Equipment Rooms
An ER is an environmentally controlled centralized space for telecommunications equipment that usually houses a main or intermediate cross-connect. ERs differ from TRs in that ERs are generally considered to serve a building, a campus, a tenant, or a SP, whereas TRs serve a floor area of a building.

Entrance Facility
An EF is expected to provide the following: Point of demarcation between the SPs and customer premises cabling (if required). Primary (electrical) protection devices governed by the applicable electrical codes. Space to house the transition between cabling used in the OSP to cabling approved for intrabuilding use. This usually involves transition to fire-rated cable

Telecommunications Room (TR) Guidelines Floor Space Served There must be at least one TR or ER per floor. Multiple rooms are required if the cable length between the HC (FD) and the telecommunications outlet location, including slack, exceeds 90 m (295 ft) or if the usable floorspace to be served exceeds:

Space
Computer room, server room, machine room etc Control room General office area Telecommunications Entrance Facility
Function
To house the computer racks and communications equipment. A generic space with sufficient air conditioning, power supplies and communications cabling to allow a non-application specific IT environment with best use of space An area, adjoining the computer room, where all control and monitoring functions relevant to the site are concentrated An office area where the IT staff can work A room or area where all external communications cabling enters the building. It serves as a point of demarcation between different owners of cabling, provides a point for over-voltage protection and allows a transition from external (flammable) cables to internal cables. (Required BS 6701) Two required for T3/T4 If inert gas is used as the main fire suppression system then it requires a large volume for storage. Alternatively the gas bottles may be placed against a wall adjacent to the Computer Room or if a fluorocarbon gas is used (placed within the Computer Room) this area may be dispensed with
Electrical switch room A room where the external power cables enter the building and forms a point of demarcation between different cable owners plus all main switching and metering UPS and battery room Generator room For loads in excess of 100 kVA (TIA 942) it is recommended to have a separate UPS and battery room to save space and heat load in the main Computer Room To house the standby diesel generators. This may be in or adjacent to the main building
www.Capitoline.eu
Engineering IT Infrastructure Oil store To house the diesel fuel to run the standby generators for between 8 and 96 hours. This may be in or adjacent to the main building. The electrical switch room, UPS and generator must all be close to each other to minimise electrical losses in long power cables An area to store and unpack equipment and to build items like racks without making dust and causing disruption in the main Computer Room An area adjacent to the main doors to allow heavy equipment to be shipped into the building A secure entrance with anti-piggybacking- airlock controls A room to hold meeting and provide additional office space
Storage and build area Delivery and loading area Main entrance Planning and meeting room Internal staff facilities Electrical substation
Male/female/disabled toilets. Shower room. Basic dining area and kitchen facilities Due to the power load it is likely that separate electrical substation would be needed by the utility company. This should be away from the main building to reduce EMC issues If split DX units are to be used then a condenser unit is needed for each Computer Room DX unit. These must be in a secure area either adjacent to the main building or even on top of it, but preferably not over the computer room itself A secure main gate leading onto hard standing area of sufficient space and strength for HGVs to unload heavy equipment and manoeuvre
External staff facilities Parking space for cars, bicycle storage and smoking shelter

There are, and have been 3 types of exit signs, with an appropriate level of legislation enforcing each type :
.
This sign is now obsolete & was replaced with a pictogram sign from 24th December 1998
The Interim Format Sign, This sign is deemed to comply with Signs Directive and can be used within premises that already use this format.
The European Signs Directive Format as designated by the Health & Safety (Signs & Signals) Regulations. This is now the preferred format and must be applied to all new applications.
