(D) Structural drawings. Structural drawings shall include: (i) plans for foundations, floors, roofs, and all intermediate levels; (ii) a complete design with sizes, sections, and the relative location of the various members; (iii) a schedule of beams, girders, and columns; (iv) dimensioned floor levels, column centers, and offsets; (v) details of all special connections, assemblies, and expansion joints; and (vi) special openings and pipe sleeves dimensioned or otherwise noted for easy reference. (E) Mechanical drawings. Mechanical drawings shall include: (i) complete ventilation systems (supply, return, exhaust), all fire and smoke partitions, locations of all dampers, registers, and grilles, air volume flow at each device, and identification of all spaces (e.g., corridor, patient room, operating room); (ii) boilers, chillers, heating and cooling piping systems (steam piping, hot water, chilled water), and associated pumps; (iii) cold and warm water supply systems, water heaters, storage tanks, circulating pumps, plumbing fixtures, emergency water storage tank(s) (if provided), and special piping systems such as for deionized water; (iv) nonflammable medical gas piping (oxygen, compressed medical air, vacuum systems, nitrous oxide), emergency shutoff valves, pressure gages, alarm modules, gas outlets; (v) drain piping systems (waste and soiled piping systems, laboratory drain systems, roof drain systems); (vi) fire protection piping systems (sprinkler piping systems, fire standpipe systems, water or chemical extinguisher piping system for cooking equipment); (vii) piping riser diagrams, equipment schedules, control diagrams or narrative description of controls, filters, and location of all duct-mounted smoke detectors; and (viii) laboratory exhaust and safety cabinets. (F) Electrical drawings. Electrical drawings shall include: (i) electrical service entrance with service switches, service feeders to the public service feeders, and characteristics of the light and power current including transformers and their connections; (ii) location of all normal electrical system and essential electrical system conduits, wiring, receptacles, light fixtures, switches, and equipment which require permanent electrical connections, on plans of each building level: (I) light fixtures marked distinctly to indicate connection to critical or life safety branch circuits or to normal lighting circuits; and (II) outlets marked distinctly to indicate connection to critical, life safety, or normal power circuits; (iii) telephone and communication, fixed computers, terminals, connections, outlets, and equipment; (iv) nurses calling system showing all stations, signals, and annunciators on the plans; (v) in addition to electrical plans, single line diagrams prepared for: (I) complete electrical system consisting of the normal electrical system and the essential electrical system including the on-site generator(s), transfer switch(es), emergency system (life safety branch and critical branch), equipment system, panels, subpanels, transformers, conduit, wire sizes, main switchboard, power panels, light panels, and equipment for additions to existing buildings, proposed new facilities, and remodeled portions of existing facilities.
