PRODUCT DEFINITION
PRODUCT DEFINITION The Doubletree brand, which includes Doubletree Hotels, Suites, and Resorts, is a contemporary, firstclass, full service upscale hotel brand primarily located in major metropolitan areas and leisure destinations. Our uniquely designed properties afford travelers top-notch service, style and simplicity in settings as warm and friendly as the signature Doubletree Chocolate Chip Cookies we offer our guests at check-in. The Doubletree experience originates from the belief that formal, stuffy hotels don’t necessarily make business travelers any more productive or family vacations any more enjoyable. At Doubletree, we’re not like everyone else – we’re a breath of fresh air, an inviting hotel that understands its guests and actually is comfortable. Within the Doubletree brand, every development project is encouraged to embrace the local flavor and character of its respective market. We welcome innovation and contemporary ideas that support our business objectives and add distinctiveness to our brand. At or about the time a Licensee executes the Franchise Agreement, Doubletree will place Licensee in a Region as set forth below. The Region that Licensee is placed in is within the sole and absolute discretion of Doubletree. Licensee must comply with all standards applicable to that Region, which include those standards that are not limited by Region. In order to avoid any doubt, if the applicability of a standard or a section of a standard is limited to a specific Region and the Licensee has not been placed in that Region, then the standard or section, as the case may be, is not applicable to the hotel. Conversely, if the Licensee has been placed in that Region, the Licensee must comply with the standard or section.

INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
The Design and Construction Standards apply to the following situations: 1. Plan and specification review for proposed new construction projects 2. Plan and specification review for remodeling, refurbishing and renovation projects 3. Preparation of a Product Improvement Plan ("PIP") list in connection with a license application for the conversion of a non-Doubletree hotel to a Doubletree hotel 4. Preparation of a PIP list in connection with a license application for a change in ownership of a Doubletree hotel 5. Preparation of a PIP list in connection with an application by a Licensee for renewal of the Doubletree hotel license agreement 6. As referenced by the most current edition of the Doubletree Brand Standards Manual The Doubletree Hotel Design and Construction Standards Manual (“Manual”) provides definitive requirements for furnishings to be installed in all hotels. In those market driven locations where the general standard of finishes and furnishings (e.g. wall and floor finishes, fabrics, FF&E) is expected to be substantially higher than these minimum Standards, then the expected upgrades should be construed as additional requirements, subject to HHC/DT approval.

Ventilation (Make-up) Air Requirements A. Adequately conditioned and properly distributed ventilation air enhances indoor air quality and can positively pressurize a building. While indoor air quality is very important to the health and satisfaction of hotel guests, a positively pressurized building in a hot, humid climate also assists in controlling water vapor transmission through the building envelope and maintaining even temperature throughout the interior. Controlling water vapor protects the building from condensation in the wall cavities, thus reducing the potential for the growth of mold and mildew. In cold or mixed climates, designer should ensure that moisture transmission in the exterior walls does not result in undesirable moisture accumulation in wall and roof systems. In mixed climates, buildings should be designed neutral to slightly negative during winter, and neutral to slightly positive in summer. B. Corridor ventilation is required and also provides a positively pressurized space to

keep smoke from entering the path of egress. Refer to local code requirements for other smoke control requirements for corridors and means of egress. C. Providing ventilation air to guestrooms via the corridor is not permitted by most modern building codes, requiring air to be ducted directly to the individual guestroom. It is important that the equipment designed to make up exhaust air is specifically designed for this purpose to minimize operational cost and maintenance, and that the ventilation air is supplied at room neutral conditions. Common roof top units or other package units (including PTACs & FCUs) are not designed for this purpose. D. Operable windows, where they may meet the local codes for ventilation of residential occupancy, will not be allowed as the primary means of guestroom ventilation. E. Buildings in humid climates are to be pressurized with a make-up-air system providing 100% outside air during all humid months. In those climates defined as Cold by ASHRAE, maintain guestrooms neutral to slightly negative in order to minimize internal moisture migration through the wall cavity to the exterior cladding. F. Provide building air balance calculations to HHC for review and approval. See Building Air Balance Summary Form included in this section. G. Design ventilation air systems to comply with ASHRAE Standard 62-2001 Ventilation for Acceptable Indoor Air Quality and local codes. ASHRAE recommends 35 CFM intermittent exhaust per guest bath, 30 CFM per bedroom and 30 CFM per living room (as in suites), however these are not additive (See ASHRAE Interpretation IC 62-1989-28 dated 4/26/98). The standard outdoor air intake of the bedroom and/or living room units will normally meet code requirements for these areas. H. Select ventilation (make-up) air units to offset any continuous bathroom exhaust air quantity plus any other exhaust air from the corridors, plus air flow for pressurization (humid climates). Individual intermittently operated guest toilet exhaust fans are preferred, since diversity may be considered, reducing the make-up-air for baths to 75% of the design air exhaust rate. NOTE: If local codes require exhaust air flow rates in excess of above, the local codes shall govern. If prevailing winds consistently affect building pressurization, their affect must be taken into account in determining building air balance calculations and the makeup air quantity required for pressurization. I.
Select make-up air entering air temperature (EAT) for cooling based on ASHRAE 0.4% summer design Dehumidification [dew point/mean coincident dry bulb (DP/MCDB)] and Humidity Ratio (HR), and for heating based on ASHRAE Annual Extreme Daily Mean Dry Bulb (MDB) Minimum winter design temperature (not Heating DB @ 99.6% or 99%). In order to remove adequate moisture from the outdoor air, the cooling coil needs to produce 55° FDB (12.8ºCDB) leaving air temperature, and reheat to approximately 68° FDB if for corridor make-up or 70° FDB (21º CDB) if directly into guestroom.
J.
Central station or penthouse air handling units are to include the following: 1. Preheat, cooling, and reheat sections. Integral face-and-by-pass preheat coils are recommended for hydronic heating projects in cold climates. 2. Double-wall insulated construction 3. Stainless steel drain pans 4. Access module between coils to allow for maintenance and placement of control elements 5. Two-stage filtration with MERV 7 pre-filters and at least MERV 12 final filters.
K. Direct-expansion (DX) Makeup Air Units: Select factory assembled and tested packaged rooftop units designed for 100% outside air application. Split-systems shall not be utilized. Makeup air units are normally selected with cooling capacities at 160

Freeze protection compressor lockout timers are not an acceptable substitution. 5. Include hot gas reclaim (reheat) circuit for humidity control (provides free reheat to keep cooling circuit in operation without over cooling space. Using gas or electric reheat for this purpose is not acceptable). Note: Humidity control may not be necessary at locations with low design wet bulb/humidity ratio (approx. 80 grains/lb. [11.4 g/kg] or less) such as the desert arid design or at high altitudes. However, provide this capability in those areas with annual rainy seasons. Systems utilizing sub-cooler reheat circuits are not recommended. Control hot gas reclaim using a modulating refrigerant valve control loop. On/off or step control algorithms are not acceptable. 6. Provide gas-fired heating with stainless steel heat exchanger, complete with 25 year non-prorated parts warranty (standard aluminized steel is not acceptable, will not hold up under low ambient OSA conditions and will fail prematurely). 7. Provide minimum 4-stage or modulating (minimum 3:1 turndown) control for heating. 8. Provide electric heating systems with minimum 4-stage control, maximum 10 kW per stage, or SCR modulating controls. 9. Stainless steel insulated drain pan 10.

3c-4.04
Kiosks are shipped to the hotel fully assembled requiring no additional site assembly. The kiosk includes a modified oval shaped base plate of 1/2" steel. The kiosk base plate has sufficient mass to meet the stability and tip requirements so that the kiosk does not need to be bolted or affixed to the floor. The base plate extends the same distance forward as the purse shelf to allow cane detection by the blind. Purse shelf is located approximately 33.5" (85cm) above finished floor.

3c-7.02
Kiosk can only be installed at Ethernet locations. LAN connectivity is established by a Cisco AIRPCI350 Wireless LAN Adapter (802.11b) installed in the Stealth PC. Wireless Signal Strength must be no lower then 5.5, which is 50 percent signal strength. For this to occur, the property must use a wireless access point(s) (WAP) that only goes to the private side / HHC network and a firewall. This allows the property to change the location of the kiosk at any time.
3c-7.03
In rare cases, LAN connectivity can also be established with an Ethernet cable that extends 5'-6" (1.7m) from the back of the power supply enclosure on the base of the kiosk and connects to the Ethernet port on the kiosk PC. However, this limits movement of the kiosk and possibly forces the hotel to install an Ethernet cable from the kiosk location to the HHC Switch.
3c-7.04
Kiosk has a cover plate over the lower power supply enclosure with two (2) notches allowing power and network cables to be routed into the rear of the enclosure. If the rear entry slots are not used, a cover plate must be installed over them.
