GSA ORDER
SUBJECT: GSA Smart Buildings
1. Purpose.
The purpose of this Order is to uphold consistency in the application, evaluation and implementation of smart buildings (SB) system technology, consistent with the following SB program’s strategic goals:
a. Modernize facility management operations and maintenance to generate cost savings and best value for the taxpayers;
b. Support energy conservation and limit environmental impact;
c. Use technology to quantify and manage drivers of building occupant comfort to improve building occupant satisfaction;
d. Empower U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) staff and contract employees with data to make informed facility management decisions;
e. Promote interoperability between devices through open protocol systems with the objective of converging normalized data on, at least, a facility-wide tool;
f. Implement and maintain cybersecurity best practices within GSA national, regional and local offices for consistency within GSA Internet Protocol (IP) network based systems, including downstream devices; and
g. Protect against threats to the U.S. Government through the inclusion of cyber supply chain risk management (C-SCRM) principles.
Consistency achieved through this Order will enable opportunities in resource sharing, propagating best practices and advancing appropriate guides for project delivery of innovative new systems.
2. Background.
Starting around 2005, GSA’s SB program focused on advanced metering and fault detection and diagnostics (FDD) technology, with an emphasis specifically on GSA’s FDD application, GSALink. Advancements in operational technology and broader implementation of computer-based building control systems has propagated opportunities in SB technologies. A group of SB specialists within the GSA SB community identified the need for a directive to support consistency within the program and to achieve alignment on the implementation approach as technology offerings continue to be adopted within the Public Buildings Service (PBS) portfolio. This Order is needed to incorporate consistency across the inventory of federally owned buildings under GSA’s jurisdiction, custody and control for effective long-term support and adherence to enhanced security requirements. This Order assists in the modernization and unification of GSA’s building control systems portfolio, and applies not only to GSALink facilities, but also to other facilities with new emerging IP-based technology, building automation systems (BAS), device-based control systems, or any combination of the foregoing.
3. Definitions.
a. GSA Smart Buildings. Convergence of a building’s management, monitoring or control systems, or any combination of the foregoing, on common GSA-supported network infrastructure to enable access to real-time controls systems performance data (i.e., data points) towards the goal of interoperability for enhanced operations, cost savings and optimal building environments to increase building occupant comfort.
b. Building Monitoring and Control System. Building monitoring and control (BMC) systems are designed to operate building equipment or obtain data from the building equipment or environment, or both. BMC systems include their controllers, devices and sensors.
(1) Examples include, but are not limited to, systems for FDD or GSA’s analytical application - GSALink; utility or advanced metering; heating, ventilation and air conditioning; on-site renewable energy generation; BAS and building management systems; smart sensors; occupancy sensors; single pane of glass; smart energy systems, including photovoltaic systems, smart grid technology or grid interactive technology, or both; digital signage; irrigation control; machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence on building control systems, lighting controls or network/connected electric vehicle charging stations, or any combination of the foregoing.
(2) The following systems will typically be excluded or otherwise will have limited integration/interconnections with BMC systems: fire alarms, smoke control and life-safety systems; physical access control systems; security cameras; and elevator systems.
c. Operational Technology. Operational technology (OT) are programmable systems or devices that interact with the physical environment (or manage devices that interact with the physical environment). These systems or devices detect or cause a direct change through the monitoring or control, or both, of devices, processes and events. Examples include industrial control systems, building management systems, fire control systems, and physical access control mechanisms, as applicable.
(Source(s): NIST SP 800-37 Rev. 2)

c. Signoff Process.
(1) GSA employees, contractors and representatives must work with regional SB contacts or their designees to initiate projects and confirm official signoff has been obtained through key project milestones.
(a) Coordination should be initiated through the regional SB contacts or their designees to align stakeholders.
(b) Stakeholders will include the regional facility management SB specialists, PBS SB IBIEs and GSA-IT regional BTSD technical PMs.
(2) In accordance with the Federal Information Security and Management Act, GSA IT must be engaged before the acquisition package is submitted for all procurements that include information technology (IT) components (e.g., IP-enabled devices, network connectivity, cloud components, and wireless).
d. GSA SB Advisory Board. The intent of this Order is not to stifle innovation within GSA, but rather to align experts within GSA for initiatives to be successful. As such, this Order will establish a new GSA SB Advisory Board (Advisory Board), composed of GSA national and regional representatives, for evaluation of new or innovative solutions in SB technology. Initiatives or solutions should be presented and approved by the Advisory Board prior to acquisition of products or services. The objective of this Advisory Board is to promote compliance with pertinent policies and guides. The Advisory Board will also identify gaps that prohibit successful and efficient implementation of SB technologies. The main goal of this board is to support consistency in broad deployment of technology across the GSA portfolio. This is in contrast to the more narrow deployment of experimental technology through the Green Proving Ground (GPG) Program. Technologies for GPG will be evaluated independently through the defined Authority to Operate (ATO) process, and once proven for broad deployment, then they can be considered for further adoption with the SB Advisory Board.
