The deficiency analysis presented in Section 3.0 of this volume, includes additional details on these deficiencies.

Background

The main campus of Excelsior Springs Job Corps Center (Excelsior Springs JCC) is located on 26 acres of land in Excelsior Springs, Missouri. The campus is comprised of 21 buildings and 13 structures. A Satellite Center which has a two-story Education/Vocational Building 45 and a one-story storage facility Structure 46 is located in Kansas City, Missouri. The Satellite Center is referred to as the Swope Satellite Campus because the building postal address is Swope Parkway.

The Satellite Campus is located approximately thirty-three miles southwest of the Main Campus.

The main Center was activated as a Job Corps in 1966 and the Swope Satellite Campus in 1990.

At present, Excelsior Springs Job Corps Center has 217,737 gross square feet (GSF) in 21 buildings and 6,354 GSF in 13 structures. The Center provides residential living, academic education, recreation, and vocational training for a population of 387 students, consisting of 165 resident men, 96 resident women, and 126 non-resident students. The total building area at the Center is 148,976 net square feet (NSF) as compared to the United States Department of Labor (DOL) suggested space guideline range of 103,834 NSF to 114,588 NSF for a Center with a similar student population. Due to the reduction in the student population, the current NSF is above the DOL space guideline range.

Ownership

Excelsior Springs Job Corps Center is operated on property that is owned and leased by the United States Department of Labor (DOL). The main campus which is owned and the satellite property is leased.

The main campus is operated on property owned by the United States Department of Labor. On June 4, 1971, the United States General Services Administration transferred the former Veterans Administration Hospital located at 701 Saint Louis Avenue to the Department of Labor. On November 3, 1997, the United States Government received a 0.60 acre parcel of adjacent land via donation from the Veterans of Foreign Wars. The Department of Labor is responsible for the repair and maintenance at its federally owned campus. The Center currently has 21 buildings and 13 structures located on approximately 224,091 gross square feet of building space.

The Swope Satellite Campus consist of is operated on property leased by the United States Department of Labor from the Catholic Diocese of Kansas City – Saint Joseph. The lease originally commenced on June 1, 1990, for the 18,360 GSF Education/Vocational Building 45, and if all options are exercised, the lease will expire on May 31, 2020. United States Government (the Government) currently pays an annual rent of $55,071.00 for this lease. The property consists of

0.5 acre parcel. Any buildings or structures built by the Government during the term of the lease are owned by the Government and are subject to removal by the Government upon expiration of the lease. The Storage Structure 46 was built in 1994 by DOL and is not part of the lease agreement. The Lessor is responsible for the proper maintenance and repair of the premises, except in case of damage arising from the act or the negligence of the Government’s agents or employees.

General Site Conditions

The Center is located in the Central Standard Time (CST) Zone at 39°20’ north latitude and 94°13’ west longitude. The Center has an average elevation of 890 feet above sea level. January temperatures in Excelsior Springs, Missouri range from an average low of 13 degrees Fahrenheit to an average high of 39 degrees Fahrenheit. July temperatures range from an average low of 68 degrees Fahrenheit to an average high of 88 degrees Fahrenheit. Excelsior Springs has a humid continental climate with an average annual precipitation of 38.8 inches of rain and 18.4 inches of snow. The main campus is located in a residential area approximately 30 miles north-east of Kansas City, Missouri. The campus is organized around an open green area with the buildings oriented along a north-south longitudinal axis. The Swope

Satellite Campus is located in a light commercial area approximately six miles south of downtown Kansas City, Missouri, and approximately 35 miles from the main campus.

The main campus is bounded by Saint Louis Avenue to the north-west, wooded land to the south and east, and single family residences to the west. The main entry is from Saint Louis Avenue from the north-west and a secondary entry at Walnut Street adjacent to the Medical Office Support/TCU Building 50. This entry is secured by a 10-foot high chain link fence and locked gate. A loop road branches out with secondary access ways serving all campus buildings which are also linked by concrete-paved pedestrian walkways. The roads and the parking areas are covered with asphalt. The roadways and parking areas are generally in fair condition and sidewalks are in generally good condition. The site slopes gradually from north to south and from west to east along the west perimeter of the campus. Stormwater runoff flows by gravity into the wooded area at the east or is captured by area drains into the underground stormwater management system.

The stone retaining wall along Saint Louis Avenue, east of the at the main campus entrance, is not stable and has fallen on the sidewalk in several areas. The City of Excelsior Springs issued a citation to the Center stating that fallen stones on the sidewalk and the continuing deterioration of the retaining wall have produced a trip hazard to the public. The Center has shored and stabilized the retaining wall and is presently seeking a contractor to rebuild the wall.

Satellite Image of Excelsior Springs JCC Main Campus

There is soil erosion along a small section of the hill behind the north end of Gonzalez Hall Building 51 and south end of Eleanor Roosevelt Hall Building 14. There is not enough grass to prevent the erosion.

A centrally-located open green area and a ball field at the south side of the campus provide a nice setting for outdoor activities. Although there is no clear separation between the night and day activities, the campus layout has a nice flow and works well. There are two dormitories, and two educational buildings are located at the west side of the campus axis. The Welcome Center, Administration, and Gymnasium buildings are located at the north end of the campus. The Cafeteria and a third dormitory building, the vocational buildings, and the wellness center are spread along the east side of the campus axis.

The Swope Satellite Campus is bounded by Swope Parkway to the east, a church to the north, Brush Creek to the west, and a Public Park to the south. The main entry is on Swope Parkway and there is street parking in front of the main building, including off-street parking. The Campus is enclosed by an 8-foot high chain link fence with a secondary entry off the parking area to the rear of the site. The Campus is composed of Education/Vocational Building 45 and Storage Building

46. The sidewalks are public and general in good condition. The entire site is paved with asphalt.

The asphalt paving is generally in fair condition. The site slopes gently from west to east and stormwater run-off flows by gravity into the green area at the west of the site into the underground stormwater management system.

Domestic water for the main campus is supplied from the City of Excelsior Springs through a master meter to an on-site, 60-year old elevated 150,000-gallon potable storage tank, Structure WT-1, located at the south-west corner of the site. The condition of the elevated water storage tank was studied by Pittsburg Tank and Tower Maintenance Company and found to be in need of repairs and rehabilitation. The tower lacks safety railings and stairs, has several leaks, and its structure is beginning to rust. During the July 2015 facility survey the Center stated the water tower bowl was cleaned to remove all sediment deposits. In case of an emergency, a shut off valve allows the center to by-pass the tower water supply and tap into the municipal water distribution system. The water distribution system is in good condition. Wastewater (sanitary) collection is through the Center sewer system which leads to the City of Excelsior Springs municipal treatment plant. Natural gas is supplied by Missouri Gas Energy. The Center is supported by the Excelsior Springs Fire Department station which is approximately three miles from the Center and has a response time of approximately six minutes. At the time of the July 2015 facility survey, all utilities were adequate, except the elevated water tank with conditions described above.

Domestic water for the Swope Satellite Campus is supplied from the City of Kansas City, Missouri. Wastewater (sanitary) collection is through the Kansas City sewer system which leads through the municipal treatment plant. Natural gas is supplied by Missouri Gas Energy (MGE).

The satellite campus is supported by the Kansas City municipal fire department station of City of Kansas, Missouri which is approximately 6 miles from the campus and has a response time of approximately 3 minutes.

Electrical service for the main campus is provided by American Union Company via either pole mounted or pad mounted utility transformers. Majority of the secondary feeders from the utility transformers are routed via concrete-encased duct banks. Local telephone service is through

American Telephone and Telegraph (AT&T). Site lighting is achieved via pole-mounted metal halide fixtures and building mounted high-pressure sodium (HPS) and high-intensity discharge (HID) lighting fixtures. Site lighting requires periodic maintenance to ensure its functionality. At the time of the July 2015 Survey, several burned-out lamps needed to be replaced. Electric service for the satellite campus is provided by Kansas City Power and Light (KCPL).

General Building Conditions

The original building on the main campus, Main Building 5, was built in 1896 as a residence for Colonel Morse. In 1921, Main Building 5 (demolished in 2010) was leased to the United States Public Health Services and adapted to house a Veterans Administration Hospital. In the following years, the Hospital added a third story and a new wing and in the 1930s several more buildings were constructed. Currently, the main campus at Excelsior Springs has 19 buildings. Only four buildings survived from the original Veterans Administration Hospital. Three of those buildings were built in 1930, and one was built in 1937. A study performed in 2012 found two of the remaining original buildings (Social Hall/Career Development Building 13 and Eleanor Roosevelt Hall Building 14) to be eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP).

The remaining buildings on campus were constructed between 1980 and 2011 and have no historic significance. The Swope Satellite Campus, located in Kansas City, has two buildings.

The Swope Satellite buildings are the Education/Vocational Building 45 and Storage Structure 46.

The Education/Vocational Building 45, constructed in 1950, is the oldest and is a leased property.

The main campus architectural style is eclectic. The buildings vary in style from neo-classical revival to post-modern and utilitarian. Most have load bearing masonry walls and hip roofs with asphalt shingles. A few of the buildings are wood or metal-framed and have flat roofs covered with rolled asphalt or pitched roofs covered with standing seam metal panels. The facades are finished with brick veneer, stucco, exterior insulation finish system (EIFS), metal, or wood siding.

Social Hall/Career Development Buildings 13 and Eleanor Roosevelt Hall Building 14 have a wide array of deficiencies ranging from life safety to structural issues and deteriorated roofs, deteriorated and non-insulated windows, friable asbestos, and mold contamination inside the building and failing façade stucco finish at the exterior walls. The age of these buildings notwithstanding, their general condition is fair. The heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) controls in the Gymnasium Building 55 and Cafeteria Building 56 are obsolete and no longer function efficiently. Also, the HVAC equipment is not functioning properly and replacement parts are no longer available in Education Building 2, Vocational Trades Building 6, Social Hall/Career Development Building 13 and Career Preparation Center Building 32. At the time of the July 2015 facility survey of the Center, an architectural study was underway to determine the Scope of Work required for abatement of environmental hazardous materials, exterior envelope repairs, interior renovations and window replacement at Administration Building 12, Social Hall/Career Development Buildings 13, and Eleanor Roosevelt Hall Building

14. The study is expected to be completed by June 15, 2016.

Roofing Issues

Roofs of Administration Buildings 12, Lincoln Hall (Navy Reserve Officer Training Corps, ROTC) Building 28, and Truth Hall Building 36 are in poor condition. The roofing material on Building 12 are asphalt shingles, modified bitumen and ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM). Building 28 is built-up roofing and Building 36 is asphalt shingles and rolled asphalt.

The copper gutters, wood eaves and fascias on Social Hall/Career Development Buildings 13 and Eleanor Roosevelt Hall 14 are severely deteriorated. The flat portions of the roof in Building 13 leak and have reached the end of their useful life.

Preventive Maintenance

The Center currently uses the SchoolDude Computerized Maintenance Management System. The grounds, facilities, and equipment at the Center are well maintained and generally in good condition. However, the lack of a mechanical lift to assist the maintenance staff in performing Preventive Maintenance (PM) and repairs is a burden. Specifically, this applies to servicing site lighting mounted high on poles and buildings, and cleaning gutters and downspouts on two story buildings with pitched roofs. Performing PM for these conditions can present unsafe situations when using a ladder. Therefore, PM is not performed routinely, which can exacerbate problems.

Students and some trades instructors assist with maintenance when needed.

Facility Assessment by Function

Student Housing

The Center accommodates 165 resident men and 96 resident women in three dormitories, namely, Eleanor Roosevelt Hall Building 14, Truth Hall Building 36, and Gonzalez Hall Building 51. Eleanor Roosevelt Hall Building 14 (Co-educational Dormitory), constructed in 1930, is a three-story, rectangular-shaped loadbearing masonry building with a double-loaded corridor on each floor. Covered, two-story porches are located at the north and south ends of the building. Emergency exits from the third floor discharge onto the roof of these porches.

At the time of the July 2015 facility survey reconstruction of the roof and structural system was underway to replace the combustible materials and some of the rotted roof components. The new roof is constructed of fire-rated composite deck with structural metal post columns and metal guard railing that run along the path of egress. The exterior stucco finish, roof dormers and decorative wood eaves and trim are deteriorated. The original single glazed, double hung, wood

Gonzalez Hall Building 51 frame windows are in poor condition. Some of the original windows have been replaced with aluminum framed, double-gazed, double-hung windows. These windows have simulated lights and although the intent was to replicate the historic windows, they have a different pattern and color.

The second and third floors were under renovation via a Career Technical Skills Training (CTST) project and not occupied during the July 2015 Survey. Several of the sleeping rooms on the third floor will not be occupied with renovation complete because of mold. Water is entering the building along the gutter/roof eave providing the condition for mold to grow. The Engineering Support Contractor (ESC) Project Manager (PM) conducted an investigation of the area, while hoisted in a mechanical lift. The water infiltration appeared to be caused from clogged gutters allowing water to stand, along with wet debris to deteriorate the wood eaves.

The exterior metal stair towers built in 1995 provide exit access from the upper levels, over the porch roofs, to the ground. A small area on the first floor of the south porch is used to house the large main electrical distribution panel. The walls are constructed of plywood with a metal frame door assembly. The construction material does not protect the panel from the weather nor has the required fire rating. Furthermore, this addition is unsightly and it adversely affects the historical fabric of the building. The sleeping rooms vary in size and can accommodate two or four beds.

Each floor has a large, shared bathroom and the two student bedrooms have an adjoining restroom. Each floor has a Residential advisor (RA) office and only the second and third floors have lounges. The large common lounge on the first floor was converted into the Student Government/Leadership Coordinator’s office. The counseling office, laundry room and student storage and mechanical room are also located on the first floor.

This building has multiple deficiencies which, if not corrected would cause further deterioration and costly repairs. The second and third floor windows have broken seals, deteriorated frames, and are not insulated. The original dormers windows and the copper roof gutters leak. As a result, water infiltrated several third floor bedrooms causing mold to develop on the walls resulting in the rooms not being occupied.

Truth Hall Building 36 (female dormitory) is a two-story, split-level load-bearing masonry building. The first floor contains a computer room and a large multi-purpose room with an adjacent student government office and two unisex restrooms. An accessibility ramp provides access from the lower lobby to the first floor including an open stair providing access to the first and second floors. The sleeping rooms on both floors are arranged around a loop corridor. Both

Truth Hall Building 36 floors have a central core with two lounges, a laundry room, a Residential Advisor office (first floor), mechanical room (second floor) and two lounge areas located diagonally from each other at the north and south corners of the building on both floors. One room on the first floor is used as a student storage room. Therefore, the first floor has only 12 sleeping rooms and the second floor has 13. The four two-person rooms on the first floor, designed to accommodate Architectural Barriers Act (ABA) accessibility, sleep four persons. All other rooms, including those on the second floor have four beds. All sleeping rooms have dedicated bathrooms. The building accommodates 48 students on the first floor, and 52 students on the second floor. The rolled asphalt roof is deteriorated and in poor condition. This is partly attributed to the lack of maintenance. During the survey, the scuppers were found filled with debris and water ponding on the roof surface, unable to drain, left the membrane brittle and susceptible to blisters.

Gonzales Hall Building 51 is the newest dormitory building on Campus and has a capacity of 168 students. Built in 1998, the two-story brick veneer and EIFS-clad metal structure has a V-shaped configuration. The building is accessed from a covered porch at the north-east side which leads to the two-story building commons. From there, an open stair provides access to the second floor.

The floors have similar layouts. A central core separates the two wings and contains two offices, a large study room, laundry room and storage. The first floor contains the vending machine area, and electrical and mechanical rooms. Each wing has 10 four-person rooms, one two-person room (designated as an ABA room on the first floor only,) and four very generously-sized lounges, with two on each floor. These facilities are generally in good condition, well maintained, and function well.

Education

Educational functions are present in several buildings at the main campus and one at the Swope Satellite Campus. At the main campus all academic functions are contained in Education Building 2 and Education Building 45-Swope Satellite Campus. Except for the heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) issues, Building 2 is in generally good condition. Building 45 is a leased facility in Kansas City, Missouri. Non-academic functions are spread among seven buildings. The basement of Social Hall/ Career Development Building 13 houses the career development offices, a career readiness classroom, computer room, and three storage rooms. The two storage rooms at the north side are without heating and have mold infestation. The assembly hall, located on the first floor, is without restrooms to accommodate a large gathering. The exterior façade is deteriorated, the windows are original to the building and not energy efficient and the flat roof needs to be replaced. The building is generally in fair condition and minus not having restrooms to accommodate the assembly hall the building meets the Center’s programmatic needs. The north

Education Building 2 - Main Campus balcony wood columns supporting the roof above are deteriorated. The center keeps the north balcony exit door locked, which violates the life safety requirements to provide two means of egress from an assembly space. Both these conditions present a life safety hazard and need to be addressed. Career preparation is located in the Career Preparation Center Building 32. This building has four large spaces used for TABE testing, orientation, and career exploration. The fourth room, learning resource center, was under renovation during the July 2015 facility survey.

The building functions well and is in good condition.

Education/Vocational Building 45, located at the Swope Satellite Campus, is a three-story load-bearing masonry building constructed in 1990 with a wood framed hip roof and brick exterior finish. The building is self-contained, housing academic, non-academic, certified nursing assistant vocation, administration, food service, and campus security. This building interior finishes are original but in good condition. The floor plan is not functionally efficient, and not ABA compliant. The exterior brick veneer has minor cracks, and in some areas have delaminated, due to deteriorated mortar joints.

This condition was noted at the building corners. Some of the cracked bricks have been repaired with masonry grade epoxy filler.

However, some areas are still in need of repairs.

Lincoln Hall (ROTC) Building 28 is a two-story rectangular-shaped building constructed in 1937.

The construction is load-bearing masonry with a steel-framed flat roof, and built-up roofing that was covered with spray polyurethane foam (SPF) roofing due to the poor condition of the built-up roof. There is a shed roof with asphalt shingles on the storage addition at the back of the building.

The exterior finishes are stucco, clay tile, and wood siding. The first floor has two large classrooms, an instructor’s office, a small restroom, washer/dryer, and a small storage room. The basement is storage some of which is for the Navy Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) Program. There is a small addition located on the rear of the building which is used to store some of the carpentry vocation materials. This addition has a separate entrance. A concrete ramp was constructed to the building to accommodate the physically challenged. The ramp is not in compliance with ABA accessibility guidelines. The roof membrane of this building is severely deteriorated. The building functions well for its use.

Vocational classrooms, shops, storage, and offices are located in seven buildings, six on the main campus, and one on the Swope Satellite Campus, Education/Vocational Building 45. Vocational Building Trades Building 6 is a split-level building with offices, a conference room, a computer laboratory and restrooms on the upper level and five hard vocational shops with their associated classrooms on the lower level.

Recreation

Indoor recreation functions are located in Gymnasium Building 55. The steel-framed load bearing masonry building was constructed in 2003 and accommodates a basketball court, a weight room, men and women’s locker and restrooms on the first floor and a game room, multi-purpose room, computer room, television room, computer room, arts and crafts, a canteen and restrooms on the second floor. The gymnasium has a gable roof and the upper section of the gable walls, at the north and south ends of the gymnasium are glazed. Moveable bleachers are located at the east side of the room. The gymnasium roof does not have gutters at the west side. Stormwater drains directly to the ground, causing soil erosion. Other than that, Gymnasium Building 55 is in good condition, adequate in size, and functions well.

A large assembly room is located on the second floor of the Social Hall/Career Development Building 13. The stage wood flooring is damaged in several areas. There is no water service on this floor and there are no public restrooms. The windows are inoperable and single-glazed. Also, there is a lack of storage space for this area. The vacant room on the east side of the Assembly Hall, and vacant mezzanine rooms can be renovated for storage space. This would make for a Career Technical Skills Training project.

Outdoor recreation facilities consist of an athletic field, basketball court, campus green areas and four pavilion structures. All recreational entities are adequate, in good condition, and function well.

Administration Majority of the administrative functions for the main campus are located in Administration Building 12. Building 12 is a two-story load-bearing masonry rectangular shaped building constructed in 1930. The exterior finishes are stucco and clay tile. Over the years, this building underwent several renovations and no longer retains historic significance as part of the former Veterans Administration Hospital complex. The first floor contains the administrative offices, a conference room, a break room, the mail room, the finance office suite, and the admissions office. The lower level is mostly occupied

Gymnasium Building 55

Administration Building 12 by the records and personnel offices. In 2010, prior to demolition of Building 5, Administration Building 12 received a new heating, ventilation and air-conditioning system to replace the steam source heating system provided by the boilers located in Building 5. The window air conditioning units were replaced by a central air-conditioning system. However, some window units still remain in the building and will need to be replaced and the windows restored.

This building windows are single-glazed energy inefficient windows, the roof is in poor condition, and the masonry parapet walls are deteriorated. The exterior stucco finish has fared better that other buildings with the same finish.

Medical/Dental Medical and dental functions are only provided on the main campus and are located in Wellness Center Building 48.

The building is a cross-shaped one-story wood-framed building, with a partial basement under the south section of the building. The building was constructed in 1997 and was renovated in 2010 by Career Technical Skills Training to house medical and dental functions. The building has four separate sections: (1) a dental suite with two dental stations, office, a sterilization room, unisex rest room, and waiting area; (2) a medical suite with an examination room, doctor’s office, TEAP room, a treatment room, a multi-purpose, and a laboratory; (3) a male and female ward, both with dedicated restrooms, storage rooms, and counselors office; and

(4) a shared suite with a nurse station, a laboratory, the manager’s office, staff lounge with unisex toilet/shower room, general staff toilets, and a mechanical room. Since the Program Year 2012 facility survey, some spaces within the building have been re-purposed for other center functions, causing the facility to fall short of meeting one of the essential program requirements (wellness).

The designated isolation room was repurposed to a staff lounge. The break room, located in the medical suite, was repurposed into a laboratory. To meet the program requirements, as outlined in the DOL Job Corps Handbook 814 (JCH 814), Planning, Design and Construction Administration Guidelines, the mentioned rooms shall be returned to their original designated design purposes.

Other than program issues, this building is maintained well, in good condition, adequate in size, and functions well.

Storage/Support

Most of the Center’s maintenance functions are located in Transportation/Receiving Building 52.

The two-story wood-framed rectangular building, constructed in 2001, has composite siding and concrete exterior finishes, and a gable roof with asphalt shingle roofing. There is a loading dock on the upper level with access to a large receiving area. Three offices, restrooms, and four chain

Wellness Center Building 48 link fenced storage rooms are also located on this level. An interior stair provides access to the lower level which contains general storage, uniform storage, fitting rooms, computer equipment storage and an office.

A Career Technical Skills Training building addition was constructed at the north side of Lincoln Hall Building 28, at the basement level and is used for vocational scaffolding storage. The storage and support spaces are adequate and in generally good condition.

Environmental Management

Excelsior Springs Job Corps Center (Excelsior Springs JCC) has asbestos-containing materials in Education Buildings 2, Administration Building 12, Social Hall/Career Development Building 13, Eleanor Roosevelt Hall Building 14, and Lincoln Hall (NAVY Reserve Officer Training Corps) Building 28. These asbestos materials must be kept in good condition by the Center. The O&M program must include a trained asbestos coordinator, observation, and recordkeeping of the asbestos-containing materials update every six months, and annual notification of staff and students.

The elevated water tank requires some repairs and preventive maintenance including repair of the leaks at the junction of the riser pipe and the bowl, installation of safety compliant handrails and stairs, painting the exterior of the tank and structure, and providing items that assure safety, especially those related to Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requirements.

The Engineering Support Contractor (ESC) Project Manager (PM) for the Center reported cleaning of the buildup of sediment and debris in the tank was performed in 2015.

Resource Use/Conservation

Energy and Water Conservation

Energy and water use and associated trends are summarized below for Excelsior Springs Job Corps Center.

Background: Table 1, Energy and Water Statistics – FY 2015, has current energy and water usage and cost. Utility costs are lower than the Job Corps averages for water and electricity.

Table 1: Energy and Water Statistics – FY 2015 Energy Usage Cost Unit Cost Average Cost in Job Corps Electricity 2,750,613 kWh $218,539 $0.079/kWh $0.10/kWh Natural Gas 88,580 CCF $72,005 $0.81/CCF $0.84/CCF Water 7,839,000 gal. $38,028 $4.8/kgal. $6.5/kgal.

Total $328,571 This analysis is based on the latest energy information available. Financial Year 2015 (FY 2015) energy data are the latest entire year available for analysis.

Energy Data Issues: Excelsior Springs Job Corps Center has posted high quality data since 2003.

Benchmarking: Table 2, Energy and Water Benchmarking, is based on Presidential Executive Order 13423 (EO13423) goals of 3% annual energy reduction and 2% annual water reduction.

The baseline year for energy is Financial Year 2003 (FY 2003). The baseline year for water usage is 2007. Presidential Executive Order 13693 (EO13693) goals will start in 2016 with an energy usage baseline of FY 2015 and a goal of 2.5% reduction.

Table 2: Energy and Water Benchmarking Category Year Current Usage Baseline Usage FY 2015

Water 2015 36.0 gal/GSF 26.3 gal/GSF 22.1 gal/GSF 63% Green – meeting target. Red – not meeting target.

The Center’s energy and water use reflecting they are not meeting water or energy use reduction goals for the following. The Center reported their water usage in gal/GSF. This increase is partially attributed to the fact that Center’s total GSF went down when Building 5 was demolished and the baseline references the larger original area. The Center is doing about the same on gallons used.

Figure 1, Energy Intensity Compared to FY 2003 Baseline and Annual Targets, documents the annual energy intensity in BTU/GSF compared to the baseline from 2013 to 2015. Figure 2, Water Intensity versus Target for the Excelsior Springs JCC, shows the annual water intensity in gal/GSF compared to the FY2003 baseline. The large increase in water intensity in 2011 was due to a large decrease in the square footage of the Center.
