1.13.2 Commitment to Sustainable Design:

It is Air Force policy to apply sustainable development concepts in the planning, design, construction, environmental management, operation, maintenance and disposal of facilities and infrastructure projects, consistent with budget and mission requirements (Air Force Sustainable Development Policy letter, December 2001). This policy was updated by the 2 Jun 2011 letter discussing Air Force Sustainable Design and Development (SDD) Implementing Guidance. Furthermore, EO 13423, Strengthening Federal Environmental, Energy, and Transportation Management requires that federal agencies must ensure new construction and major renovations comply with the 2006 Federal Leadership in High Performance and Sustainable Buildings Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).

In addition, EO 13123, Greening the Government through Efficient Energy Management, states that federal agencies shall apply the sustainable development principles to the siting, design, and construction of new facilities. The designer shall optimize life-cycle value, promote pollution prevention, and reduce environmental and energy costs associated with the construction, life-cycle operation, and decommissioning of the facility.

1.13.3 Air Force Sustainable Design Principles:

The facility should be designed to:

a. Optimize Site Potential: Creating sustainable buildings starts with proper site selection, including consideration of the reuse or rehabilitation of existing buildings. The location, orientation, and landscaping of a building affects the local ecosystem, transportation methods, and energy use.

b. Minimize Energy Consumption: A building should rely on optimizing system efficiencies and employing conservation measures. Renewable energy technologies should be used in facility projects whenever feasible and cost effective. New facilities should meet or exceed current Air Force energy performance goals.

c. Protect and Conserve Water: Fresh water in an increasingly scarce resource near many of our bases. A sustainable building should reduce, control or treat site runoff, use water efficiently, and implement as many Federal energy Management Program Water Efficiency Improvement Best management Practices as practicable.

d. Use environmentally preferable products: Buildings should be constructed of materials that minimize lifecycle environmental impacts such as global warming, resource depletion, and toxicity. In a materials context, life cycle includes raw materials acquisition, product manufacturing, packaging, transportation, installation, use and ultimate disposal.

00 22 13 - Page 10

e. Enhance indoor environmental quality (IEQ): The IEQ of a building has a significant impact on occupant health, comfort, and productivity. Among other attributes, a building should optimize day-lighting, be well ventilated, control moisture, and avoid the use of materials with high-VOC emissions.

f. Optimize Operational and Maintenance Practices: Buildings should be designed to take into account the energy and environmental impacts of operating and maintaining the building.

Designers are encouraged to specify materials and systems that reduced maintenance requirements, and/or require less water, energy and toxic chemicals to maintain.

1.13.4 LEEDTM Green Building Rating System

The United States Green Building Council’s (USGBC) “Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEEDTM) Green Building Rating System” is the Air Force preferred self-assessment metric.

The “Air Force amendment” has been created to make the LEEDTM system a more comprehensive tool for Air Force use. The Air Force amendment adds five prerequisites that represent existing regulatory requirements, and proposes three innovation credits that are particularly relevant for Air Force facilities. However, the total number of points available and the scoring criteria remain identical to the basic LEEDTM system. The LEEDTM system with the Air Force amendment shall be used for both design guidance and assessment, to evaluate the overall quality of the design effort. The design shall meet the certified level, at a minimum. The design effort shall seek out integrated design solutions that provide the best value for the Air Force, and do not increase the overall cost of the project beyond the available budget.

1.13.5 LEEDTM Certification with the USGBC

Submission of project documentation to the USGBC for official LEEDTM certification is required for this project if so stated in the scope of work. If required, the project must obtain minimum LEEDTM Silver Certification. However, the A/E shall provide documentation of design decisions as required in the Sustainable Design Report, and a LEEDTM score shall be submitted to the Air Force based on the team’s self-assessment of the project.

1.13.6 Integrated Design

An integrated design process shall be employed for this design effort, to provide the best value solution for the Air Force. It is the responsibility of the A/E to ensure that the conceptual design and design development process benefits from the input of the full A/E team representing planning, site design, civil engineering, architecture, MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing) engineering, and interior design; user representatives, base civil engineer, Air Force project manager, facilities manager, and cost engineer. The conceptual design charrette shall be attended by design professionals and Air Force facilities staff representing all disciplines. The charrette process shall be followed by a series of full team design and coordination sessions as the design is developed and finalized.

1.13.7 Sustainable Design Reports

Sustainable design reports are a requirement of this contract. These reports provide the Air Force with

00 22 13 - Page 11 documentation that enables project managers to track the design effort as it is progressing. The A/E is responsible for preparing a Sustainable Design report at the end of Concept Design, and at the end of the Design Development/Documentation phase. Drafts of the Sustainable Design report must be submitted with the drawing and specification submittals at 30%, 60% and 90% complete phases.

Unless stated otherwise, the Sustainable Design Report documenting construction phase issues shall be completed by the construction contractor. Outlines describing the content required are included as an attachment to this Scope of Work.

1.13.8 Life Cycle Cost Analysis:

a. Life cycle cost analysis shall be used as a design tool to ensure that the design provides the best value to the Air Force. Life cycle cost analysis evaluates investment cost (first cost), utility costs (energy, water use, wastewater disposal), operation and maintenance costs, and periodic replacement costs. For more information on how to conduct life cycle cost analysis for the federal government see: 10 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 436, Part A, Federal Energy Management and Planning Programs, Subpart 1 – Methodology and Procedure for Life Cycle Cost Analyses and Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) on Criteria/Standards for Economic Analyses/Life Cycle Costing for MILCON Design, March 1996.

b. Unless otherwise stated by Air Force Instructions, all dollar amounts shall be estimated in constant dollars, with a discount rate of 7 percent. The actual price of energy at the time the study is conducted shall establish the “base-year” energy cost. The study period for a new facility design or retrofit should not exceed the lesser of 25 years, or the period of intended use of the facility. For a leased facility it should not exceed the lesser of 25 years or the effective remaining term of the lease.

c. Life cycle cost analysis is recommended to guide the following decisions:

1) High performance building envelope: Test options that create a high performance envelope including high performance glazing, insulation (beyond code required levels), overhangs for sun control, light shelves, etc. Evaluate savings in energy consumption and potential reductions in the cost of mechanical systems that may result. Also consider maintenance and periodic replacement costs of these options.

2) Energy efficient lighting: Test options that utilize day lighting, energy efficient electric lighting, task-ambient lighting and lighting controls such as daylight dimming and occupancy sensors. Evaluate savings in energy consumption and potential reductions in the cost of mechanical systems that may result. Also consider maintenance and periodic replacement costs of these options.

3) Mechanical system selection: Test a minimum of three different system options to determine the relationship between first cost and life cycle value. Consider operating costs, maintenance and periodic replacement costs of these options.

4) Materials durability: Test a minimum of three options for building cladding and roofing to determine the relationship between first cost and life cycle value. Consider operating costs, maintenance and periodic replacement costs of these options.

00 22 13 - Page 12

1.13.9 Green Procurement

Federal Statutes and regulations require all Federal Agencies to consider the use of Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) designated recovered content items and U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) designated biopreferred product categories for every procurement.

Interior designers or architects will have completed a recognized program of academic training in interior design; and have attained registration or licensure.

b. Designers must be concerned with designing an environment that is comfortable, welcoming and conducive to work or other prescribed activity. Contributing factors include proper HVAC, lighting, acoustics and furnishings. Acoustic design issues include speech privacy, sound isolation or sound masking.

c. Designers will incorporate methods of way finding through the facility, including the development of an interior signage package, using color and patterns as applicable. These design components will form a well-organized, comprehensible interior environment that guides users and visitors through the building to their destinations. Refer to UFC 3-120-01, Air Force Sign Standard.

d. Designers must incorporate sustainable design in the selection of materials and in the promotion of interior environmental quality. Projects must achieve designated LEED ratings. Sustainable or “green” design elements must be considered on all projects. Designers will evaluate furnishings and finish materials containing recycled product and materials that can be recycled at the “end of their useful life”. This concept, which is “cradle to cradle” handling of materials, is the preferable choice because it eliminates a waste stream. For example, some manufacturers’’ carpeting products are made from recycled materials and then those manufacturers provide recycling of that carpeting at the end of its useful life whereby the old material is recycled into new carpeting material. Whenever possible, use sustainable principles when choosing interior finishes and materials, furnishings and equipment.

e. Designers will determine the appropriate interior finish materials as well as the conceptual http://www.epa.gov/cpg/products.htm http://www.biopreferred.gov/designationitems.aspx
