This Manual supplements AFI 32-1024, Standard Facility Requirements. It provides guidance for determining space allocations for Air Force facilities and may be used to program new facilities or evaluate existing spaces. It provides facility space allowance guidance by category code (CATCODE). These criteria are used in assigning occupancy of existing facilities and in programming new facilities. This Manual is applicable to all active duty, civilian, Air Force

Reserve (AFR) personnel and units; particularly Air Force commanders and managers, who plan, program, review, certify, and approve Air Force facilities. Civil Air Patrol may adopt this guidance at the discretion of the applicable installation commander, per AFI 10-2701. This

Manual does not authorize the use of appropriated funds, nonappropriated funds, or private funds for the construction or conversion of facilities. Refer recommended changes and questions about this publication to the Office of Primary Responsibility (OPR) using the AF Form 847, Recommendation for Change of Publication; route AF Forms 847 from the field through appropriate functional chain of command. Ensure that all records created as a result of processes prescribed in this publication are maintained in accordance with AFMAN 33-363, Management of Records, and disposed of in accordance with the Air Force Records Disposition Schedule

SUMMARY OF CHANGES

This document has been substantially revised and must be completely reviewed. Revisions include incorporating the list of Offices of Primary Responsibility (OPR) previously found in

AFI 32-1024, Standard Facility Requirements within this document and updating office symbols. The Air Force Category Code designations have been replaced using the Real Property

Classification System (RPCS), and each facility-type is described using a new format. Where applicable, office spaces have been realigned with rank-based standards. Space management priorities have been cross-referenced with industry standards (e.g., OSCRE [Open Standards

Consortium for Real Estate] and BOMA [Building Owners and Managers Association]) for use in future Asset Management databases. The standard facility requirements for most Air Force missions have been updated, however, facility requirements for newer, unique or future weapon systems are unknown or under development at the time of this document’s publication and therefore not included in this revision. Contact the lead MAJCOM or OPR for standard facility requirements not contained in this Manual.

Chapter 1

OVERVIEW

1.1. Description. This Manual is a tool to assist commanders, their management and technical staff in programming the acquisition of facilities and in managing the inventory of real property facilities. This Manual also aids all base personnel in correctly identifying classes of real property and assigning correct category codes, ensuring that real property documentation is as accurate as possible.

1.2. Application. This Manual applies to Air Force Active and Reserve facilities. The Air Force

Reserve Command Handbook (AFRCH) 32-1001, Standard Facility Requirements, supplements space standards for Air Force Reserve facilities. The Air National Guard Handbook (ANGH) 32-

1084, ANG Standard Facility Requirements, defines space standards for Air National Guard facilities. This Manual takes precedence over Air Force design guides for developing space requirements for Air Force facilities.

1.2.1. This Manual contains guidance for the type, number, and size of facilities to support

Air Force and Air Force Reserve missions. The guidance contained in this Manual pertains to all Air Force facilities at military installations in the United States and, to the extent practicable, in other locations worldwide.

1.2.2. This guidance shall be used as a baseline in the planning and design of construction projects: new facilities in the military construction (MILCON) program; minor construction projects; nonappropriated fund (NAF) projects; Sustainment, Restoration, and Modernization

(SRM); and major alterations to existing facilities.

1.2.3. Application to Existing Facilities. This Manual shall also be used as a baseline in determining the appropriate allocation of space within existing facilities. The configuration of existing spaces may preclude the exact application of the space standards contained in this document, but space planning should adhere as closely to this guidance as possible. All available existing space must be considered in establishing a space deficiency and a justification for programming action.

1.2.4. Facilities Not Defined. Standard facility requirements have not been determined for some facility types. In those cases, project programming or space allocations must be accomplished based on requirements analysis, input from the facility type OPRs identified in

Attachment 2, Table A2.2 of this Manual, and justification through established project approval procedures. As requirements are established, they will be added to this Manual.

1.2.5. Adding New Facilities to and/or Updating the Manual. AFI 32-1024 addresses the procedures for adding new facilities and for updating facilities already included in this

Manual.

1.2.6. Approved Weapons Systems Requirements Plans. Unique facility requirements as approved in Weapons Systems Requirements Plans will be followed. Discrepancies between weapons systems criteria and this Manual should be resolved by the appropriate host command civil engineer (MAJCOM/A7).

10 AFMAN32-1084 20 APRIL 2012

1.3. Requirements.

1.3.1. Mandatory Requirements. Although there is considerable flexibility in most of the guidance provided in this Manual, those sections identified as based on law, applicable

Codes, Executive Orders, DoD Directives, Federal Regulations, Air Force Policy, and other governing standards must be treated accordingly and deviations must be approved by requests made through command channels.

1.3.2. General Requirements. Facility requirements are developed under a wide variety of procedures and techniques. While the steps involved will vary with the nature of the facility requirement, there are basic criteria to consider for all design projects. This Manual contains criteria which serve as guidance in the planning and programming of high quality facilities that are durable, functional, sustainable, economical, safe, aesthetically pleasing, and have reasonable operating and maintenance costs. Space requirements in this Manual apply to all building and construction alternatives including permanent construction, semi-permanent construction, temporary construction, mobilization construction, relocatable buildings, leases, and portable buildings.

1.4. Limitations.

1.4.1. Projects should not be approved or disapproved solely on the basis of this Manual.

Improvement of existing facilities for the sole purpose of meeting this Manual shall not be undertaken. Existing facilities or existing situations which meet current criteria (prior to implementation of this Manual) should remain unchanged. All new requirements, and particularly those which exceed this guidance, must be fully explained and justified where directed herein, and in accordance with other applicable DoD and Service programming/budget directives to ensure understanding by the reviewing officials.

1.4.2. Although this Manual may be used as a reference document for procurement activities such as contracting for professional design services and Green Procurement, it shall not be used as a reference document in military or federal specifications, for procurement of material, or in other similar procurement activities. Listing a facility in this Manual does not provide automatic justification for programming the facility or for including it on the base master plan.

1.5. How to Use the Manual.

1.5.1. General Guidance. This Manual provides general guidance for developing facility requirements. Its companion document, AFI 32-1024, Standard Facility Requirements, describes the facility requirement system, assigns responsibilities, and explains how new and revised guidance criteria are initiated and processed for publication. Both this document and

AFI 32-1024 emphasize the importance of anticipating mission requirements and taking timely actions to establish and revise guidance and criteria for facilities needed to fulfill mission objectives.

1.5.2. Organization. This Manual is organized into chapters by broad category of facility.

Within each chapter, each specific facility type is discussed in terms of general description, requirements determination, scope determination, dimensions, and design considerations.

Where appropriate, tables are included for various size alternatives based on different

AFMAN32-1084 20 APRIL 2012 11

weapon systems or different sized populations served. Technical details that might have significant impact on cost are included here, but technical guidance for design is not. Each facility type is organized by category code.

1.5.3. Facility Type Descriptions. For each type of facility, the Facility Analysis Category

(FAC), the Category Code (CATCODE), the office symbol of the Office of Primary

Responsibility (OPR), and the Office of Collateral Responsibility (OCR) are listed. For example:

Figure 1.1. Example Facility Type Description.

FAC: 1234

CATCODE: 123456

OPR: AF/A7CPA

OCR: MAJCOM/A7

1.1.1. Description. A general description of the facility type is provided in this section.

1.1.2. Requirements Determination. This section provides the basis for determining the functions of the facility and the major subcomponent spaces as they relate to the mission.

See paragraph 1.5.4.

1.1.3. Scope Determination. The scope section contains the data required to make the initial determination about the overall size of the facility.

1.1.4. Dimensions. This section contains information about any specific dimensions which must be included. Often this section makes reference to a design guide.

1.1.5. Design Considerations. The intent of this section is to point out any key cost drivers for the facility that would impact the programmed amount for new construction or renovation. It is not intended as a repository for the contents of a design guide.

1.5.4. Requirements Determination. Facility requirements are developed under a wide variety of procedures and techniques. Use this Manual only as one step in determining facility requirements. Requirement determination is a process that:

12 AFMAN32-1084 20 APRIL 2012

1.5.4.1. Establishes one OPR as the requesting organization for establishing the facility requirement.

1.5.4.2. Acquires a full understanding of the proposed facility functions by a) analyzing the relationship of the functions to mission objectives, operational concepts, or other programs, b) acquiring detailed information from experts on published material and functions, c) initiating special research and investigation into any aspect of functions requiring clarification, and d) observing, if possible, actual operations comparable to the operations in question.

1.5.4.3. Explores the possibility of combining or integrating the proposed facility requirements with other existing or proposed facility requirements.

1.5.4.4. Translates functional requirements into design and planning criteria by investigating factors such as a) the number of personnel and types of organizations using the facility; b) time, workload, and scheduling requirements; c) environmental control requirements; d) effects of climate, site location, and master plan requirements; e) major equipment or material requirements; f) hazardous considerations; g) costs including both initial costs and operating and maintenance costs (e.g., life-cycle costs); h) criteria used by other governmental or civilian organizations for comparable facilities; i) accessibility for persons with disabilities; and j) compliance with the most current Air Force

Sustainable Design and Development (SDD) and Antiterrorism/Force Protection (AT/FP) policies.

1.6. Facility Planning Considerations. The following is a partial list of considerations for facility planning as they impact space requirements, and ultimately cost. For more information on facility planning, refer to the Air Force Planner’s Handbook.

1.6.1. Design Quality. The Air Force is committed to excellence in the design and development of its sites and buildings. For the Air Force, this means an integrated approach that achieves the highest quality of aesthetics in meeting the requirements of the building’s users and accomplishing the mission, while at the same time delivering a building that is cost effective to maintain throughout its useful life.

1.6.2. Flexibility, Adaptability, and Expansion. Air Force buildings undergo many changes during their lifetime. As missions change and priorities change, Air Force departments are created, expanded, and abolished. As a consequence, requirements for space and services change frequently and space must be reconfigured often. The flexibility to accommodate continual change needs to be built in to the building design from the outset and respected in subsequent alterations.

1.6.3. Sustainability and Energy Performance. Refer to paragraph 1.8 of this chapter for environmental policies and practices, paragraph 1.14 for site planning considerations, and paragraph 1.15 for installation planning considerations.

1.6.4. Operations and Maintenance. Systems and materials should be selected on the basis of long-term operations and maintenance costs, as those costs will be significantly higher over time than first costs. The design of the facility operating systems should ensure ease and efficiency of operation and allow for cost effective maintenance and repair during the facility’s useful life.

AFMAN32-1084 20 APRIL 2012 13

1.6.5. Life-Cycle Costing (LCC). LCC is an important economic analysis used in the selection of alternatives that impact both pending and future costs. It compares initial investment options and identifies the least costly alternatives over a twenty year period. LCC is mandated by law and is defined in 10 CFR, Part 437, Federal Energy Management and

Planning Programs. The Air Force OPR for LCC is the Air Force Civil Engineer Support

Agency (AFCESA).

1.6.6. Historic Buildings. To the extent feasible, the Air Force seeks to achieve the rehabilitation of historic structures through repair, alterations, and additions while preserving those portions or features which convey its historical, cultural, or architectural values. The

Air Force OPR for Historical Buildings is the Air Force Center for Engineering and the

Environment (AFCEE)/Technical Support, Built Infrastructure Division (TDB).

1.6.7. Accessibility. Persons with disabilities are entitled to use many facilities on military installations. It is DoD and Air Force policy to make buildings accessible to persons with disabilities unless the building is to be used only by able-bodied military personnel.

Accessibility guidance has been clarified in an OSD policy letter dated October 31, 2008 adopting the Architectural Barriers Act of 1968, with amendments, as it applies to DoD facilities. The Air Force OPR for accessibility is AFCEE/TDB. A copy of the policy letter can be obtained through the AFCEE/TDB office or on their website at www.afcee.af.mil.

1.6.8. Telecommunications Infrastructure. A total integration of all building systems will provide for current operations as well as for future changes. A technology infrastructure should be planned in each building to accommodate power systems including normal;

emergency and uninterrupted power; mechanical systems and controls; fire detection and suppression systems; security systems; video and television systems; communications systems, including voice and data; lighting controls; plumbing services; and special utility services, such as gas or exhaust systems. The intent is not to provide infinite amounts of space for these systems, but to recognize their dimensional characteristics and the ability to service system components. The infrastructure must provide adequate spare capacity and integrate the utility entrance facilities, equipment rooms, backbone pathways, horizontal distribution pathways, and workstation outlets for each system. In part, floor-to-floor heights are determined by the depth of space required for the technology infrastructure, including structural, mechanical, electrical, and communications systems. Size telecommunications closets per Telecommunications Industry Association/Electronics Industries Alliance

(TIA/EIA) 569-A-5, Commercial Building Standards for Telecommunications Pathways and

Spaces, Table 7.2-1. Also see UFC 3-580-01, Telecommunications Building Cabling Systems

Planning and Design.

1.6.9. Security/Facility Hardening/Antiterrorism/Force Protection. Designing and constructing safe and secure cost effective buildings has always been one of the Air Force’s primary goals. Each building system and element should support risk mitigation and reduce casualties, property damage, and the loss of critical functions. Designs should include the ability to increase security in response to a heightened threat, as well as reduce security if changes in risk warrant it. Space for facilities requiring additional hardening and antiterrorism measures are captured in the Net-to-Gross multiplier (see paragraph 1.10.3).

Consult UFC 3-340-01, Design and Analysis of Hardened Structures to Conventional

Weapons Effects for facility hardening space requirements, and UFC 4-010-01, DoD http://www.afcee.af.mil/

14 AFMAN32-1084 20 APRIL 2012

Minimum Antiterrorism Standards for Buildings and UFC 4-010-02, DoD Minimum Standoff

Distances for Buildings for antiterrorism space requirements.

1.6.10. Fire Protection Space. Space for fire protection is captured in the Net-to-Gross multiplier (see paragraph 1.10.3). Complete automatic sprinkler protection must be provided in all new and renovated DOD facilities. All new and renovated facilities must comply with the requirements of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 101, Life

Safety Code. See UFC 3-600-01, Fire Protection Engineering for Facilities.

1.7. National Codes and Standards. The Air Force requires that each building constructed or altered by the Air Force shall, to the maximum extent feasible, be in compliance with nationally recognized model building codes and with other state and local codes. The technical requirements of these nationally recognized codes will supplement other Air Force requirements mandated by federal laws and executive orders, as well as other criteria noted within this document that has been established to meet mission needs and their unique requirements. Refer to UFC 1-200-01, General Building Requirements.

1.8. Environmental Policies and Practices. The Air Force is committed to incorporating principles of sustainable design and energy efficiency into all of its building projects. Sustainable design seeks to locate, design, construct, and operate buildings to reduce negative impact on the environment and the consumption of natural resources. Sustainable design improves building performance while keeping in mind the health and comfort of building occupants. It is an integrated, synergistic approach, in which all phases of the facility lifecycle are considered. The result is an optimal balance of cost, environmental, societal, and human benefits while meeting the mission and function of the intended facility or infrastructure.

1.8.1. Requirements. Refer to SDD Guidance available through AFCEE/TDB and UFC 4-

030-01, Sustainable Development for the most current policies and regulations.

1.8.2. Sustainable Development Defined. Sustainable Development means to plan, program, site, design, construct, renovate, operate, maintain, deconstruct, and remove facilities in ways that efficiently use energy, water, and materials; improve and protect built and natural environments; and provide long-term benefits for occupant health, productivity, and comfort. Sustainable Development is also known by such terms as ―green‖, ―high performance‖, or ―environmentally friendly.‖

1.8.3. Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Certification. Current

Air Force SDD policy supports the principles of LEED and requires all new MILCON projects be designed and built to achieve LEED Silver, with a percentage set aside for actual

LEED Certification. LEED is a third-party certification program developed by the United

States Green Building Council (USGBC) and is a nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction, and operation of high performance green buildings. LEED focuses on sustainable sites, water efficiency, energy and atmosphere, materials and resources, and indoor environmental quality. See the latest Air Force SDD policy for current guidance.

1.8.4. Protect and Conserve Water. Current executive orders as well as the Energy

Independence and Security Act require agencies to reduce water consumption. Each Air

Force facility shall base water management plans for new MILCON projects on FEMP guidance. Among these, the key strategies are reducing potable water consumption and minimizing the impact of wastewater systems.

AFMAN32-1084 20 APRIL 2012 15

1.8.5. Compliance with the National Environmental Protection Agency (NEPA). NEPA is a prime driver in the Air Force planning process and is formalized in the Environmental

Impact Analysis Process (EIAP). NEPA requires federal agencies to address environmental values in their decision-making processes by considering the environmental impacts of their proposed actions and weighing reasonable alternatives to those actions. To comply with this requirement, the Air Force must prepare an Environmental Assessment (EA) or

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for projects that may have significant effects on the environment. Responsibilities are outlined in AFI 32-1024, para. 2.4.

1.8.6. Exceptions. The application of some United States (US) or Continental United States

(CONUS) environmental policies is not applicable in all situations. In such instances, consult the Overseas Environmental Baseline Guidance Document and Final Governing Standards

(OEBGD/FGS) for guidance in overseas locations not covered by US or CONUS environmental policies.

1.9. Definitions.

1.9.1. Net Organizational Space. Net Organizational Space is a term defined as space used by occupying organizations in a facility that includes office spaces, administrative support areas, organizational special purpose spaces, and accompanying circulation space. Structural elements, openings for vertical cables, and vertical penetrations built for private use of the organization for new facilities are captured in the multipliers, and included in the measurement for existing buildings.

1.9.2. Special Purpose Space. Special Purpose Space is defined as space which may be required to meet specific or special organizational functional needs. Special Purpose Space in

Administrative Facilities/Areas is described in Chapter 6.

1.9.3. Net Building Area. The Net Building Area is the total of all Net Organizational

Spaces plus all the shared Special Purpose Spaces used by all organizations.

1.9.4. Usable vs. Net. For the purposes of this Manual, these terms are often used interchangeably and should not be confused to mean separate space definitions. Net

Organizational Space for one organization is the same thing as the Total Usable Space for that organization.

1.9.5. Major Vertical Penetrations. Major vertical penetrations include stairs, elevator shafts, flues, pipe shafts, vertical ducts, and the like. Also included are atria, lightwells, and similar penetrations above the finished floor. Structural columns, openings for vertical electrical cable or telephone distribution, and openings for plumbing lines are not considered major vertical penetrations.

1.9.6. Common Areas. Common areas are those areas that are available to all occupants

(organizations) such as washrooms, janitorial closets, electrical rooms, telephone rooms, mechanical rooms, elevator lobbies, and public corridors. This will vary based on the configuration of each floor. Common areas are used to figure both Usable and Rentable

Space. BOMA refers to this as Core Building Services.

1.9.7. Gross Building Area. Gross building area, or constructed area, is the total constructed area of a building. It is measured to the outside finished surface of permanent

16 AFMAN32-1084 20 APRIL 2012

outer building walls, without any deductions. Non-enclosed roof areas are counted at 0.5 (See

Table 1.2).

1.9.7.1. Calculate the following spaces as full area: basements, above grade floors, mezzanines; service and equipment rooms; boiler plant and heater rooms; penthouses;

enclosed passages, walks, porches, balconies, stairs and loading facilities; and raised and covered loading platforms.

1.9.7.2. Calculate the following spaces as half area: covered (but not enclosed) walkways, ramps, porches and balconies; covered and uncovered open stairs; uncovered raised loading platforms; covered ground level and covered/uncovered below grade loading facilities.

1.9.7.3. Exclude the following spaces: roof overhangs, utility tunnels, exterior uncovered walks, ramps, and paved terraces; and enclosed crawl and utility spaces with an average ceiling height of less than 2.1 m (7 ft) that are not considered half scope.

1.9.8. Rentable Space. Rentable Space is typically a figure used to assess a tenant’s space charges. For simplified programming purposes, Rentable Space is figured by adding 5% to the Net Building Space, or total Usable Space. For definitive measurement, it includes

Usable Space in addition to a prorated share of common and circulation areas. Rentable

Space does not include major vertical penetrations and exterior walls. See BOMA Z65.1 for measurement guidance for Rentable Space. NOTE: The Air Force in 2009 adopted the

BOMA net usable square feet (NUSF) protocol for all space designed and built under the

'610' classification. This NUSF is now required on all drawings and records and is being retroactively calculated for all CONUS facilities with administrative space.

1.10. Space Allowances and Multipliers.

1.10.1. General. Space allowances for some of the facilities mentioned in this Manual are established by DoD. For all other facilities, the sizes and scopes are guidance and may be exceeded as detailed below:

1.10.1.1. Exceeding Allowances. AFI 32-9002, Use of Real Property Facilities, provides guidance to the MAJCOMs on exceeding allowances. When the Air Force Civil

Engineer (AF/A7C) approval is required per the 32-series policy directives, the approval request must fully explain and document the need to exceed published allowances. When the projects or actions do not require AF/A7C approval, increases beyond the scopes shown may be made when approved by the MAJCOM Civil Engineer.

1.10.2. Circulation Multipliers. Although typically used in administration buildings, other facilities may also require additional space for circulation. A multiplier of up to 10% may be added to authorized net Facility Specific Special Purpose Spaces for circulation (see Table

1.1). For programming administrative facilities/areas, see Chapter 6.

1.10.3. Net-to-Gross Multiplier. Regardless of facility type, the initial programming of a facility involves adding the sum of required net space and converting it to a gross area for the purposes of estimating project cost. A maximum Net-to-Gross multiplier of 25% should be added to Net Building Area to reach the gross building area. This ―Net-to-Gross multiplier‖ captures the following space: sustainability features, mechanical and electrical space, anti-terrorism/force protection, fire protection, circulation, and unusual construction. Overages in

AFMAN32-1084 20 APRIL 2012 17

allowable Gross Building Area Totals that occur due to additional space needed for one or more of those captured in the Net-to-Gross multiplier shall be justified on DD Form 1391, FY____ Military Construction Project Data.

1.11. Space Programming. Programming is the research and decision-making process that identifies the scope of work to be designed. The programming of space for renovation or a new facility uses the space allocations in this Manual and specific guidance from applicable OPRs, where necessary, along with various multipliers (defined above) to determine the Gross Building

Area. The Gross Building Area may then be used as an aid in establishing budgets and overall pricing. See UFC 3-701-09, DoD Facilities Pricing Guide.

1.11.1. Space Programming for Administration Facilities. Programming guidance for administration facilities is covered in Chapter 6 and UFC 4-610-01 Administration

Facilities.

1.11.2. Space Programming for Facilities other than Administration. Table 1.1 is provided to aid in programming a new facility or to renovate existing construction for a facility whose primary purpose is other than administration. It is meant as a guide and may not be all inclusive. The programmer should research other approved tools that may exist for space planning.

1.11.2.1. Non-administrative facilities may include office, special purpose, and assembly spaces. See Chapter 6 of this Manual for allowances on these spaces.

1.12. Space Management. The Air Force has adopted industry standard models for the purposes of measuring and managing space. Although the programmer may not be required to use these models when programming a new facility, he or she may be required to use these standards when documenting existing space for potential renovation or for accurately documenting existing space for inclusion in the Air Force real property inventory.

1.12.1. Measurement. To ensure an accurate, consistent inventory of Air Force space, the methods and standards by which those spaces are measured must be consistent. For this purpose, the Air Force has adopted the BOMA Z65.1 standard for measurement of new and existing space. The BOMA standard is a method by which space is measured and tabulated.

It includes definitions such as Gross Building Area, Rentable Area, and Usable Area. It also contains detailed instructions on how to perform the actual measurements for various building types. The OPR for BOMA is AFCEE/TDB.

1.12.2. Classification. To ensure an accurate, consistent inventory of Air Force space, the methods and standards by which those spaces are classified must be consistent. For this purpose, the Air Force has adopted the OSCRE (Open Standards Consortium for Real Estate) standard for classifying and managing its inventory of new and existing space. Classification of space is normally used to determine, and ultimately categorize, available space in an existing facility. It may also be done after programming a new facility, or when renovating an existing one, for the purposes of adding that new space to the total inventory. The OPR for

OSCRE is AFCEE/TDB.

1.12.3. BOMA/OSCRE Relationship. The BOMA and OSCRE standards are interdependent. Simply put, BOMA measures the space that OSCRE classifies into detailed, manageable ―Levels.‖ The OSCRE levels start with general space types and become more specific. Refer to Table 1.2 for an example.

1.13. Determining Space Requirements.

1.13.1. Space Requirements based on Military Strength. Unless otherwise noted, the space requirements shown throughout this Manual are based upon the documented projected military strength or the base population of the installation at the anticipated time of project completion or beyond. Short duration spikes in military strength or base population should not be used as the basis for justifying larger facilities than is reasonable for the long-term, steady-state population.

1.13.1.1. Military Strength includes permanent party, supporting agencies, and transients as described below. Military strength in this usage applies to those who are to be served by the facility, which may include personnel of other Services.

1.13.1.1.1. When the installation regularly serves a substantial number of military transients (such as technicians, trainees, or students), the average daily strength, based on a firm projection of the total yearly load of such transients, may be added to the projected military strength of the installation.

1.13.1.1.2. Judgment is called for in instances where transients impact the facility size; transient population should not be used simply to justify more space than is reasonable.

1.13.1.1.3. When the transient load is clearly seasonal rather than continuous year round, the average daily strength will be based on a firm projection of the total seasonal load.

1.13.1.2. When a number of installations or concentrations of military personnel are located close to one another, such as in a metropolitan area, the total number of facilities provided in the area will be related to, and governed by, the aggregate military strength in that area.

1.13.2. Space Requirements based on Base Population. Base populations as they apply to some of the facilities in this Manual are varied and complex. Facilities that depend on base populations for space allocation will need to be determined on a case by case basis.

1.14. Site Planning Considerations.

1.14.1. Site Analysis. A complete site survey is required for all new construction projects and for alterations that involve work outside the existing building lines.

20 AFMAN32-1084 20 APRIL 2012

1.14.1.1. All construction projects on air bases shall refer to UFC 3-260-01, Airfield and

Heliport Planning and Design, and Title 14 CFR Part 77, Objects affecting the Navigable

Airspace, to determine design requirements, height limitations, and permit/approval requirements. UFC 3-260-1 must be used for describing and projecting potential violations of imaginary surfaces.

1.14.1.2. To address aircraft safety (BASH, visual obscurants and noise issues related to land development around airfields), the Air Force developed the AICUZ program. The purpose of the AICUZ program is to promote land use and development patterns, both on and off base, that are compatible with airfield operations. Refer to AFI 32-7063, Air

Installation Compatible Use Zone Program; AFH 32-7084, AICUZ Program Manager’s

Guide; Title 14 CFR Part 77, Objects Affecting the Navigable Airspace; and AFPAM 91-

212, Bird/Wildlife Aircraft Strike Hazard (BASH) Management Techniques.

1.14.2. Existing site Features and Vegetation. Existing natural features on the site should generally be preserved and used as a starting point for the overall site design. Efforts should be made to preserve existing vegetation, particularly healthy trees and plant specimens. The

Air Force promotes the protection and integration of existing vegetation and natural terrain into site design. See UFC 3-201-02, Landscape Architecture.

1.14.3. Optimize Energy Use. Current executive orders as well as the Energy

Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA2007) require agencies to install cost-effective energy conservation measures in their facilities. The key strategies are conserving energy, encouraging the use of non-grid source energy, and protecting the atmosphere.

1.14.4. Energy Conservation. The use of site design to aid energy conservation and sustainability is encouraged. Solar orientation of the building and well-placed plant material can be used to increase heat gain in the winter and reduce heat gain during the summer.

1.14.5. Sustainable Site Planning. The Air Force promotes practices that are environmentally beneficial and conserve resources. Design and construction strategies should reduce stormwater runoff and polluted site water runoff. To the maximum extent feasible, all

Air Force MILCON projects shall incorporate the features of Low Impact Development

(LID). Refer to UFC 3-210-10, Low Impact Development.

1.14.6. Utilities. Consideration should be given to the size and placement of major utilities that will be inside, attached to, or near (on-site) any Air Force MILCON projects.

1.14.7. Site Security. Air Force facilities must be safe and secure, yet still be accessible, welcoming, and effective workplaces. Security countermeasures shall be customized in each case, based on established principles, criteria, risk analysis, and site conditions. Refer to

UFC 4-010-01.

1.14.8. Site Circulation. Site circulation design for Air Force projects will vary greatly depending on the context, which can range from tight urban sites to suburban campuses or isolated rural settings. However, the basic criteria remain the same in all situations: Site design should consider pedestrian access, vehicular access (including parking), fire apparatus access, and service vehicle access. See also UFC 3-210-02, POV Site Circulation and

Parking.
