A. OVERVIEW

Comply with Air Force Corporate Standards for Overview:

http://afcfs.wbdg.org/index.html

This Installation Facilities Standards (IFS) document is part of the Air Force Corporate Facilities Standards

(AFCFS) program to assist bases in implementing and maintaining facilities standards as appropriate for efficient operations within the respective climate region. IFS fully replaces, consolidates and simplifies existing facilities standards documents, such as the Architectural Compatibility Plan (ACP) or ACGs, FEPs, etc., and organizes information using the same structure, or Table of Contents, as the AFCFS website.

IFS reflects the AFCFS’ concepts of "Facility Hierarchy" (categorizing facilities into group numbers) and

“Facility Quality” (assigning an appropriate level of quality to each group number) and applies these principles at the base level. Applicable DoD and Air Force criteria such as UFCs, AFIs, Memoranda, and UFGSs (Guide

Specs) are referenced and linked within IFS to ensure the document is always current.

Navigating within this IFS is efficient and straightforward. Please use the interactive Table of Contents to locate subject matter, and click on the title of a section to access it. From any page, click on the “Back to Table of

Contents” footer to return. Content is organized into 4 major sections: Installation Elements, Site Development, Facilities Exteriors and Facilities Interiors.

This IFS document begins as a fill-in PDF form, which is fully editable, and becomes a "living document" that can be regularly updated by base-level personnel following a format that is consistent across the Air Force. While the format is standardized, IFS content is customized for base operations and the local climate to ensure mission success while emphasizing reduced maintenance and reduced initial costs, life-cycle costs, energy use, and water use.

1. Conformance to Air Force Corporate Facilities Standards (AFCFS) and Installation Facilities Standards (IFS) are required by Air Force Instruction (AFI) 32-1023 and Air Force Memorandum. Please refer to the AFCFS website for links to documentation on current policy.

2. Requests to deviate from any installation facilities standards, that are Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) requirements, will follow the process outlined in the AFCFS for UFC waivers and exemptions.

3. The IFS is a component plan of the Installation Development Plan (IDP) per Air Force Instruction (AFI) 32-

7062 (replacing the Architectural Compatibility Plan). All military construction projects and Non-

Appropriated Funds (NAF) facilities are required to comply with the IDP and its IFS component plan by AFI

32-1023. The Base Civil Engineer (BCE) maintains and implements the IDP and its component plans, to include the IFS.

4. Please refer to the AFCFS website as a portal to reference materials and requirements documents for design and construction projects (via links). Specific references to current DoD memoranda and Air Force criteria are updated periodically to provide the most current guidance and requirements. Programming, design and contract documents should list “current edition” for all reference and requirements documents. The documents in force at the date of execution of the design and/or construction contract shall be the governing version.

5. Advanced Modeling Requirements:

For all Air Force projects requiring advanced modeling, to include 3D visualization, Building Information Modeling (BIM), facility data, quantity take-off, geospatial, etc., follow the Army standards. Refer to USACE Minimum Model Matrix (M3) and Project Execution Plan (PxP) which outline required model uses. Refer to CAD

BIM Technology Center (Contract Requirements) for more information on M3 and PxP.

6. J oint Bases shall implement IFS under their Joint-Base designation with volume numbers for individual installations following the IFS Development Tool template. For example, for J oint Base http://afcfs.wbdg.org/index.html

F-117 squadron WWII bombardier training Early Test Track launch

Holloman AFB, originally established as Alamogordo Army Air Field, began construction in 1942 as a temporary wartime base.

Primarily serving as a training base for bomber pilots and crews, Holloman AFB is most well-known during this period for the detonation, at the Trinity Site, of the first atomic bomb developed under the Manhattan Project. Renamed Holloman AFB in 1948 following a brief period of deactivation after WWII, Holloman AFB function was primarily research & development starting with pilotless-aircraft, guided missiles & allied equipment. Holloman continued its function of guided missiles and space research development until 1968. In the same year, the 49th Tactical Fighter Wing was assigned to the installation, as well as the Tactical

Air Command (TAC) assuming command of the base. In 1992, due to the deactivation of TAC, Holloman was transferred to Air

Combat Command (ACC), Holloman's current command. Born in 1941, the 49th Fighter Wing, reigning as Holloman's current host, was activated in 1991 due to the deactivation of the 833rd Air Division. Currently, Holloman is home to the T-38 Talon, MQ-9

Reaper, and German Air Force Tornado Fighter & soon to be deactivated F-22 Raptor. Transitioning from F-22 Raptor, Holloman is home to F-16 Fighting Falcons. Rom 1992 - 2019 there were 21 German Air Force (GAF) Tornadoes and 482 German military personnel assigned to Holloman AFB. The installation is also home to the 96th Test Group, the 635th Material Maintenance

Group , the 846th Test Squadron and many other units and organizations

B01.1.3. Future Development

1. Follow AFI 32-7062 for Air Force Comprehensive Planning, the Comprehensive Planning Process, Comprehensive

Planning Requirements, and Geospatial Mapping.

Appropriately buffer and screen these and other mechanical systems and equipment.

7. New building projects should preserve open space and protect natural habitat.

8. Conform to existing topography to the greatest extent possible and use slopes to increase site and building efficiencies.

Design sites to minimize irrigation and impacts to stormwater runoff.

9. Carefully study new project sites to identify the character of adjacent buildings, streets, landscaping, and site design elements. Reinforce the existing character in new site design.

10. Consider relationships to adjacent facilities and district / centralized heating and cooling infrastructure and cost effectively connect building systems to harvest heat, grey water or other beneficial byproducts.

11. Minimize existing and planned obstructions from landscaping, structures, topography, and adjacent developments to preserve solar access and natural ventilation.

12. Purposefully integrate service access, receiving and storage areas to eliminate the need for visual screening.

13. Appropriately connect to the base network of streets, sidewalks and trails using drive aisles, parking areas, walkways, paths, and bicycle routes addressing both vehicles and pedestrians.

14. Applicably coordinate heat island mitigation in paving and roof designs when implementing an integrated approach to stormwater management.
