Section 51 of 105
49. Reserved Capacity and Future Expansion
Stable section ID: S05-CON-014-SECTION-51 · 17 content blocks
System05 assets and buildings shall provide reserved capacity for reasonably foreseeable future expansion where the lifecycle value justifies the reservation.
Reserved capacity may include:
- Structural load capacity.
- Node ports and Cartridge positions.
- Utility pathways.
- Electrical capacity.
- Water or airflow capacity.
- Data addressing and communication bandwidth.
- Physical installation volume.
- Tool and robotic access.
- Additional sensor pathways.
- Software and schema extension points.
- Fire, thermal, and environmental allowances.
Reserved capacity shall be quantified rather than described only as “future-ready.” Its location, type, limit, owner, intended use, and conditions of activation shall be recorded.
Unused ports and pathways shall remain safely protected against moisture, fire, contamination, accidental connection, damage, and unauthorized use.
Future expansion shall not be assumed safe merely because capacity was reserved. Every new use shall undergo compatibility, load, configuration, and conformance assessment.
Reservation shall not impose disproportionate initial cost, material use, or complexity without a credible lifecycle benefit.
