Does anyone know if there are load increase requirements for mechanical units used in buildings that fall under the design purview of the DoD UFC? There is a new RTU we are adding to an existing structure and I had previously read that "supports and connections for all equipment such as mechanical and electrical equipment supported from the structure or on the foundations shall be designed for 1.5 times the weight of the equipment"; however, I cannot find such a design load increase in UFC 4-010-01. Any knowledge shared would be appreciated.
