all other systems
requiring a dedicated amplifier, dual circuit line and speaker network. Alternatively,
and with prior approval by the authorities having jurisdiction over the project, the
emergency evacuation system may be integrated with a background music
system provided the minimum standards, contained herein, of both individual
systems are maintained.
- Speaker system shall be equipped with testing facilities to ensure that the
evacuation system shall prevail over background music or other non-essential
transmissions.
- Automatic broadcast of pre recorded alert and evacuation messages minimally in
local and English languages with microphone input for live voice manual override.
All speakers in any zone or any group of zones shall be selectable by manual
control switches.
- All audio sources in an affected zone to be overridden by the alert and/or
evacuation message.
The system shall allow simultaneous transmission of an alert message to one zone, a
voice message to another zone and an evacuation message to another.
The system shall have as many channels as there are zones. A minimum of three (3)
channels must be supplied: an ALERT channel, an EVAC channel and a PAGE
channel.
Each zone must be divided into two circuits. Circuit A and circuit B speakers must be
connected in an alternate format so that upon a circuit failure, 50% of the speakers
are still audible.
The emergency evacuation and voice alarm system amplification equipment to be
sized to accommodate the total quantity of speakers for each channel plus 25% spare
reserve capacity in each channel.
Hotels with externally occupied areas require speakers throughout all external areas.
The system shall provide addressable conditions for each zone and for each device
within each zone. Minimally provide a zone for:
- Each guestroom.
- Each room within a suite.
- Each zone of each guestroom level corridor.
- Each guest floor pantry
- Each section of each MEP plant room.
- Each food and beverage outlet.
- Each room/area of each kitchen.
- Each back of house room.
- Each zone of each back of house level corridor.
- Each Public area room and zone within the room.
- Each Public area level corridor.
- Each level of each staircase.
The following explains the sequencing of Level 1 and Level 2 evacuation activities:
Level One
At this level the evacuation "Alert" message shall be automatically transmitted to the
back of house areas provided the triggering of the fire detection and alarm system did
not take place in the back of house.
The "Alert" message will be preceded by and consist of an introductory pulse tone for
not less than five seconds or more than ten seconds followed by a pre recorded
"Alert" message. The message shall advise that an alarm has been received in a
stated area and that the occupants should prepare to evacuate the building if the
evacuation message is given. At the end of each message loop the alarm tone will
continue for five seconds followed again by the pre recorded alert message. This
sequence will continue until the fire alarm system has been muted or reset.
Level Two
An introductory pulse tone for not less than five seconds or more than ten seconds
followed by a pre recorded "evacuation" message. The message shall advice all
building occupants to leave the building immediately in a calm and orderly manner.
At the end of each message loop the alarm tone will continue for five seconds
followed again by the pre recorded evacuation message. This sequence will continue
until the fire alarm system has been reset.
The second level "evacuation" message shall be transmitted to all internal and
external covered areas. The order of transmissions shall, with prior approval from the
authorities having jurisdiction, follow a sequential order to address the alarmed zone,
adjacent areas, exiting routes, priority occupancy levels and all remaining areas. A
staged intelligently analyzed and prioritized evacuation must be provided.
Both alert and evacuation messages are to be distinct, authoritative without inflection
and may be repeated in several languages.
The re-setting of the level two status shall be accompanied by transmittal of a live
voice or pre recorded "all clear" message to all zones alarmed and/or other selected
zones consisting of an introductory pulse tone for not less than five seconds or more
than ten seconds, followed by the "all clear" message. The "all clear" message shall
advice that the alarm has been investigated and that it is now safe and to remain
inside the building.

Operational Concept
Hotel security is a growing concern among travelers throughout the world. One only has
to look at the negative impact on hotel bookings, following a highly publicized tourist
attack, to see how important the perception of security is to the traveler.
When there is a choice, travelers will seek out a hotel property that has superior security
features and services, particularly if the destination is considered to be a potentially high-
risk environment for crime or terrorism. It is therefore compelling in today’s business
environment that security considerations are fully integrated into the design and
development attributes of a property.
Static Barriers
The hotel’s perimeter should be clearly marked for both business and legal purposes so
that the line between public and private property is delineated. Walls, fences and natural
barriers are common structures for marking territory, controlling access to a facility and
to effectively deter or delay an intrusion attempt. The nature of a perimeter wall, fence or
natural barrier is to:
Provide a legal boundary.
Control & allow screening of authorized entries.
Allow early detection of an intruder.
Deter casual intruders.
Cause an intruder to take an overt action that demonstrates intent.
Establish a physical & psychological deterrent.
Allow for effective use of officer & security monitoring forces.
Make unauthorized entry difficult.
Delay entry time, providing more chance for detection.
Static Barrier Requirements
Must extend throughout the perimeter of the property and in accordance with needs
outlined in available security assessment / basis of design reports. Barriers can be
natural (e.g. a river) or manmade. Manmade can be as follows:
- Walls
Walls must be at least 3 meters high.
For locations where increased risk of crime is known, walls may include a top
guard of 3 or 4 strands of barbed wire set at a 45 degree angle away from the
interior of the compound. This application must be coordinated with H.I.T.S.,
where required.
Openings such as culverts, tunnels, or manholes that extend under the wall
must be secured when larger than 620 sq cm.
Maintain clear zones of at least 90-150 cm on both sides of the fence.
- Bollards
88 cm high, 32 cm width, 154 cm foundation.
Ornamental steel trim or cast sleeves.
Galvanized for corrosion.
Spaced no greater than 1.5 meters apart.
- Fences
Fences must meet functional, environmental, local legal requirements and the
aesthetic needs of the business and community settings. If a chain link fence
surrounds the perimeter, it must consist of nine-gauge wire with a 50 mm
mesh. The height of the fence will depend on the projected risk to the area,
but 2.4 meters is the minimum.
For locations where increased risk of crime is known, three-strand barbwire
(top guard) placed on a forty-five degree angle away from the interior is also
required. This application, where required, must be coordinated with H.I.T.S.
- Fixed/Portable Barriers
Concrete.
Cable.
Mechanical (hydraulic, electrical).
Active or passive.
These can be used in layers across entry roads, thereby slowing down vehicles,
and to allow for reaction time from security personnel at entry points.
- Gates
Gates are breaks in perimeter barrier and therefore must provide the same
level of protection as the rest of the barrier. Where used, they must be
securable and able to withstand penetration by a vehicle.
Use as few gates as possible. Establish a balance between traffic flow
requirements and security considerations.
Gate construction material must be consistent with that of the surrounding
fence material.
Leaf hinged gates are prohibited.
Appropriate restricted access and traffic control signs must be posted to
indicate that vehicles should proceed only upon instructions from the gate
attendant.
- Gate Standards
Secured either electronically or with heavy-duty padlocks and case hardened
chains.
Drop-arm type gates with enough arm overhang to prevent it from slipping
easily off its hooked position. Sufficiently rigid to deter unauthorized entry by
bypassing, pushing through or scaling.
Arms extending at least 60 cm beyond the bollards placed at both ends and
opening mechanism must be chain-driven.
Automatic gates function manually as “fail safe”. Single locking, manual
locking device does not require the use of a chain.
Properties determined to have an Elevated Security Environment
- Must incorporate static perimeter barriers that adequately prevent unscreened
vehicles / persons from entering the standoff zone.
- Barriers must provide a uniform level of protection throughout the perimeter.
- Resort properties with unsecured beachfront will use a combination of manpower,
natural terrain and barrier walls in such a way that provides the maximum level of
protection along the beach perimeter that does not diminish the aesthetic quality
of the property.
Vehicle Barriers
Vehicle barriers’ purpose is to first prevent unauthorized vehicle access into a
predetermined standoff zone without being authenticated or physically screened and
searched by security personnel. Vehicle Barriers range from conventional traffic control
barriers used in parking garages and surface lots to crash-rated vehicle barriers
deployed at locations where a heightened security risk is present.
Vehicle Barrier Requirements
Conventional traffic control barriers are acceptable for locations where control of
vehicle access to surface parking, garage parking or loading dock locations is
warranted as a result a crime risk.
Crash-rated dynamic (operable) vehicle barriers should be employed at all vehicle
entrances for locations where control of vehicle access to surface parking, garage
parking or loading dock locations is warranted as a result of a terrorism risk.
Traffic controllers enforcing one-way traffic flow at all exit locations may be installed at
dedicated exit points upon approval by H.I.T.S. at certain locations where the
reduction of vehicle access points is not possible and determined to be impractical to
install crash-rated vehicle barriers at all access points.
For high volume areas, a series of barriers can also be employed.
Vehicle barriers must be designed considering vehicle throughput.
Suitable Traffic Control Barriers include:
- Parking Control Arms.
- Parking Control Sliding Gates.
Suitable One-Way Traffic Controllers include:
- Tiger Tooth and related tire shredding devices
Suitable Crash-rated Vehicle Barriers include:
- Raising Bollards.
- Surface Mount Plate Barriers.
- Cable & Chain Beam Barriers.
- Drum Barriers.
- Gate Barriers.
Drum, Plate and Bollard Barriers are generally the fastest acting, however Beam
barriers may be the least obtrusive.
Dynamic (active) crash-rated vehicle barriers can be hydraulic, electric or pneumatic
operated. The preferred method of operation is electric but hydraulic barriers are
acceptable; pneumatic should be avoided wherever possible.
Vehicle Barrier Standard
All vehicle barriers deployed as a result of the risk of terrorism must have passed a
government-sponsored crash test including, but not limited to:
- United States of America (USA) Department of State (DS) Crash Test Certification
where the barrier achieved a rating of K4 / L1 or greater.
Dynamic barrier with a rating greater than K4 / L1 may be required for loading
docks or vehicle paths where a speed greater than 48 kph is possible.
- United Kingdom / British Standards Institute (BSI) specification PAS 68:2007
where the barrier successfully prevented a penetration of a 6,800 kg vehicle
traveling at 48 kph.
- Applicable foreign government standard that attests to a successful barrier crash
test where the barrier successfully prevented a penetration of a 6,800 kg vehicle
traveling at 48 kph.
- Drum and Plate barriers should be able to be erected in a maximum of 3 seconds
in an emergency and in 3 to 15 seconds during normal operations.
- Beam barriers should close within 15-20 seconds.
- Depending on the barrier operation, excavation and suitable drainage will be
required with typically a 1.3 m depth for hydraulic operated barriers that require
regular maintenance.
- Dynamic barriers must be used in conjunction with static barriers installed
throughout the perimeter of the property that create the setback and / or standoff
distance.
Lighting
Lighting helps to decrease crime and provides a strong deterrent to intruders, prowlers
and vandals. Good lighting promotes a more secure environment because it illuminates
those who threaten your property and its occupants. In addition, security lights help to
prevent accidents due to inadequate lighting.
- For locations, Security Lighting must be supplied at entryways for both people and
vehicles. Parking lots and garages and Loading docks.
- Lighting at Hotels determined to be in an Elevated Security Environment shall be
equipped with additional lighting in the following locations:
Grounds.
Beach.

Please also refer to the Sample Flow Diagram for MEP Testing, Commissioning and
Handover in the Project Completion chapter that outlines activities and responsibilities
for each party i.e. Consultants, Contractors, Owner and H.I.T.S. / Hyatt.
General Introduction
In order to allow Hyatt to adequately plan and conduct its pre opening activities, the
Owner/Developer will confirm to Hyatt, in writing the formal opening date, within a period
not less than twelve (12) months prior to it. Any change to this formal opening date will
require the written mutual consent of both Owner/Developer and Hyatt.
To achieve a satisfactory hand over of the hotel to Hyatt, a sequential area-by-area
completion, as illustrated in the attached pro-forma hand over schedule, is required.
The MEP Consultant shall alert the owner/developer, contractors, subcontractors and
installers of MEP equipment of the following requirements, which are to become an
integral part of all contractual documents related to the installation of all MEP systems
and equipment.
Inspection by Hyatt
Following receipt of the pre hand over Inspection Report and subject to a satisfactory
level of completion achieved, Hyatt shall conduct their own inspection and detail:
Variances from approved minimum standards/contract specifications.
Defective architectural, MEP or interior works.
Defective, missing or incomplete FF&E.
Hyatt will issue this report to the Owner/Developer and any third parties as instructed.
Hyatt will be unable to take over any areas for which a report detailing their comments
has not been prepared and circulated, or any areas which have not been substantially
completed and installed with FF&E.
Consultant’s Responsibilities
The MEP and T&C Consultant will insure that all activities required for the
commissioning of major equipment be undertaken by factory trained personnel. In
addition, factory trained personnel shall provide adequate attendance at site dedicated
to instructing and training the hotel’s maintenance personnel in proper operation,
maintenance and diagnostic procedures of the equipment.
Specifications will require the installer to operate the equipment for the purpose of
running the components and to maintain safety, sanitary and comfort conditions for on
- site personnel.
Specifications will call for the transfer to Hyatt of minimally two sets of: as built
drawings, test and balance records, fan and pump performance curves, manuals
covering installation, start up, operation, maintenance, diagnosis, and parts
catalogues, minimally 2 weeks prior to testing related equipment.
The MEP consultant will bear in mind that contractors and construction personnel at
the job site may not be completely familiar with procedures, equipment and
interpretation of plans for the type of installation required. Sufficient details must be
included in the plans and specifications to compensate for such lack of familiarity.
The MEP consultant will apply his knowledge of the local conditions in specifying an
inventory of parts and consumables required by the operation of each system for a
minimum period of three months.
The attached List of Spare Items will be modified to reflect local conditions and will be
integrated into the specifications after approval by Hyatt International Technical
Services.
Testing & Commissioning consultant shall be required to perform the tasks described
in Phase 4 – Acceptance Phase and Phase 5 – Warranty Phase including but not
limited to reviewing the performance of building systems within 10 months after
completion and handover to Hyatt.
Also see Testing and Commissioning chapter of ER&MS more details on the activities
to be performed during this very important phase of the construction prior to handover
to Hyatt.
