The larger groups of central plant rooms will be situated at ground level or basament level within the public parking areas, providing they have the required level. The other group of central plant rooms will be situated preferably on the opposite side of the block to the others, and will be connected to the trunking network with access to the other service gallery. lf the block is not approximately of the sama size as the Eixample block, then there will be just one central plant room. The central plant rooms situated at basement level should be able to guarantee that they are impermeable, through tanking and drainage, both by freatic and rainwater. Otherwise, they must be situated at street level. All new buildings and buildings that have been more than 50% refurbished will have central plant rooms, and will have provision for the necessary rights of way and connections to the interior ring of the block. Article 16. The interior circuit The service distribution conduits to the different buildings in each block will generally be concentrated in the intemal circuit, which will originats in the plant room and will extend along the perimeter of the block, linking the plant rooms to the service galleries. The ring will dispose of a 2m wide free area. The interior circuit will have the functional characteristics detailed in Plan n° 2.3, and sufficient capacity to contain the power supply, telecommunications, gas, cleaning, refuse disposa!, water and air­ conditioning services. The services contained within the circuit will be sufficient for the needs of the block, and in soma situations, for the adjoining blocks. There will be a provision within the circuit for two servi ce trays (30 x 1O cm) for the energy and telecommunications services managed by Barcelona City Council. Article 17. Operatlonal deployment 17.1 Actuations in blocks to be transformed The Urbanisation Project contemplates the elements necessary for each system. The placement of the galleries and central plant rooms will be such as to enable the provision of services to the first building within the block that requires them. The placement of the circuit must permit connection to all of the buildings within the SPECIAL INFRASTRUCTURES PLAN. POBLENOU DISTRICT, BARCELONA, OCTOBER 2000 23 block. Should the circuits require temporary modification, it will be at the developers own cost. The construction of new buildings will proceed maintaining the placement of the plant rooms, access points and circuit, permitting the maintenance of the functional and dimensional configuration of their own service requirements and those of the entire block. 17.2 Actuations in buildings to be reformed, new buildings or blocks not to be transformed. The first building to be built may connect itself to the services via the perimetral network. A right of way will be conceded to the Barcelona City Council to enable service connections to buildings within the block that may be redeveloped in the futura. Article 18. Gas mains 18.1 Actuation in blocks to be transformed. The gas main will be connected from the street to the interior circuit. This interior ring will be protected, will have limited access, and will have stopcocks situated at the connection to the main, on the interior circuit and at the connection to each building, in accordance with the current Gas lnstallation Regulations. Each building will have plant room for the gas meters. 18.2 Actuation in plots within blocks not be transformed. The connection to the building will be made from the underground main situated under the public highway. A right of way will be established for the building in question and for adjoining buildings, as a prevision for futura transformations of the block in which the building is situated. The rights of way will be in favour of the City Council. Article 19. Electrical supply 19.1 Minimum spatial provisions required within the block courtyards The courtyard of each block will dispose of two central plant rooms (Sales Tècniques), with minimum dimensions of 9.00 x 4.00 by 3.00 meters of free height. These spaces will be sufficient to house two 630 KVA transforrners and their necessary equipment. These central plant rooms should be diametrically opposed on each side of the block. lf the SPECIAL INFRASTRUCTURES PLAN. POBLENOU DISTRICT. BARCELONA.

Thermal insulation in buildings Thermal insulation in new or existing buildings to be rehabilitated will comply with the NBE-CT-79, NBE-AT-87 and Article 68 of the Municipal Regulations concerning thermal insulation, and any regulation that may replace them or supplement them in the future. Article 23. Solar energy systems 1. Sanitary hot water installations will make use of solar energy in accordance with the Municipal General Urban Environmental Regulations. The daily consumption of sanitary hot water for 22@ activities will be equivalent to that of office use. 2. In residential buildings, the installation points for washing machines and dishwashers will have a hot water supply destined for the use of bi-thermic equipment, apart from the usual water supply. 3. As project criteria, all new, rehabilitated and transformed buildings will have to install a photovoltaic system of electricity generation. The potential of the photovoltaic system will be at least 0.35 Wp for each square metre of floor area. The minimum potential corresponding to the buildings in each block or superblock may be grouped in one or more communal installation. Article 24. Telecommunications infrastructures 24.1 Central Plant Rooms a.) The Central Plant rooms will contain the necessary equipment to serve the whole block or superblock. One of these plant rooms will be 25m2 and the other 50m2. b.) The interior rings will unite the Central Plant rooms with plant rooms in each building. They will be dimensioned according to the Urbanisation Project, and will reserve free space for two Municipal service trays. c.) Barcelona City Council will have the right of use and management of the Central Plant rooms, as well as a right of way regarding the intemal circuit. 24.2 Control of communal Telecommunications infrastructures (ICT) SPECIAL INFRASTRUCTURES PLAN, POBLENOU DISTRICT, BARCELONA, OCTOBER 2000 27 a.) As a general norm, the ICT Law "Law regarding communal infrastructures permitting access to Telecommunications Services" 1/1998 of the 2ih February and the accompanying technical regulation RDL 279/1999 of the 22"d of 1999 will be applicable, without prejudice to the previsions of the Regulation regarding this area regarding the provision of the higher required levels of telecommunications services. b.) The plant rooms will have minimum dimensions of 25m2 when situated in industrial, commercial or office buildings and of 6m2 when situated in residential buildings. These plant rooms will contain the equipment and telecommunications services in accordance with the previsions of the Law of Communal Telecommunications Infrastructures (ICT) regarding Telecommunications lnstallations Precincts (RITI). c.) The roof terraces of new or reformed buildings will have plant rooms that will permit the installation of all of the equipment necessary to provide access to services via radio to all of the occupants of the building. The plant rooms will have minimum dimensions of 12m2 when situated in industrial, commercial or office buildings and of 6m2 when situated in residential buildings. These plant rooms will contain the equipment and telecommunications services in accordance with the previsions of the Law of Communal Telecommunications Infrastructures (ICT) regarding High-Level Telecommunications lnstallations Precincts (RITS). The high-level connections, permitting the connection of the RITS with the roof terrace, should be of at least 8 40mm tubes in order to facilitate access to radio-telecommunications. d.) In non-transformed blocks the network will be connected to the perimetral distribution network. In this case, the access to the building will be executed according to the ICT regulations, although the low-level access channel permitting access to the exterior of the building (from the low level access node to the RITI) will be of a minimum of 1O tubes of 63mm diameter. e.) The new or rehabilitated buildings, whether situated in transformed blocks or not, will dispose of the plant rooms, interior circuits etc, contemplated in this Regulation. f.) Barcelona City Council will have the right of use and management of the roof terrace plant rooms, as well as a right of way regarding the vertical conduits and plant rooms. 24.3 Requirements for the installation of radio systems SPECIAL INFRASTRUCTURES PLAN, POBLENOU DISTRICT, BARCELONA, OCTOBER 2000 28 a.) General Requirements. In order to minimise the visual and environmental impact of antennas and cable, individual antennas will not be permitted. The installation of collective antennas forat least each community is obligatory. Parabolic antennas for satellite reception will be installed on the roof terrace. Their installation on facades or balconies is prohibited. Parabolic, mobile telephone, base station, radio link or terminal equipment antennas will not be visible from the street. Cable draps or similar installations will not be permitted on the facades, or any other place visible from the street. The regulation regarding radio-electronic security that encapsulates the recommendations of the Council of Europa and Environmental Department of the Generalitat of Catalunya will be applied. b.) Diffusion of radio and television broadcasts The installation of antennas and amplifiers associated with the reception of terrestrial television and commercial FM for all users is obligatory. A single communal antenna will be installed in each building, with a minimum of two per block. The roof design must permit the installation of an antenna in each building and should include the appropriate high-level telecommunications precinct. c.) Satellite reception The installation of parabolic antennas and associated equipment in buildings is optional, but the provision must be made in roof design to permit their futura installation. Parabolic antennas will be installed directly on the roof terrace in the appropriate spot, pointing due south and close to the RITS. lt is recommended that 6m2 be reserved in order to comply with these conditions, and that the area should be a service area and not generally accessible. d.) Mobile telephone Mobile telephone base stations require an area of approximately 14m2. The construction project should consider that the building structure must be able to support the weight of the equipment and antennas. In order to avoid the proliferation of base stations, operators may not choose uncoordinated locations. The different PERI and Urbanisation Projects that comprise the MPGM will define the locations with the appropriate conditions, both geographical in order to permit adequate coverage and technical in order to permit the installation of adequate equipment and infrastructura. SPECIAL INFRASTRUCTURES PLAN, POBLENOU DISTRICT, BARCELONA, OCTOBER 2000 29 Buildings with the characteristics (location and height) that are appropriate for the situation of mobile telephone radio equipment will have to have provision already included in their project for the inclusion of a plant room on the roof terrace of 50m2 in order to accommodate the equipment of various operators. These spaces will be independent to those already mentioned in point 24.3.c. lt is also proposed that there be included the location for a support for communal antennas. Wherever possible, these plant rooms and communal antenna supports will be located on the roof of a building dedicated to public parking. The conduits that will carry the cables from the plant room to the antennas will be dimensioned to suit all operators. The risers necessary for the connection of the mobile telephone plant room with the RITI should be included in the communal infrastructura project in order to permit connection with the telecommunications trunking network. The rights of use and management for the plant room and antenna support will be ceded to Barcelona City Council, together with the rights of way to the risers and plant rooms e.) Access to the local network via radio. Buildings with the characteristics (location and height) that are appropriate for the situation radio equipment suitable for connection to the local network, will have to have provision already included in their project for the inclusion of a plant room on the roof terrace of 25m2 in order to accommodate the equipment of various operators. The possible locations will be determined in 3 buildings in Poblenou. The plant rooms will be shared between the various operators and will have a minimum area of 50m2. Where possible, these plant rooms and their antenna supports will be situated on the roof of buildings destined for public parking. As with the case of mobile telephone installations, the construction project will take into the account the structural resistance necessary for these installations. These plant rooms will be independent of those described in points 24.3c and 23.4d. The rights of use and management for the plant room and antenna support will be ceded to Barcelona City Council, to ensure that the operators co-ordinate installation of their equipment. The technical project should also consider the augmentation of the vertical riser that may be necessary in order to connect the equipment to the telecommunications plant room situated at a lower level connected to the trunking network. Barcelona City Council will have right of access to this vertical riser. A plant room of 1 x 1 x 1.5 m should be incorporated for the building terminals. This may be the RITS of the building to facilitate access, or on the roof terrace. There should be a provision for one terminal per building.
