High Performance and Sustainable Building Checklist.pdf

This is a NAVFAC High Performance and Sustainable Building Checklist – Goals form used to document sustainable design compliance for federal construction projects. The form tracks sustainability performance across multiple guiding principles for building design and construction.

The project involves one building (NUWC P084) classified as an existing building renovation with additions exceeding 10,000 GSF and a cost greater than $3 million, with an estimated replacement cost (ERC) meeting the 50% threshold. The work is in the Design Start/PDA phase under Fiscal Year 26, managed by NAVFAC Project Manager Peichi Bennett for Colby Company Engineering as the AE Firm Sustainability Coordinator. The project design level is 100% complete. The form documents compliance across six major sustainability categories: (I) Employ Integrated Design Principles (marked as compliant), (II) Optimize Energy Performance (including ASHRAE 90.1-2019 standard compliance and energy metering requirements), (III) Protect and Conserve Water (indoor/outdoor water efficiency and stormwater management), (IV) Enhance Indoor Environmental Quality (ventilation, thermal comfort, daylighting, lighting controls, indoor air quality, and occupant health), (V) Reduce Environmental Impact of Materials (recycled content and biobased content requirements, waste management with a 60% diversion target), and (VI) Assess and Consider Climate Change Risks. The building is pursuing third-party certification under USGBC "Guiding Principles Assessment" standards. Specific performance metrics to be documented include energy savings percentage below baseline, water use intensity, renewable energy percentages, and waste diversion rates.
