2-1 OVERVIEW

The National Guard has a commitment to the incorporation of sustainable design standards and practices into selected at Truax Field near Madison Wisconsin. This project is being designed in accordance with UFC 1-200-02, High Performance and Sustainable Building (HPSB) Requirements and will be third party certified via registration with the Green Business Certification Incorporated

(GBCI) for Guiding Principles Compliance certification. In addition to this narrative and the attached

Construction Documents and Specifications, refer to the ANG Sustainability Requirements

Scoresheet.

Truax Field and the 115 th

Fighter Wing have been selected to bed down a squadron of 18-PAA F-

35 Fighter Aircraft. The F-35 mission at Truax Field requires new facilities and changes and upgrades to existing facilities and spaces to provide adequate maintenance spaces on base for the Program. The F-35 Alter Building 400 AMXS is a renovated facility that is being submitted to

GBCI for consideration.

As a part of this submission, the Sustainability subsections included in this narrative are organized according to UFC 1-200-02, High Performance and Sustainable Building (HPSB) Sections 2-2 through 2-7. This narrative includes documentation required to be submitted to GBCI for review, included “snippets” of the Specifications and cutsheets from various manufacturers that will support the materials and methods that have been and will be used during the Design and

Construction process.

To comply with Air National Guard (ANG) regulations, the Base at Truax Field issued a DD1391 document as a part of the solicitation for design services. The DD1391 includes the following statements that serve as a description for the Project:

“Description of Proposed Renovation: Renovation of F-35 Alter Building 400 AMXS to include bays for fuel cell maintenance, enclosed wash rack, and weapons load crew training utilizing conventional design and construction methods to accommodate the mission of the facility. Facilities will be designed as permanent construction in accordance with the DoD Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) 1-

200-01, General Building Requirements and UFC 1-200-02, High Performance and Sustainable

Building Requirements. The facility should be compatible with applicable DoD, Air Force, and base design standards. In addition, local materials and construction techniques shall be used where cost effective. This project will comply with DoD antiterrorism/force protection requirements per unified facilities criteria (UFC). Special Construction Requirements include installing all required power and

HVAC to accommodate F-35 operations (overhead infrared radiant heat and ducting/power panels for equipment to provide cooling air/power for aircraft). Install fire protection, fall protection, and lightning protection systems adequate for F-35 operations. Facility will be a one-bay fuel cell/wash rack/weapons load trainer with interchangeable bays. Construction phasing shall enable continued maintenance of assigned aircraft.”

This submission is to demonstrate compliance with the DD1391 requirements for the Project

2-2 EMPLOY INTEGRATED DESIGN PRINCIPLES

2-2.1 Integrated Design

The project team consists of all designers of record, the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ), in this case, the Base Civil Engineer (BCE), the Design Working Group (DWG), and the

Commissioning Authority.

As a part of the solicitation for Design Services, the Air National Guard has a commitment to the incorporation of sustainable design standards and practices into all facilities and operations on the Installation. The DD Form 1391 dated, 07 June 2018 (attachment #XX), states the facility will be designed in accordance with the DOD Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC)

UFC 1-200-02, High Performance and Sustainable Building Requirements. In response to this requirement, the building will be third party certified via registration with the Green Business

Certification Incorporated (GBCI) for Guiding Principles Compliance certification.

An integrated design charrette was held with the designers of record, the F-35 Alter Building

400 AMXS and DWG from July 15 to 17, 2019. Meeting Minutes were provided to the DWG for review and input. During the meeting, the goals of the DD Form 1391 and the requirements of UFC 1-200-02 were discussed and addressed. The Charrette Reports are attachments #XX through #XX.

As the project progresses, the team is holding regular design review meetings to re-assess design and construction decisions as they relate to building performance and sustainability. It was determined that periodic meetings would serve this project better than a sustainability correspondence log. Meeting minutes for those meetings will be maintained and distributed to the team for review, comment, and reference. The Design Review Meeting Minutes are attachments #XX and XX.

Additionally, the design team prepared Type A1-Schematic Design, Type A2-Design

Development, Type B1-Design Development and Type B2-Construction Document Project

Books as a required deliverable and the project book was also updated at each Type B service phase. For your review, we have attached the B2-Submittal Drawings and Specifications as attachments #XX and #XX. This process ensured the team was kept informed of the owner’s project requirements (OPR), the basis of design (BOD) and any changes occurring as the design process matured through completion. The team utilized BIM software to integrate, coordinate and optimize their designs throughout the project. Microsoft Teams, an online collaboration tool, was utilized to notify the team of design questions, issues, decisions, and direction. See Section 2-2.1.1 Integrated Planning for further description of design communication and meetings.

The transition from design to construction has also been considered. The construction specifications include reference to UFC 01 200 02, the GBCI Technical Guide and the GBCI

Project Information form which will show the Contractor the items for which they are responsible. The UFC 01 200 02 requirements will also be discussed in the pre-bid and construction kickoff meetings. The team will utilize submittal exchange to inventory, gather, approve, and document construction submittals. The design team will provide HPSB guidance to the contractor as construction progresses.

2-2.1.1 Integrated Planning

The project team utilized integrated planning from the start of the project to identify requirements and to establish performance goals for siting, energy, water, materials, indoor environmental quality, and other comprehensive design goals. Design Working Group interviews were held as an integral part of the design charrette.

The project team (all designers of record, F-35 Alter Building 400 AMXS and DWG, and CxA) held an integrated design charrette to discuss the Guiding Principles and HPSB requirements prior to commencing A1 Schematic Design. During the meeting, the goals of the DD Form 1391 and the requirements of UFC 1-200-02 and Appendix F of ASHRAE 189.1 were discussed and addressed.

Refer to the meeting minutes and Integrated Design Matrices for this discussion. See the Project

Book for a description of the sustainability goals (ANG Sustainability Scoresheet) and facility programming needs.

The F-35 Alter Building 400 AMXS defined Operation and Maintenance (O&M) goals not included in the DD Form 1391:

• Utilize LED lighting.

• Utilize manual plumbing fixtures for improved O&M.

• Utilize occupancy sensors for lighting wherever possible.

• Specify architectural finishes appropriate to the space/function to increase longevity and ease of maintenance.

• Preference use for the use of bolts over welding as primary connection type to make deconstruction easier.

• Material choices to allow for a minimum of 60% of the nonhazardous construction and demo waste material to be diverted from landfills if this building is ever to be deconstructed.

Operation and Maintenance (O&M) costs of the mechanical systems were considered during design and the Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA). However, as reliable values for O&M costs for different system types are not readily available, no savings between system types were assumed.

Maintenance of the systems was considered when determining the preliminary system layouts and designs. Much of the mechanical equipment is rooftop mounted and centralized in the F-35 Alter

Building 400 AMXS mechanical room for O&M efficiency. The ASHRAE 30% energy consumption reduction from ASHRAE 90.1 baseline dictates what lighting system types can be specified. LED is required to maximize the reduction; therefore, deconstruction, operation and maintenance are not a factor. Architectural finishes appropriate to the Hangar Bay, Offices and Restroom Area applications have been specified to increase longevity.

Many of the materials used on the renovation of the F-35 Alter Building 400 AMXS (more than the required 60%; anticipated up to 80%) will be able to be recycled including the concrete shallow foundations, concrete pads, the steel, precast walls, metal cladding accents, metal studs, copper cabling, vinyl floor tiles, roofing insulation, roofing membrane and the gypsum board. Masonry walls, where used, can be recycled. The ceiling tiles can be saved and reused. Additionally, the asphalt paving in parking lot can be recycled. Preference for the use of bolts over welding is being specified as the primary connection type where possible to make deconstruction easier and to increase the likelihood that the steel remains in a reusable condition.

ANG/WI – F35: Alter Building 400 AMXS GBCI Project Number: XGFG182009

Page 6 of 126 GBCI Project ID: 1000145152

Another meeting was held at the Type B1, 50% design "on-board" meeting to review these requirements and discuss how design changes may affect each other During the Type B2 Pre-Final

Submittal preparation, HPSB design integration was addressed via email, phone calls and ad-hoc meetings and resulting discussion were incorporated into the B2 Submittal.

As the project progressed, the team is holding regular ad-hoc meetings, e-mail, and calls to re-assess design and construction decisions as they relate to building performance and sustainability.

It was determined that periodic ad-hoc meetings, e-mails, and calls would serve this project better than a planning log. Meeting minutes for formal meetings were maintained and distributed to the team for review, comment, and reference.

2-2.1.2 Evaluation for Design Strategies

The team evaluated several different building layouts, and roof massing (daylighting) utilizing integrated design matrices to rate the different distribution and configuration options (Attachments

#XX), Indoor Air Quality, Environmental Quality, Energy, Commissioning, Measurement Verification, Natural Lighting (Attachments #XX), Initial Cost and Operation and Maintenance. Ultimately the best design optimization was chosen as the favored concept option. This is represented by the Option A floor plan and site plan (Attachments #XX),. The team also discussed three HVAC options: air source

VRF, geothermal VRF, and packaged rooftop units. An energy model was developed to compare the performances of the three HVAC alternatives alongside installation and replacement costs for the life-cycle costs analysis. Passive strategies for lighting and ventilation were considered and utilized where applicable. The F-35 Alter Building 400 AMXS will be ventilated via exhaust/ventilation systems in addition to passive ventilation via frequently open overhead doors Separating the Base

Hazardous Storage function from the Civil Engineering Building eliminates having to mitigate fumes entering the office and classroom spaces. The shops, Emergency Management Storage Area and

Material Control Storage spaces will also be lit during the day with natural diffused light through clerestory, insulated, translucent panels above the workspace that face southeast, as well as the north wall of the Training Rooms will also utilize the translucent panels to maximize daylighting. Light shelves were added into the occupied spaces on the north and east sides to allow light deeper into these spaces. Some of the Office area will be partially lit during the day with natural diffused light through clerestory, insulated, translucent panel skylights above the workspace. Other perimeter spaces will receive daylighting through vision glass.

2-2.1.3 Evaluation of the Site

Although the siting of the building was not included in the DD1391, the building had already been sited within the F-35 Alter Building 400 AMXS Master Plan/Installation Development Plan. However, within that pre-determined site, the team brainstormed different building distribution layouts options, siting and roof massing (daylighting) utilizing integrated design matrices to rate the different options based on, Indoor Air Quality, Environmental Quality, Energy, Commissioning and Measurement

Verification, Initial Cost and Operation and Maintenance. Ultimately the highest rated configuration, or design optimization was chosen as the favored concept option. This is represented by the Option

A floor plan. (Attachments #XX)

The Option A building configuration is favored because it is…

Page 7 of 126 GBCI Project ID: 1000145152

2-2.1.4 Site Integration and Design of the Building

• Site design elements that ensure safe and convenient pedestrian access.

The F-35 Alter Building 400 AMXS currently has sidewalks on site that provide safe and convenient pedestrian access between adjacent buildings. The sidewalks are designed to meet Architectural

Barriers Act (ABA) requirements and provide connection to adjacent existing sidewalk networks, thereby encouraging proper pedestrian traffic flow through what is intended to be a centralized green space. Concrete sidewalks connect the building to existing sidewalks adjacent to the project site.

Refer to the HPSB documentation for the evolution of the site design elements.

• Meet the requirements of UFC 3-201-02.

There is no existing irrigation system, and this project does not include the construction of a proposed irrigation system. Potable water will not be used for irrigating new landscaping, other than for plant establishment. There will be minor site landscaping including turfgrass establishment by seeding due to the proximity to the airfield to limit wildlife attractants. Other plantings and landscape design features are not included and are not part of the base aesthetics or project goals. Minimalist landscaping further supports anti-terrorism/force protection (UFC 4-010-01) compliance by not having landscape features that could conceal an explosive threat.

UFC 3-201-02 Critical Design requirements for planting and irrigation establishment period will be addressed in the project specifications. Section 329200-Turfs and Grasses of the project specifications will include an article on Turf Maintenance, which will require a 1-year warranty and maintenance period, with periodic inspections at the establishment of the turf, substantial completion of the project, and as directed by the Owner's Representative.

The Option A building distribution configuration is favored because it is least disruptive to the existing building.

• Orient building to maximize energy efficiency, passive solar and daylighting potential.

The orientation of the building in Option A provides daylighting through windows, skylights and clerestory features without a direct southern facing heat gain orientation which is favorable during the summer months and will help keep the shop spaces cooler since they are not mechanically cooled.

The design team selected, designed, and integrated into the overall building, high performance and sustainable systems (e.g., HVAC, plumbing, water heating systems, lighting systems, control systems, elevators, building envelope and fire protection systems). Ultimately the highest rated configuration, or design optimization was chosen as the favored concept option. This is represented by the Option 1 floor plan. (Attachments #XX).

Lighting: The project will utilize LED fixtures throughout and automated lighting controls. Daylighting is offered using insulated, transparent panels where clear glazing is not required or permitted. The use of insulated, transparent panels will be balanced with insulated walls to optimize building envelop performance and daylighting. Skylights were added into the occupied spaces to allow natural light deeper into these spaces. Other perimeter spaces will receive daylighting through vision

ANG/WI – F35: Alter Building 400 AMXS GBCI Project Number: XGFG182009

Page 8 of 126 GBCI Project ID: 1000145152 glass.

HVAC: The team evaluated three HVAC options: air source variable refrigerant flow (VRF), geothermal VRF and packaged rooftop units for energy reduction, fossil fuel reduction, life-cycle cost, and occupant comfort optimization. A geothermal test well was installed and evaluated for use along with energy model results to assess the geothermal field size and performance. The energy model allowed the team to evaluate expected energy usage for the different options as well as the impacts of incremental changes to envelope properties and equipment performances.

Plumbing: Water efficiency design decisions will be made according to Chapter 1 of UFC 1-200-02, meet the requirements of ASHRAE 189.1 Section 6.3.2, which incorporates USEPA Water Sense-labeled products, 6.4.2 and 6.4.3.

Fire protection: Wet pipe fire protection systems will be provided via connection to the base wide, non-potable fire water loop. The domestic water supply will not be used for fire protection.

Building Envelope:

The exterior materials have been carefully considered to accomplish the following goals:

Maintain the architectural harmony being created on the base by several recently completed projects. Materials used on those projects that will also be used in this project include: exterior insulated finish systems (EIFS) split faced. All materials are proven systems that have performed very well on similar buildings in this same climate for years.

All exterior materials used in the current design are very durable and will serve the base with average maintenance costs for years to come (50+ years average).

Alternate exterior materials that could have been chosen, such as EFIS or wood panel cladding, would not provide the same serviceability and durability that the proposed materials will provide.

Energy efficient, double glazed, low-E glazing or translucent wall panels to permit daylighting of interior spaces where vision glass is unnecessary.

The project includes insulated metal doors (man doors and overhead doors).

Furthermore, wall systems at the administrative spaces will be comprised of decorative clay brick or concrete block (4 in.) masonry exterior with metal stud backup. Wall systems at the Shop spaces will be comprised of insulated, architectural precast panels that also function as load-bearing walls for roof system support. These systems are economical, recyclable during future deconstruction, energy efficient, and durable while meeting the installation architectural design standards for aesthetic value.

Insulated roof systems will be reflective combination of white TPO or similar material on flat areas.

Insulated roof systems will be reflective combination of white PVC membrane roofing.

Promote opportunities for occupants to voluntarily increase physical activity.

ANG/WI – F35: Alter Building 400 AMXS GBCI Project Number: XGFG182009

Page 9 of 126 GBCI Project ID: 1000145152

Occupants who work in the shop spaces have standing workstations. The nature of the shop/maintenance work is physical by itself. Occupants have nearby physical fitness centers and running areas as fitness is a requirement of Air National Guard members. Personnel vehicle parking is also located away from the buildings for anti-terrorism reasons and promotes walking to/from vehicles on a regular basis.

Meet the requirements of UFC 3-201-02.

2-2.2 Commissioning

FSB has produced a specification that requires the G.C. to provide a commissioning specialist. The

F-35 Alter Building 400 AMXS, or AHJ per UFC 01 200 02, wants the Commissioning Firm to be responsible to the owner instead of the General or Prime Contractor because the Commissioning

Firm could be put in a compromised position working for the contractor which directly conflicts with the requirement that the Commissioning Firm be independent.

The following systems will be commissioned:

Plumbing Systems

DOMESTIC HOT WATER (DHW) SYSTEM

DOMESTIC WATER METER

HVAC Systems (and integral equipment controls)

AIR SOURCE VARIABLE REFRIGERANT FLOW (VRF) SYSTEMS

GAS-FIRED UNIT HEATERS

MAKE-UP AIR UNIT

DEDICATED OUTDOOR AIR UNIT

BUILDING AUTOMATION SYSTEM (BAS) AND RELATED HVAC CONTROLS

EXHAUST AIR SYSTEMS

Electrical Systems

INTERIOR BUILDING LIGHTING CONTROLS (occupancy / vacancy sensors)

EXTERIOR BUILDING LIGHTING CONTROLS

TEMPORARY EMERGENCY GENERATOR AND MANUAL TRANSFER SWITCH

FIRE ALARM SYSTEM (related to HVAC systems)

Miscellaneous Systems

UTILITY METERING (connections to the BAS)

These additional systems will not be commissioned for the following reasons:

• Building envelope systems, components, and assemblies to verify the airtightness and thermal and moisture integrity will not be commissioned. The F-35 Alter Building 400 AMXS has directed only the energy using systems to be commissioned; thermal envelope

ANG/WI – F35: Alter Building 400 AMXS GBCI Project Number: XGFG182009

Page 10 of 126 GBCI Project ID: 1000145152 commissioning is not a goal/requirement of this project. The shop and storage spaces within the building will by their nature require frequent use of overhead doors minimizing the impact that envelope testing could have.

• Fenestration control systems: Automatic controls for shading devices and dynamic glazing will not be commissioned because there are none on this project.

• Irrigation will not be commissioned because there is none on this project.

• Fire Suppression and Alarm Systems will not be commissioned. Life, Health and Safety (LHS) systems are typically not energy using systems. This building is being commissioned for sustainability purposes. The LHS for this project will not be complex. The LHS systems (fire alarm, suppression, MNS) will be fully tested and verified they are operational and fully functional by the certified installers in the presence of ANG maintenance technicians and usually in conjunction with their training requirements as identified in the project specifications. For these reasons, the F-35 Alter Building 400 AMXS does not desire the systems to be commissioned as part of this scope.

• Process water pumping and mixing systems will not be commissioned because there are none on this project.

• Service water heating systems will not be commissioned because there are none on this project.

• Renewable energy systems will not be commissioned because there are none on this project; they were not found to be life-cycle cost effective.

• Elevator Controls will not be commissioned because there are none on this project.

• Security Systems will not be commissioned. There are security systems on this project (door security/magnetic locks/keypads) but they should not be commissioned per the F-35 Alter

Building 400 AMXS. The construction contractor’s project scope includes installation of the rough-in components, but the ANG (or their specialized vendor under separate contract) installs the security system/devices/final connections, not the construction contractor.

• Audio /Visual Systems will not be commissioned because there are none on this project.

This equipment is not in the contract.

• Communication Systems will not be commissioned. The project does have communication systems (public address and data/communication drops at certain locations); however, the

F-35 Alter Building 400 AMXS does not want them commissioned. The public address (PA) system will be independently tested and verified by the vendor. PA system also interfaces with GFGI telephone system; functionality of PA system controls via the telephone system will be verified separately as part of telephone system verification. The communication drops will be roughed-in by the construction contractor, but the ANG will have their communication specialists make those final connections to their system.

2-3 OPTIMIZE ENERGY PERFORMANCE

2-3.1 Energy Efficiency

2-3.1.1 Commercial and Multi-Family High-Rise Residential Buildings

The building design will meet or exceed requirements set out in ASHRAE 90.1-2013 as well as applicable efficiency improvements as called for in ASHARE 189.1-2014. The energy model analysis includes spaces and equipment modeled to these efficiency standards. The efficiency standards will be required as minimums on the equipment schedules included on the design drawings.

2-3.1.4 Energy Efficient Products

Energy Star equipment will be specified where applicable and where included in the project program

(versus Government Furnished/Government installed equipment, the Government purchases

Energy Star equipment as a standard, where available)

Refer to the HPSB documentation for a list of ENERGY STAR and FEMP – designated Energy

Efficient Products.

2-3.1.5 Standby Powered Devices.

Much of the shop equipment only has on/off mode. Fixed electronic equipment does not typically have a low powered standby mode. When equipment has the ability for a standby mode of operation low wattage standby devices will be utilized. Half-switched duplex receptacles are installed throughout the facility as defined by ASHRAE 90.1 that are controlled by the occupancy sensors. The occupancy sensors are controlled and can be scheduled by the central lighting controller. The ANG will need to comply with this requirement for any equipment purchased under separate contracts.

2-3.2 On-Site Renewable Energy

Renewable energy systems were not included in DD Form 1391 authorization / limited scope of work for this project. Nevertheless, life-cycle cost analyses (LCCA’s) were performed for photovoltaics, solar hot water, and geothermal systems.

Photovoltaic system was determined to not be practical for the project. Roof area of new buildings suitable for the installation of photovoltaic panels is limited. LCCA for roof mounted photovoltaic system on available roof area indicates a simple payback of 24 years, which exceeds the 20 year current average life expectancy of photovoltaic systems.

Energy model results were input into geothermal modeling software to determine initial field sizing and performance. This information was utilized during the life-cycle cost analysis to determine initial cost of the geothermal heat pump system. As the geothermal bore field is the mechanical system component with the longest service life, the LCCA duration was selected at 40 years. The

LCCA determined that direct expansion roof top units with gas heat was the lowest cost option over this period. Because of these results, geothermal heat pumps were not recommended for

ANG/WI – F35: Alter Building 400 AMXS GBCI Project Number: XGFG182009

Page 12 of 126 GBCI Project ID: 1000145152 installation.

2-3.2.1 Solar Domestic Hot Water (SDHW)

The Solar Hot Water System Calculator available through the Energy Efficiency & Renewable

Energy website was utilized to evaluate a solar domestic hot water system. The recommended hot water usage rates and equipment efficiencies were input along with the average fuel cost for the state of Wisconsin that available from the DOE. The resulting simple payback for a solar hot water system was 167 years. Given that this timeframe is beyond that of the overall HVAC life-cycle cost analysis, as well as beyond that of the expected average service life for the equipment, installation of a solar hot water system is not recommended.

2-3.3 Metering

The project team has provided individual metering as required by UFC 1-200-02 for water (new), gas

(new), electric power (new). There is no steam supply for this project.

2-4 PROTECT AND CONSERVE WATER

2-4.1 Indoor Water

Water efficiency design decisions will be made according to Chapter 1 of UFC 1-200-02, and meet the requirements of ASHRAE 189.1 Section 6.3.2, which incorporates EPA WaterSense-labeled products, 6.4.2 and 6.4.3. Clothes washing machines will comply with ENERGY STAR program requirements.

The F-35 Alter Building 400 AMXS prefers manual fixtures for improved O&M. Water saving features for manual fixtures were investigated.

2-4.1.1 Indoor Water Metering proposed irrigation system. Potable water will not be used for irrigating new landscaping. There will not be site landscaping beyond Seeding activities until the turf is established.

2-4.2.1 Outdoor Water- Landscaping proposed irrigation system. Potable water will not be used for irrigating new landscaping, other than for plant establishment.

UFC 3-201-02 Critical Design requirements for planting and irrigation establishment period will be addressed in the project specifications. Section 329200-Turfs and Grasses of the project specifications will include an article on Turf Maintenance, which will require a 1-year warranty and maintenance period, with periodic inspections at the establishment of the turf, substantial completion of the project, and as directed by the Owner's Representative.

There is also no permanent irrigation system. Therefore, this requirement is compliant. Minimalist landscaping further supports anti-terrorism/force protection (UFC 4-010-01) compliance by not having landscape features that could conceal an explosive threat.

2-4.2. Outdoor Water Metering proposed irrigation system. Potable water will not be used for irrigating new landscaping, other than for plant establishment. Therefore, outdoor water meters will not be utilized and are not applicable.

2-4.3 Alternative Water

There isn’t any permanent irrigation on this project; therefore, the project is in compliance. Grey water cannot be utilized for latrines and break room nor can it be utilized for any mission activities.

The project is in an area where previously there was only pavement and access drive lanes.

Therefore, the existing surface within the limits of construction is entirely impervious. Under proposed developed conditions, the actual amount of impervious area (pavement) will be reduced from the existing condition with the addition of green space (turfgrass established by seeding).

According to UFC 3-210-10, the definition of “footprint” consists of all new impervious surfaces associated with the buildings, including both building area and pavement area of associated supporting facilities (such as parking and sidewalks). "Footprint" does not include existing pavement area to be resurfaced. This project does not propose any new impervious surfaces, but rather proposes to reduce the overall impervious area by transforming xxxx square feet, or approximately

43%, of the existing impervious surfaces (pavement) into pervious surfaces (grass and landscape gravel). As a result, there will be a reduction in the post-developed volume and rate of storm water runoff to the existing storm sewer system, which complies with UFC 3-210-10, but the preparation of further documentation is not applicable.

Limits of construction =112,402 sf

Pre-Development Conditions:

Impervious Surfaces to be removed = 85,588 sf (Building 414, asphalt parking lot and pavements concrete apron pavement, concrete sidewalk, and combination concrete curb and gutter)

Post-Development Conditions:

Impervious Surface to be constructed= 28,900 sf (building) + 16,301 sf (concrete sidewalk and pavement)+ 239,675 sf (asphalt pavement) = 84,876 sf

2-5 ENHANCE INDOOR ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY

2-5.1 Ventilation and Thermal Comfort

The F-35 Alter Building 400 AMXS will be ventilated mechanically where applicable and via the overhead doors and possibly passive or mechanical clerestory ventilation (operable openings/exhaust louvers). The unconditioned workshop spaces will be provided with a de-stratification fan to increase space comfort during peak seasons. Separating the Hazardous Storage function from the occupied Civil Engineering Building eliminates odors associated with stored materials from entering occupied spaces.

Additional passive ventilation measures in the clerestory translucent panel were evaluated but non-operable panels were selected due to their height.

2-5.2 Daylighting and Lighting Controls

Daylighting (Light Stanza Software) was modelled for the building throughout the design process resulting in several changes including adding new windows and skylights for some of the interior offices. (Attachment #XX)

LED lighting with automated controls will be used throughout the facility. Lighting controls were coordinated with the daylight analyses.

Skylights were added into some occupied spaces to allow natural light into these spaces. Other perimeter spaces will receive daylighting through vision glass.

At the interior of the F-35 Alter Building 400 AMXS, the walls will be painted a light color to assist in the dispersion of natural light that will enter those spaces from the exterior windows.

Typical Office/Admin Areas In typical office/admin areas, a combination of a wall mounted on/off switch in each office/admin area will be provided with a vacancy sensor in each room to automatically turn off the lighting in the space after the room/area has been vacant for an adjustable time period (30 minutes). HVAC system will also utilize the status of the sensors (via the BMS) to set temps, etc for the rooms.

The system will have the capability to perform programmed sweeps within the building.

Capability of programmed sweeps to turn off lighting in admin/offices after normal hours will be provided. Daylight sensors shall be provided in rooms exposed to daylight. The network controls will have the capability to dim fixtures based on the available daylight in a space.

The Hangar Bay will be controlled by individual area. High Bay fixtures will be controlled by manual wall switch with dimming capability. Daylight sensors shall be utilized for daylight provided thru translucent wall panels and Hangar Doors when they are open. The Hangar Bay lighting system will also be controlled via the BMS with programmable software to control lighting by automatic and manual on/off command, programmable setting of light levels through dimming, daily/hourly scheduling of the control and light levels by time of day and by tasks being performed in the Hangar Bay.

Exterior lights will be controlled by photocell that will be tied into the central lighting controller.

The central lighting controller will be tied into the BAS system.

Automated lighting controls in accordance with UFC 3-530-01 and ASHRAE 90.1 -2013 will be provided. The system will include a central lighting control network for monitoring and control of the lighting. The lighting control system will be connected to the building management system

(BMS).

2-5.3 Indoor Air Quality

2-5.3.1 Moisture Control

The thermal envelope, including below the concrete slab on grade, will include vapor barriers. The new exterior walls will be either insulated precast concrete panels with integral vapor barrier at the shop areas or brick masonry with vapor barrier backed by sheathing and metal studs in the administrative areas. Water and vapor intrusion will be eliminated by these two wall systems. This project will include the installation of a vapor barrier at the entire perimeter of the building, both in the roofing and walls systems. For precast walls, the barrier will be integral with the wall system.

The new concrete floor slab will include the installation of a vapor barrier for interior space humidity control and to protect the non-permeable floor finishes.

Materials stored on site during construction shall be protected from moisture damage in accordance with specifications. Damaged materials or materials containing biological growth will not be permitted in the construction. Refer to Section - 01 31 00 Project Management &

The Technical Guide requires that the submitter “Review (Step 1) ASHRAE 189.1 Section 8.4.2.” The reality of this document is that it really gives very little guidance about selecting materials. (Step 2) requires the submitter to Utilize Table 3.1 which is a helpful tool if the Product Data actually lists the standards that match the requirements listed in the document.

Path Two is the path that we are following for this submission. Path Two in the Technical Guide supplies an active internet link to several LEED locations where the actual requirements for material selection are defined quite accurately. These are the links that we used to help us select the materials for the Project.
