PLINTH AREA RATES FOR MARRIED ACCOMMODATION
1. Plinth Area (PA) rates for married accommodation based on standard scheduled of rates
(SSR) 2010 as per approved by government is at Appendix A. These are basic rates as per SSR
2010 for double storey conventional type of construction based on E-in-C’s Line Plans 1990 series
as per Scale of Accommodation (SOA)2009. The specification in brief, based on which the rates
have been derived are at Annexure I. Market variation as prevalent will be added to the estimates.
2. In case the specification varies with those mentioned in relevant. Annexure suitable
addition/omissions shall be made in the basic Plinth area rate as per the rates specified at Appendix
B.
3. Additional provision over the rates at Appendix A will be made for the following:-
(a) Foundation: isolated RCC footing is included in the PA rates calculation unless
otherwise mentioned in the specification of the relevant building.
(b) RCC superstructure: extra amount for RCC framed construction shown
atAppendix ‘B’ caters for construction upto six stories only.
(c) Multi storied construction: while preparing AEs for multi storied construction,
provision contained in SSR 2010, Part-II (clause 1.14.2-General Rules) for increase of basic
PA Rates by 5% for 5 to 8 storeys, 10%for 9 to 12 storeys and 15% for 13 to 16 storeys shall
be adopted. For any other type of foundation, corresponding cost shall be added as given in
Appendix B after deducting cost of isolated RCC footing for double storey at the rates of Rs
1190/- per square meter.
(d) Seismic Provision: Rates is inclusive of strengthening as per Seismic Zone III
provisions. Provision for seismic zones other than zone III safeguards will be as per
Appendix‘B’.
(e) Anti Termite Safeguards:This will be calculated for the ground floor area only. For
pre-treatment of soil and foundation, additional rates admissible will be as per Appendix B.
(f) Ceiling Height: The rates given at Appendix ‘A’ are for a floor to ceiling height of 290
cm. In case increased height is necessary, extra element as per Appendix ‘B’ will be allowed
in the AEs.
(g) Mosquito Proofing: Rates at Appendix ‘B’ will be added to the basic PA rates to
provide mosquito proofing to doors and windows(opening outside).
(h) Coastal Proofing: Measures to offset the peculiar environmental effects in coastal
areas have not been accounted for in the basic rates and shall be catered for separately in
the AEs.
-10-
(j) Green Building Rating(GRIHA 3 Star): Additional features/provisions for making

buildings comply with (GHIHA 3 Star rating shall be provided as per requirement. Additional
amount in the estimate shall be catered for as a separate item with supporting details in the
Board Proceeding. An annexure shall be added to AEs specifying credit/points earned by each
Green Building feature to enable the building qualify for GRIHA 3 star rating. Extra amount on
account of Green Building norms should not exceed lesser of the following:-
(i) 10% of cost of project.
(ii) Cost as per CPWD rates in the area.
(k) In case alternate specifications other that those mentioned in the letter are desired to
be adopted due to local practice/environmental conditions not covered above, these shall be
clearly spelt out in the Board Proceedings and specifically explained in the estimates giving
financial effect of each item separately.
(l) All concrete work included in PA rates/additional rates are of M25 grade.
(m) Aluminium windows/grill shall be provided in all married accommodation as per the
latest MAP specifications. Additional cost shall be added in the AEs suitable in lieu of wooden
window considered in the PA rates.
4. The PA rates include cost of built in items of furniture to the extent mentioned at Appendix ‘A’.
All other items shall be provisioned separately in the furniture estimates.
5. Servants quarters and garages will normally be built as part of the main building of officers
quarters and rates for relevant accommodation will be applicable to that construction also. However,
whereverservants quarters and garages are built detached from the main building due to site
conditions, PA rates as shown in Appendix ‘A’ for servants quarters and garages will be applicable.
6. If certain additional elements and/or changed/specifications are technically necessary and no

matching savings from other elements of PA rates are possible, this, alongwith financial implication
will be brought out at the AE stage itself, as far as possible. CEs will ensure maximum economy in
design and specification, so that the pre -prices amount does not exceed the cost of the work as per
approved PA rates. If there is any variation, the same would be explained specifically giving financial
effect of each item separately. Where the pre- priced PA rates happen to be less than the approved
PA rates, a reduction statement shall be initiated to account for the same.
7. The PA rates above are issued with the concurrence of the MoD/D (Works-I) vide their U.O.No.

1.4.4 REINFORCEMENT
Reinforcement is sometimes expressed as sectional area of steel use as compared to the sectional
area of concrete i.e 1% steel in an RCC slab will mean that if the slab is cut, the cross section will
reveal 0.01 sqm of steel bar for every sqm of sectional area of slab. 1% reinforcement will indicate 78
Kg steel per cum of concrete (Based on steel weighting 7830 kg per cum. Thus :
0.5 % reinforcement = 39 Kg steel/m3of concrete

1% reinforcement = 78 Kg steel/m3 of concrete
1.5 % reinforcement = 117 Kg steel/m3 of concrete
2% reinforcement = 158 Kg steel /m3 of concrete
2 1/2% reinforcement = 196 Kg steel/m3 of concrete
3.5 % reinforcement = 274 Kg steel/m3 of concrete
4.5% reinforcement = 252 Kg steel/m3 of concrete
-62-
1.4.5 REINFORCEMENT REQUIRED

Reinforcement usually required in various situations is as follows:
Culverts and foundations : 0.5% to 1%

Landings in floor and roof slab : 1% to 1.5%
Arches, walls : 1% to 2%
Beams lintel and braces : 2% to 3%
Columns and struts : 1% to 3%
Columns and braces : 2% to 3%
Piles& Connection : 2% to 5%
Binding or lying wire
Binding or lying wire for reinforcement may be taken as 0.9 to 1.3 kg per quintal of
reinforcement
Note : Wastage of steel will depend on the size offcuts and possibility of using offcuts in
situation like chajjas, canopys etc. wastage of reinforcement varies forms 2 to 10 %.

2.5 HEAD LOSS DUE TO FRICTION IN PIPE
Friction loss in pipe has been worked out by modified Hazen William formula. As per the
formula friction loss in pipe is directly proportional to length of pipe but it is exponentially related
to discharge and dia of pipe. Hence friction loss has been worked out for various discharge values
and different dia but for fixed length of pipe line. Users are requested to multiply the corresponding
friction loss in pipeline by required length. Friction loss given here is applicable to GI/CI/DI pipes .

3.4 ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING DESIGNS:
1. Single Phase Electrical Power (In Watts) = VI Cosθ
Or Three Phase Electrical Power (Watt) = √3 VI Cosθ
Load (Watts)
I = V Cosθ (Single Phase)
Load (Watts)
I = √3V Cosϕ (Three Phase)
2. Load in Kilo Watts = KVA x Cosϕ
= KW
Cosϕ
(Where Cosϕ is power factor)
3. 1HP = 746 watts = 550ft. lbs./sec = 3300 ft.lbs/min

or 1HP = 735.5 Watts = 75k.M/Sec = 4500 KM/Min
or 1 KW = 1.34 HP
4. Electrical Units consumed (KWH) = Watt x hours

1000
5. Thumb rule for calculating No. of ceiling fans:-
(a) No. of ceiling fans (48” sweep) = Area of roof in sq mtr / 8.50
(b) No. of ceiling fans (56” sweep) = Area of roof in Sq mtr / 13.00
6. Illumination
Lux or lumen / m2 = 0.093 lumen / Sq.ft
No of electrical fittings = Area xLux 1.5 (Maint factor)

Lumen output of fitting x 0.5
= Area (Sq.ft) x Lumen (Per Sq. ft.required)

0.70 (efficiency of fitting) x lumen output fittings
7. Calculation for Air Circulators / Exhaust fans.
No. of Air Circulators / Exhaust fans = Floor Area (Sq.ft) x ht(ft) x air charge / hr

3.20 XLPE CABLES
XLPE or “cross linked polyethylene.” Was developed in 1950, but this process came into use
for insulating power Cables from 1964 onward, since then there has been a this progress in the use
of XLPE cable in electric power system because of their excellent performance. The major
advantages of these cables over other types are as under.
(a) Excellent physical & electrical properties of XLPE insulation.

(b) Availability of adequate supplies of good quality insulation and conductor shielding
compounds.
(c) Development of effective material handling and production processes for manufacture
of finished cables.
(d) Good operational electrical stress.
(e) Capability of carrying heavy currents.
(f) Easy to install as it with stand small bending radius & are light in weight moreover
jointing methods are easy as compared to other types.
(g) Free form height limitation and maintenance.
(h) No need for metallic sheath, thus it is free form the failures peculiar to metallic
sheeted cables, corrosion & fatigue.
Continuous current carrying capacity of 3 Core XLPE cables for voltage grade 6.6KV to 22
KV (which are generally used in the MES) area given in Table 1. These current carrying capacities
are based on the standard condition of installation which are indicated below.
(a) Maximum conductor temperature 90oC

(b) Thermal resistivity of soil 150oC CM/Watt
(c) Thermal resistivity of XLPE 350oC CM/Watt
(d) Thermal resistivity of PVC 650oC CM/Watt
(e) Ambient air temperature 40oC
(f) Ground temperature 30oC
(g) Depth of laying (Cables in ground)
(i) For 1.1 KV - 75 CM

(ii) For 3.3 KV to 11 KV - 90 CM
(iii) For 22 KV to 33 KV - 105 CM
For site conditions other than standard conditions the appropriate rating factors shall be used
for current carrying capacity (Table 2). The other constructional details of HT XLPE cables are listed
in Table 3, 4 & 5.

4.1 AIR CONDITIONING
4.1.1 Air conditioning: It is process or method of controlling conditions of atmospheric air

within a closed space with reference to temperature, humidity, air motion and cleanliness. For
human comfort following conditions should be maintained :
(a) Temperature : 24+20 C

(b) Relative Humidity (RH) : 40 to 60% (Normally 50%)
(c) Air Movement : 8 to 12 metre/minute
(d) Air Purity : 20 Microns
4.1.2 Unit of Refrigeration : The practical unit of refrigeration is expressed in terms of “tone of
refrigeration”(Written as TR). A tone of refrigeration defined as the amount of refrigeration effect
produced by uniform melting of one tone (1000 Kg) of ice at 0 0C in 24 Hours.

latitude. From the table 2 & 3 it may be worked out easily. Latitude & altitude of most of the important
stations have been given in table 1. Using method of interpolation solar gain for any degree of latitude
can be worked out from table 2. If any difficulty is experienced in working out correction factor, it may
be ignored. Even in this case accuracy of result will be 99% of more. The following approximate values
may also be taken by those who are unable to understand table 2 & 3.
(a) Temperature - 24+ 20C

(b) Relative humidity - 40 to 60%(Normally 50%)
(c) Ordinary glass windows protected with white shade - 186 Watt/Sqm
(d) Ordinary glass windows protected by venetian blinds - 314 Watt/Sqm
(e) Un protected ordinary glass windows - 558 Watt/Sqm
(f) Sky lights - 942 Watt/Sqm
4.3.2 Solar & Transmission Heat Gain through wall & Roof : Heat transmitted through building
material is calculated separately for each wall, roof etc and is given by the formula :-
H=AxUx T
Where H = Heat transmitted in wall

A = Area of concerned surface in sqm
U = Overall coefficient of Heat transmission in Watt/Sqm0C
T = Temperature difference causing heat transfer
(a) The value of U can be worked out as under :

U = 1
1 x1 x2 x3 1
+ + + + ⋯
f1 𝑘1 𝑘2 𝑘3 f1
Where f0 and f1 are outside and inside air film coefficients. x1, x2, x3 ………… are thickness of
building materials in metre forming the wall and k1, k2, k3 ……….are their conductivities. Conductivities
& conductance of various materials are given in table 4 Part A& B respectively. For homogeneous
materials conductivity and or heterogeneous materials conductance is used.
f0 =34.1 Watt/Sqm0C (corresponding to moving air velocity 24 Km/hr)

Or 22.7 Watt/ Sqm0C (corresponding to moving air velocity 12 Km/hr)
f1 = 9.4 Watt/Sqm0C (still air)
(b) U Values have to be calculated for all the different types of walls, floors, roofs doors
except in case type form a portion between two conditioned spaces.
(c) In case there is attic space combined ‘U’ for roof and ceiling is given by
U root x U ceiling
U combined = U root x U ceiling
(d) T is estimated as under (t0 = outside temperature, ti = inside temperature)
(i) For external walls shaded T = (t0 – ti)
(ii) For outside wall exposed to Sun T = (t0 – ti)+60C
(iii) For partition wall with unconditioned space T = (t0 – ti)-30C
(iv) For roof T = (t0 – ti)+170C
(v) For floor on ground T = 0
-143-
4.3.3 Transmission Gain Except wall & Roof :- Heat gain though glassed due to temperature
differences and heat gain though partition walls, doors , floors , ceiling are worked out and recorded
in heat load estimation form in the same way as done above.
4.3.4 Infiltration and outside air :-

(a) Ventilation requirement in Cmm (Cubic Metre per minute) based on standard given in
table 5 or in terms of air changes per hour is worked out.
(b) Infiltration air in Cmm from the formula
Infiltration = L x B X H XG/60 Cmm is worked out
Where L, B,H are length, breadth and height of the room in meter and value of G is :
1 for 1 Exposed walls
1.5 for 2 exposed walls
2 for 3 & 4 exposed walls
(c) Outside heat gain is to be calculated from the higher of ventilation in outside heat gain
is to be calculated from the higher of ventilation infiltration air quantities.
(d) With the help of psychometric chart, outside design condition, inside design condition
and outside air quantity as calculated in (C) above, find out separately the sensible heat gain
(SH) and latent heat gain (LH) due to outside air by following formula :
SH = 20.4 Cmm (T0 – T1) Watt
LH = 50 Cmm (W0-W1) Watts
Where, W0 = moisture content of outside air in gm of WV/Kg
W1= moisture content of inside air in gm of WV/Kg
(e) Since 100% air coming from outside does not come in contact of cooling coil and
some portion of air passes through the cooling coil without contacting the cooling coil and is
known as by pass air. Bypass air directly goes in conditioned space and gives load in room.
(1- BF) times outside air passes through cooling coil and gives load on cooling coil.
By pass factor for various types of cooling coil and various types of application are given in table 8
& 9 respectively.
All above information should be rec ordered as appropriate places given in heat load estimation
form.
4.3.5 Internal Heat Gain ;- Internal heat gain from people and electric motor may be
obtained from table 6 & 7 respectively and to be recorded at appropriate places in the form.
4.3.6 Add up all the sensible and latent heat gains in Watts calculated above separately. Add 5-
10% to cater for factor of safety heat gain through ducts and system heat gain to get the total heat
gain and divide this by 3517 to get tonnage of the plant required

Consumes very high amount of power. No control over relative humidity and air changes.
Normal life is 7 years.
(ii) Split type unit : they are same as window type AC unit, except that the compressor units
are located away from evaporator (fan) units. The noise of compressor is kept away. Norma
life is 7 years.
(iii) Package type Units : They are mini and compact central plant available upto 15 Ton
of capacity. This system is suitable for area between 100 to 1000 Sqm. Normal life is 7 years.
(iv) Central AC Units : They are suitable for larger areas. Excellent control over
temperature, humidity, clean air, air changes and noise. A properly designed central AC
Plant is reliable, effective and energy efficient. Hence for air conditioning areas in excess of
1000 Sqm. Central AC Plant is preferred. Normal life is 7 years.

95284/AC-GEN/E4(U2) 15 Mar 01
E-in-C’s List ‘A’ & ‘B’
PROVISION OF AIR CONDITIONING
1. Reference further to this HQ letter No 95284/E4(U2) dated 02 Dec 94.

2. During the scrutiny of air conditioning estimates, few cases have come to light where important
technical installations requiring stringent conditions like temperature, humidity and dust control are being
provided window/split type AC units. In some cases, even replacement of BER central AC plants with
window/split AC unit are being proposed and catered for.
3. This is technically not correct and cannot be accepted. It is also stated that the “Board has
recommended” the provision of window/split AC and accordingly provision of the same is catered for in the
AE. It may be appreciated that the Board invariably includes an engineer rep who is supposed to give
appropriate technical direction to the provisions envisaged for incorporation in the Board Proceedings.
4. In case of technically incorrect stand being insisted upon by members of the Board, a not of dissent
should be made along with signatures on the proceedings. The engineer member should be firm to stand
on his technical conviction based on knowledge and experience, putting on record the limitations of plant
being rejected, in the circumstances under consideration.
5. Technically window/split AC cannot be equated with central/package plant. The window/split units
have their inherent limitations and are not meant for maintaining the stringent conditions as may be required
for different type of technical equipments. Their prolonged use is also detrimental to health of in mates. Few
of the features of split/window air-conditioners are as given below :-
(a) These units can bring down the temperature by about 14 0 F to 250 F maximum. In case of
extreme ambient conditions these units fail to maintain constant required temperature. They exercise
no control on inside temperature or on its even distribution of air throughout the conditioned space.
(b) These units have no control on humidity which is a very essential condition for the high tech
electronic equipment.
(c) These units have no arrangement for fresh air intake and can not provide rigorous control
over dust filtration since these can not provide more than one air change per hour.
(d) Since the fresh air intake is negligible, staleness in the atmosphere sets in very quickly.
(e) Re-circulation of the same air over and over again particularly for split type units located in
the conditioned space, amounting to breathing with reduced oxygen intake and increased changes
of catching infections introduced once in the conditions space is a perpetual health hazard defence.
(f) Energy consumption /TR for central C plants is much lesser compared to the split/window air
conditioners. Committing an energy-starved nation to years of such preventable consumptions can
at best be rated “Unwarranted”.
(g) The window/split type air-conditioners have approximately half the life span (being high speed
compressors) as compared to central air-conditioning plant.
6. In view of above, it is once again stressed that the E/M rep of zonal CE/CWE who attends the Board
of Officers must bring out the aspects of windows/split AC systems and should not encourage the provision
of these units ‘Non critical inside conditions’ must not be taken as an easy escape route. The central air-
conditioning plant will also justify itself even purely from the energy consumption considerations and the
Board Proceedings must include dissent not on Technical Ground where unduly insisted upon by the users.
7. Amendment to Board Proceedings, where required must be got issued and approved by CFA.
8. This H will not progress any estimates found lacking in fulfilling these requirements. Such estimates
shall be returned to the Zonal CE unsanctioned.
