A- GENERAL DESCRIPTION :
The Design Basis Report is a written explanation, and listing of all design codes regulations,
standards, criteria, guidelines, analysis, system’ configuration and description narratives and
graphics, calculations outlines, comprehensive listing of all drawings and specifications to be
developed, operational philosophies, special requirement, design approach, constraints, and
assumptions that will be followed through the development of the design and engineering
work of this task order.
Upon acceptance of the document, it sets an agreed upon path forward, for the Building
Systems Engineering & Design, between the Royal Commission and the A/E to proceed
further with the next stage of design development.
It serves as the ultimate reference, during the Value Engineering (VE) Workshop, to
illustrate and explain to its participants and audience the basis and purpose of each system
specific design.

D- DESIGN CRITERIA:
Task release has triggered the first part of the overall design delivery process, of which
this DBR forms the key component. The period up to the submission of this DBR at
100% (IFA) stage, involve data gathering and coordination process. Information has
been supplied by the RC, relating to previous schools and kindergartens along with
standardized formats.
The design team has absorbed and reviewed this data which has been used to form the
criteria stated in this document.
The Royal Commission (RC) will undertake all work related to the Site Topographical
& Geotechnical Surveys.
D1- ARCHITECTURAL:
D1.1 GENERAL CRITERA:

Occupancy/ Design calculations & Space Allocation
o Estimated Actual Number of Occupants including Visitors:
 59 person
o Estimated Maximum Number of Occupants including Visitors:

 59 person
o Minimum Number fire exits as per IBC

 2 exits as per IBC 2009 table 1021.1 & section 1021.1.2.
D1.2 SPECIFIC CRITERIA:

1
1.5
1.6
1.7
1.8
o Master plan
The design of this new service facility VIP Coach Parking is to be part of the future
expansion of the Transpiration Center site.
o Functionality
Page 7 of 69
027-T11, Task No. 9 DCN#02 14-Oct-22
90 % for Review
The design of this new service facility VIP Coach Parking is to be accessible to the
VIP buses, and not to interfere with other buses maneuver.
o Aesthetics
The design of the VIP Coach Parking shall be carefully considered to create and
maintain a common site aesthetic with particular emphasis on external finishes,
materials, colors, textures, components and features to match with the surrounding
buildings. The building shall be designed to be energy efficient with an insulated
construction, as appropriate and shall accommodate the local Saudi Arabian
environmental and climatic constraints and conditions.
o Sustainability
VIP Coach Parking shall assertively address long-term concerns for environmental
impact and energy conservation. The following help to address the overall
environmental impact of the building through sustainability.
 Minimize impact on the land surrounding the building.
 Provide insulation to meet the requirement.
o Maintainability
The evaluation of life cycle costs for building materials, systems and equipment, will
continue to be an issue in preparing construction drawings and specifications for the
foreseeable future. Life Cycle Costing (LCC) is simply selecting the most
appropriate/durable material based upon evaluation against the materials' longevity
and expected maintenance costs. Most LCC systems address mechanical, electrical
and plumbing equipment/systems. Analysis of architectural, civil and structural
materials are more a "judgment" call based upon past performance (life) history and
environmental factors.
o Flexibility
The building was design to be flexible for future expansion if required.
o Material and Resources

The building shall be constructed using materials that can be sourced locally and are
easy to maintain. (CMU) shall be used on the exterior walls with continuous thermal
insulation while concrete masonry units (CMU) shall be used for the interior walls.
The roof slab is light weight concrete and metal decking.

During the design stages, the architectural must advice each discipline before any
modifications to reference drawings to avoid inconsistency to the current reference
drawings and other disciplines to do so. Proper coordination is required to have
smooth flow while developing any conceptual and detailed design plans.
Lighting fixtures and others will comprise of Electronic Ballast and High Power
Factor (EBHPF), which means the higher the power factor the efficient and less
power consumption it will consume. In addition, most of the lightings will be used
are Fluorescent Tube to conserve energy compare and better illumination.
Equipment and devices which are subject to exposure from moist, water or even
outdoor location are prone from rust, dust and corrosive environments will also cause
of frequent tripping of circuit breakers and creates potential hazards must be in
NEMA configuration or IP code as required according to its condition in order to
mitigate the effect of equipment’s quick deterioration.

active equipments inside the Telecommunication room will not pass thru. Noise
generated by the active equipment will cause detrimental effect in the nearby workers
