FOREWORD

The Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) system is prescribed by MIL-STD 3007 and provides planning, design, construction, sustainment, restoration, and modernization criteria, and applies to the Military Departments, the Defense Agencies, and the DOD Field Activities in accordance with USD (AT&L) Memorandum dated 29 May 2002. UFC will be used for all DOD projects and work for other customers where appropriate. All construction outside of the United States is also governed by Status of Forces Agreements (SOFA), Host Nation Funded Construction Agreements (HNFA), and in some instances, Bilateral Infrastructure Agreements (BIA.)

Therefore, the acquisition team must ensure compliance with the most stringent of the UFC, the SOFA, the HNFA, and the BIA, as applicable.

UFCs are living documents and will be periodically reviewed, updated, and made available to users as part of the Services’ responsibility for providing technical criteria for military construction. Headquarters, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (HQUSACE), Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC), and Air Force Civil Engineer Center (AFCEC) are responsible for administration of the UFC system. Defense agencies should contact the preparing service for document interpretation and improvements. Technical content of UFC is the responsibility of the cognizant DOD working group. Recommended changes with supporting rationale should be sent to the respective service proponent office by the following electronic form: Criteria Change Request. The form is also accessible from the Internet sites listed below.

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION

1-1 BACKGROUND.

The Energy Policy Act of 2005, Energy and Independence Security Act of 2007, and Executive Order (EO) 13693 mandate Federal agencies to lead by example, promoting sustainable Federal buildings through environmentally-sound, economically-sound, and fiscally-sound design, construction, and operating decisions. The Federal requirements collectively are referred to as the “Guiding Principles”, and are detailed in “Guiding Principles for Sustainable Federal Buildings and Associated Instructions”, February 2016, which replaces “Guiding Principles for Federal High Performance and Sustainable Buildings”, 2008. Consistent with UFC program requirements, this UFC integrates DOD requirements (DODI 4170.11 and other DOD Policies) with High Performance and Sustainable Building (HPSB) Guiding Principles and industry standards for high performance and sustainable buildings.

1-2 PURPOSE AND SCOPE.

This UFC provides minimum requirements and guidance to achieve high performance and sustainable buildings that comply with the Energy Policy Act of 2005, the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007, EO 13693, and the implementation requirements found in “Guiding Principles for Sustainable Federal Buildings and Associated Instructions” (HPSB Guiding Principles). This UFC is organized around the HPSB Guiding Principles. Per DOD Sustainable Buildings Policy, when a building meets the requirements of this UFC, it is considered compliant with the HPSB Guiding Principles.

ASHRAE 90.1 Energy Standard for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings applies to all projects (except low-rise residential which must comply with IECC) in its entirety. ASHRAE 189.1 Standard for the Design of High-Performance Green Buildings is an industry standard created to consolidate and address sustainability and energy requirements. This UFC incorporates the sections of ASHRAE 189.1 mentioned herein when appropriate and determined to be life cycle cost effective. Where the provisions of ASHRAE 189.1 meet the intent of the HPSB Guiding Principles, the provisions of ASHRAE 189.1 are referenced as a means of compliance or provided as an alternative compliance pathway. When other standards are referenced in ASHRAE 189.1, use the publication date of the standard referenced in Appendix A of this document.

1-3 ORGANIZATION.

Chapter 2 provides requirements for building design and construction activities. Chapter 3 details Federal HPSB Guiding Principles Existing Building Assessment requirements that must be met in order for an existing building to be reported as a High Performance and Sustainable Building (HPSB). Chapter 4 provides HPSB tracking and reporting and third-party certification procedures. Chapter 5 highlights the more holistic vision of sustainability at the Installation level.

1-4 UFC APPLICABILITY.

1-6 HISTORIC REQUIREMENTS.

See Appendix D for project requirements impacted by historic buildings, historic districts and those near historic facilities, view sheds and other designated cultural resources.

1-7 LIFE-CYCLE COST ANALYSIS (LCCA).

Life-cycle cost-effectiveness (LCCE) as defined in CFR Title 10 Part 436, applies to this entire document unless otherwise stated. In addition to energy, water and renewables, LCCE may be applied to other materials, and building construction types. The purpose of the LCCE is to deliver buildings that meet mission needs at the lowest total ownership cost.

1-7.1 LCCA Format.

Prepare the LCCA in accordance with CFR Title 10 Part 436, Subpart A and NIST Handbook 135 “Life-Cycle Costing Manual for the Federal Energy Management Program”. The LCCA must be prepared using the Building Life-Cycle Costing (BLCC) program, available from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (http://energy.gov/eere/femp/building-life-cycle-cost-programs). The implied long-term inflation rate and discount rates identified in the Annual supplement to NIST Handbook 135 must be used. A link to BLCC can also be found at the Department of Energy’s building energy tools web site:

http://energy.gov/eere/femp/building-life-cycle-cost-programs When needed, refer to UFC 3-410-01 for requirements to obtain weather data.

1-7.2 LCCA Calculation.

Any building-level LCCA must be calculated using a maximum of a 40-year building life and equipment lives based on accepted industry averages. Individual components or systems life expectancies must be reflected by inclusion of appropriate replacement and salvage values in the appropriate year of the analysis.

1-7.3 LCCA Comparison.

LCCAs comparing individual component or system alternatives must use the estimated life of the mutually exclusive alternative having the longest life, not to exceed 40 years http://energy.gov/eere/femp/building-life-cycle-cost-programs from the beginning of beneficial use or the lowest common multiple of the expected lives of the alternatives. Include the appropriate replacement and salvage values for each of the other alternatives. A number of tools comparing energy system alternatives and evaluating specific efficiency measures may be of benefit in performing energy efficiency calculations. Additional information can be found at:

http://www.energy.gov/eere/femp/building-life-cycle-cost-programs.

Perform analysis based on the actual conditions expected over the life of the facility including anticipated occupancies, scheduled hours of operation and process loads.

Include realistic energy usage and efficiencies, maintenance cost and repairs renovations, all costs or savings associated with the utilization of recovered energy, solar heat, solar photovoltaic energy and other renewable or waste heat applications.

Credit any alternative funding such as rebates in the LCCA.

1-8 CYBERSECURITY.

2-1 OVERVIEW.

The requirements of this chapter apply to all building design and construction. Refer to Table 1-1 for thresholds for compliance.

2-1.1 New Construction and Renovation.

New construction and renovation projects must comply with all requirements; or must clearly identify and provide justification when requirements are not applicable or fully achievable. Refer to 4-2 COMPLIANCE WITH FEDERAL REQUIREMENTS for additional guidance and requirement applicability.

2-1.2 Work in Existing Buildings.

In some of the paragraphs that follow, there are specific requirements provided for renovations. For existing building renovation, operations and maintenance; sustainment, restoration, and modernization, the goal is to improve the performance of the existing building inventory with every investment. Project teams must meet the requirements of this UFC relative to systems and components included in the project scope of work, by providing the most resource-efficient solutions for the requirements of this UFC.

2-2 EMPLOY INTEGRATED DESIGN PRINCIPLES.

Integrated design is the most important requirement in achieving a high performance building. A design team must have strong, consistent representation from all stake-holders throughout the project phases to maximize opportunities to improve building performance and to fully realize increased savings potential.

2-2.1 Integrated Design.

Incorporate the following planning and evaluation into the integrated design, as described in ASHRAE 189.1 Informative Appendix F (Integrated Design). Follow the steps of design optimization, as applicable, in ASHRAE 189.1 Section F1.1.1 (Charrette Process).

2-2.1.1 Integrated Planning.

Use a collaborative, integrated planning and design team, composed of user, government support staff, and appropriate professionals, to identify requirements and to establish performance goals for siting, energy, water, materials, indoor environmental quality, and other comprehensive design goals. Ensure incorporation of these goals throughout the design and lifecycle of the building, including deconstruction.

2-2.1.2 Evaluation for Design Strategies.

Evaluate the site and building components to determine whether passive and natural design strategies and features are cost effectively incorporated before the active and mechanical systems are designed. Incorporate these features where applicable.

Take into account site attributes, including climate and local and regional context, which impact the design of the building.

2-2.1.3 Evaluation of the Site.

During the site selection process, meet the requirements of UFC 2-100-01. See Appendix B “Best Practices” for desirable site characteristics.

2-2.1.4 Site Integration and Design of the Building.

During the planning and design process meet the requirements of applicable UFCs, and use the following site development considerations and passive strategies:

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

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

• Incorporate results of site analysis, in order to design the building, focusing on orientation, configuration and massing.

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

• Select, design and integrate 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).

• Promote opportunities for occupants to voluntarily increase physical movement such as making stairwells a desirable option for circulation and active workstations.

2-2.2 Commissioning.

In order to verify design and performance, and ensure that the Government requirements are met, employ commissioning practices appropriate to the size and complexity of the building and its system components. This must include an experienced commissioning provider, who should be independent of the project design and construction team, and the operations team. The choice of either contracted services or Government personnel to serve as the commissioning provider will be determined at project level.

Meet the requirements of ASHRAE 189.1 Section 10.3.1.2 (Building Project Commissioning), with the following modifications:

• For buildings and systems that are less complex6, commissioning may be tailored as determined by the DOD Component AHJ7.

6 For Army projects, refer to Army policy for determination of systems to commission.

7 For Air Force projects, the Project Delivery Team must determine the level of commissioning activities required.

• “Schematic design” is the design charrette or similar conceptual design activity.

• Documentation as described in ASHRAE 55 Section 6.2 is not required.

• If a 30% reduction is not LCCE, modify the design of the proposed building to achieve an energy consumption level at the highest level of energy efficiency that is LCCE.

• Determine energy consumption levels for both the ASHRAE Baseline Building and proposed building by using the Performance Rating Method found in appendix G of ASHRAE 90.1, except the formula for calculating the Performance Rating. Replace the formula in G1.2 with the following:

Percentage improvement = 100 × ((Baseline building consumption − Receptacle and process loads) − (Proposed building consumption − Receptacle and process loads)) / (Baseline building consumption − Receptacle and process loads)9

2-3.1.2 Low-Rise Residential Buildings.

• Meet the requirements of International Energy Conservation Code (IECC).

• Design the building to achieve at least 30% energy consumption reduction from the IECC baseline using the Simulated Performance Alternative found in Section 405 of the IECC.

• If a 30% reduction is not LCCE, modify the design of the proposed building to achieve an energy consumption level at the highest level of energy efficiency that is LCCE.

8Use ASHRAE 90.1(2010) for all projects with design starts before November 6, 2016. Use ASHRAE 90.1(2013) thereafter.

9 Energy consumption for the purposes of calculating the 30 percent savings requirements in CFR Title 10 Part 433, §433.100 shall include the building envelope and energy consuming systems normally specified as part of the building design by ASHRAE 90.1 such as space heating, space cooling, ventilation, service water heating, and lighting, but shall not include receptacle and process loads not within the scope of ASHRAE 90.1 such as specialized medical or research equipment and equipment used in manufacturing processes.

2-3.1.3 Renovations.

• Renovation projects that replace everything above the foundation must either apply 2-3.1.1 or 2-3.1.2 as applicable.

• All other renovations choose one of the following options:

1. Reduce measured building energy use by at least 30%, below FY 2003 energy use baseline.

2. Reduce measured building energy use by at least 20% below FY 2015 energy use baseline.

3. Reduce modeled energy use (from all sources including renewable energy) by 20% compared to the ASRHAE 90.1 baseline building design.

• If none of the reduction choices is life-cycle cost-effective, modify the design of the proposed building system(s) to achieve an energy consumption level at the highest level of energy efficiency that is life-cycle cost-effective.

2-3.1.4 Energy Efficient Products.

Per EISA 2007 Section 525, acquire products that are ENERGY STAR®-qualified or meet FEMP-designated efficiency requirements in all covered product categories.

CHAPTER 3 ASSESSMENT OF EXISTING BUILDINGS FOR HIGH PERFORMANCE

AND SUSTAINABLE BUILDING (HPSB) COMPLIANCE

3-1 OVERVIEW.

Use this chapter to assess the HPSB Guiding Principles compliance status of an existing building, and to assist in identifying opportunities to increase performance of the building until it reaches full compliance. This assessment can also be used to inform future design and construction activities in the building. Refer to Table 1-1 for requirements for compliance. HPSB reporting procedures are covered in Chapter 4, paragraph entitled, “Compliance Reporting”.

Some HPSB Guiding Principles can be addressed at the Installation, Component, or DOD Agency level, versus the building level (e.g., no smoking policy). For guidance refer to Chapter 4 paragraph entitled “Compliance Strategies for Aligning Energy and Water Investments with Sustainability”.

3-2 EMPLOY INTEGRATED ASSESSMENT, OPERATION, AND

MANAGEMENT PRINCIPLES.

• Assess existing condition and operational procedures of the building and major building systems, consideration of electric vehicle charging infrastructure, and consideration of appropriate energy resiliency measures, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, and identify areas for improvement.

• Establish operational performance goals for energy and water; product compliance goals for material use, recycling and indoor environmental quality; and ensure incorporation of these goals throughout the remaining life cycle of the building and establish verification process.

• Incorporate goals into building management to ensure that operating decisions and tenant education are carried out with regard to integrated building operations and maintenance.

• Engage building occupants with building environmental performance information. Augment building operations and maintenance as needed using occupant feedback on work space satisfaction.

3-2.2 Re-Commissioning and Retro-Commissioning.

In order to verify performance and ensure that the Government requirements are met, employ retro-commissioning and recommissioning, tailored to the size and complexity of the existing building and its system components. Recommissioning must be led by an experienced commissioning agent who should be independent of the facility operations team.

Meet the requirements of ASHRAE 189.1 Section 10.3.1.2 (Building Project Commissioning), with the following modifications:

• For buildings and systems that are less complex11, commissioning may be tailored as determined by the DOD Component AHJ12.

• “Schematic design” is the design charrette or similar conceptual design activity.

• Documentation as described in ASHRAE 55 Section 6.2 is not required.

3-3 OPTIMIZE ENERGY PERFORMANCE.
