The requirements of the Department of Housing & Works ( DHW ) - Energy Manual, "Energy Management in the Design of New Buildings", set acceptable thermal performance values for the building envelope. REVISION 30 November 2011 / PRINTED 07:13:59 / 24/08/2012 3
1.3.3
The commissioned consultant is responsible for the incorporation of appropriate cost effective strategies to minimise the termite risks to the project. The termite threat to buildings comes from the subterranean variety which rely on continual ground contact and reach wood food sources by building mud galleries. Rectification of termite damage whether it be to cupboards, roof trusses or skirtings can be expensive and in some cases an ongoing expense. For a building to meet the termite protection requirements of the Building Code of Australia (BCA), only the structural elements of the building have to be protected. This means that a building can meet the BCA and not provide termite protection for non structural timber parts such as internal fittings, skirtings and furniture. The decision on the level of protection to be provided in a building is usually a final one taken during design and cannot usually be cost effectively upgraded after the building is built. Termite barriers allow for ease of inspection of any termite activity by forcing them to take an inspectable route. There are two types of termite barriers, namely physical barriers and chemical barriers:
WESTERN AUSTRALIA POLICE BUILDING CODE TECHNICAL CRITERIA where applicable, handover information on the barriers, maintenance and operational issues which need to be considered to maintain the effectiveness of the barrier.
1.3.4
FINISHES
A Police station is subject to prolonged periods of use, up to 24 hours per day, seven days a week. As such the finishes need to be selected on the basis of: maintenance cost minimisation, with due consideration to life cycle costing, previously outlined in the Planning Section; ease of cleaning. In some activity spaces detainees or members of the public may be injured (bleeding), drunk (vomiting), aggressive etc. The finishes nominated on the activity space data sheets have been selected, based on the above, as preferred on a whole of state basis. Local conditions or construction type may necessitate variations to the nominated finishes. These shall satisfy the above criteria and be approved by the Project Control Group. For cell finishes refer to the CUSTODIAL DESIGN GUIDELINES.
1.3.4.2.1 FLOOR
The colour of floor finishes shall be selected so as to minimise the visual impact of dirt. e.g. police stations located in mining towns. Floor surfaces should enable freedom of movement of chair castors or glides. Carpet should be selected from the annual State contract range. Ceramic tiles shall be slip and water resistant. Sheet vinyl shall be water resistant, easy to clean, durable, and resilient. It shall be capable of being welded and coved for hygiene where necessary.

1.4.2
NATURAL LIGHT
Natural light provides a valuable means of improving the energy efficiency of buildings as well as being more appealing to people than artificial lighting. Research has shown that excluding natural light can lead to an increase in complaints about the working environment and may also have adverse effects on productivity. In order to minimise the energy consumption and provide a pleasant work environment, all habitable activity spaces ( including cells ) should, where possible, be provided with natural light. Glare and discomforting brightness contrasts should be avoided. Main circulation areas, including corridors, should be provided with natural light. Priority for natural light should be given to those activity spaces which are occupied for the greater part of the day e.g. shift supervisor's office.
1.4.3
ACOUSTICS
Noise emanating from a range of sources impacts on the building functionality. In order to minimise the effects of noise both on the building and the surrounds, input is required from all disciplines involved in the design and construction of the building. Police stations may operate up to 24 hours, seven days a week. Consideration needs to be given to noise sources generated under normal operational conditions e.g. movement of vehicles, both police and public, operation of air conditioning plant etc. Acoustic considerations to be addressed include:
WESTERN AUSTRALIA POLICE BUILDING CODE TECHNICAL CRITERIA These regulations set the maximum permissible sound level at the boundary of the site for various times of the day. The major design issues to be considered include: noise break out from mechanical equipment and plant room; activity noise, e.g. noise generated from spaces such as a lock up.

1.6.2.6.3.1 COMMISSIONING - INSTRUCTIONS FOR SETTING SOUND AND LEVELS ON VIS KITS AND CAMERA SETUP.
Power up system and check camera for focus and field of view. Ensure all occupants seated at table are clearly visible. Field of view should be centered on location where the person being interviewed will be seated. Check that with normal speech audio levels are approximately -5 to -10 on both channels on each recorder VU panel. The Alarm Piezo in the under table microphone box is an integral part of the Audio system. Its purpose is for system testing. If a low level of Audio is being received from the microphones the interview kit will put out a short duration pulse to energise the Alarm Piezo. This pulse will be fed back to the kit. If everything is working correctly the recording will continue. Alternately if one or both Audio channels are low an AUDIO FAIL will occur.
The best method found for setting the Alarm Piezo volume is as follows: 1. 2. 3. Have under table box loose so that easy access to Alarm Piezo volume control is available. Press record on the kit without any tapes. This will cause a continuous alarm (RECORD FAIL). Adjust the alarm Piezo volume control knob so that when the under table box is properly secured under the table a level between -20 to -10 is shown on the interview kit VU meters. Reset the kit by switching power OFF and then ON again. Clear the Interview Room and make sure it is silent in the Interview Room by closing the door. Place 2 new tapes in the interview kit and press RECORD. Allow the tapes to record for 3 minutes and if no AUDIO FAIL occurs the system is working correctly. If an AUDIO FAIL occurs the Alarm Piezo volume will need to be adjusted further. If you have any problems at this stage and you need information call Electronic Support Unit on 08 9370 7199. 6. Finally insert cassettes and press RECORD. Remove one microphone input from the side of the interview kit. After 35 secs AUDIO FAIL should occur. Press STOP/EJECT to RESET the kit.
