About this file
This is a Unified Facilities Guide Specification (UFGS) document for sustainability requirements and reporting in federal building construction and renovation projects. The specification is issued by USACE/NAVFAC/AFCEC and establishes mandatory sustainability documentation and compliance procedures aligned with UFC 1-200-02 High Performance and Sustainable Building Requirements.
The specification applies to new buildings or stand-alone additions greater than or equal to 25,000 GSF with construction costs exceeding $3 million, and comprehensive replacements in existing buildings of similar size with total costs greater than $3 million and 50 percent or more Estimated Replacement Cost. Contractors and design teams must complete High Performance Sustainable Building (HPSB) Checklists documenting compliance with Guiding Principles requirements including integrated design processes, energy optimization, renewable energy generation, water management, indoor air quality, daylighting, moisture control, low-emitting materials, waste management, and recycled content. The specification requires submission of Sustainability Action Plans, Sustainability eNotebooks in PDF format with bookmarked documentation, and design/construction submittal packages demonstrating compliance with each requirement. For projects exceeding thresholds, Third-Party Certification (TPC) through systems such as LEED BD+C, GBCI Guiding Principles Assessment, or GBI Green Globes is mandatory, with the contractor bearing all associated costs. Detailed VOC emission requirements for materials including adhesives, sealants, paints, coatings, insulation, and composite wood are specified in Table 3-1 with reference to CDPH/EHLB standards and Green Seal certifications. The specification includes tailoring options for Army, Navy, and Air Force projects and accommodates both Design-Build and Design-Bid-Build delivery methods with corresponding submittal schedules and coordination requirements.

SUSTAINABILITY REQUIREMENTS AND REPORTING
02/21, CHG 1: 08/25
NOTE: This guide specification covers the requirements for providing sustainability documentation for Guiding Principles Validation (GPV) and Third-Party Certification (TPC). GPV is equivalent to meeting the requirements of UFC
1-200-02 "HIGH PERFORMANCE AND SUSTAINABLE BUILDING
REQUIREMENTS." All projects must meet the requirements of UFC 1-200-02.
For building scopes that do not meet the minimum requirements or thresholds as cited by UFC 1-200-02 Table 1-1, ensure the project delivery team completes the initial High Performance and Sustainable Building (HPSB) Checklist for each building in the project, to determine the crosswalk of scope items with criteria in the UFC.
Specifications are chosen by the project delivery team. UFGS 01 33 29 is not required for all projects, based on UFC 1-200-02 thresholds, but can be utilized, based on the project team's consideration.
This guide specification includes tailoring for both DESIGN-BUILD and DESIGN-BID-BUILD.
This guide specification includes tailoring for ARMY. Deselect the ARMY tailoring option for Navy projects. Air Force projects must use tailoring for the Service that is executing the project and choose bracketed options per Editor's Notes.
Use a properly edited version of this guide specification for projects that contain one or more buildings that meet one of the following:
a) For Army and Navy, new buildings or stand-alone additions greater than or equal to 25,000 GSF (2323
SECTION 01 33 29 Page 3
GSM); for Air Force, all new buildings or stand-alone additions.
b) Comprehensive replacement in an existing building that is greater than or equal to 25,000 GSF (2323 GSM), with total cost (includes new work, renovation, operations and maintenance, sustainment, restoration, and modernization associated with and existing building renovation) greater than $4M and 50-percent or more Estimated Replacement Cost (ERC).
Use the HPSB Checklist for the Service who will maintain the building asset in their Real Property Record. Complete an HPSB Checklist for each applicable building in the project, before attaching to this specification. Checklist(s) must be completely filled out before being used in a solicitation. Check with the user Command for additional requirements. Each Component’s HPSB Checklist may be found at:
www.wbdg.org/dod/sustainability/tracking-reporting
(Where Internet address appears on multiple lines, copy full address into Internet browser.)
Adhere to UFS 1-300-02 Unified Facilities Guide Specifications (UFGS) Format Standard when editing this guide specification or preparing new project specification sections. Edit this guide specification for project specific requirements by adding, deleting, or revising text. For bracketed items, choose applicable item(s) or insert appropriate information.
Remove information and requirements not required in respective project, whether or not brackets are present.
Comments, suggestions and recommended changes for this guide specification are welcome and should be submitted as a Criteria Change Request (CCR) .

1.2 SUMMARY
This section includes requirements for Sustainability documentation and reporting submittals per the federally mandated High Performance and Sustainable Building (HPSB) or HPSB "Guiding Principles" (GP),[ and Third-Party Certification (TPC) requirements,] in accordance with UFC 1-200-02 High Performance and Sustainable Building Requirements, and other identified requirements.
1.3 SUBMITTALS
NOTE: Review Submittal Description (SD) definitions in Section 01 33 00 SUBMITTAL PROCEDURES and edit the following list, and corresponding submittal items in the text, to reflect only the submittals required for the project. The Guide Specification technical editors have classified those items that require Government approval, due to their complexity or criticality, with a "G." Generally, other submittal items can be reviewed by the Contractor's Quality Control System. Only add a "G" to an item if the submittal is sufficiently important or complex in context of the project.
For Army projects, fill in the empty brackets following the "G" classification, with a code of up to three characters to indicate the approving authority. Codes for Army projects using the Resident Management System (RMS) are: "AE" for Architect-Engineer; "DO" for District Office (Engineering Division or other organization in the District Office); "AO" for Area Office; "RO" for Resident Office; and "PO" for Project Office. Codes following the "G" typically are not used for Navy and Air Force projects.
SECTION 01 33 29 Page 6
The "S" classification indicates submittals required as proof of compliance for sustainability Guiding Principles Validation or Third-Party Certification and as described in Section 01 33 00 SUBMITTAL
PROCEDURES.
NOTE: Sustainability requirements have been identified in many of the technical performance sections. Include additional sustainability requirements throughout the technical specification sections according to goals of this project.
Identify products and other submittals required for Guiding Principle Validation (GPV) and Third-Party Certification (TPC) where applicable, with an "S" next to the submittal item. Use the following format to add submittal items in the technical sections to comply with the requirements of this section:
<ITM><SUB>Insert Submittal Item</SUB>;
<SUB>S</SUB></ITM>
Make corresponding edits in technical sections' Part 1, Part 2 Products or in Part 3 Execution to differentiate those pieces of equipment, products, or activities related to GPV and TPC.
NOTE: Choose the following bracketed paragraph for all projects except Navy DESIGN-BUILD.
Choose the first bracketed item for all DESIGN-BID-BUILD projects. Choose the second bracketed item for Navy DESIGN-BUILD only.
[ Government approval is required for submittals with a "G" or "S" classification. Submittals not having a "G" or "S" classification are for Contractor Quality Control approval. Submittals not having a "G" or "S" classification are for information only. When used, a code following the "G" classification identifies the office that will review the submittal for the Government. Submit the following in accordance with [Section 01 33 00 SUBMITTAL PROCEDURES][Section 01 33 00.05 20 CONSTRUCTION SUBMITTAL PROCEDURES and Section 01 33 10.05.20 DESIGN SUBMITTAL
PROCEDURES]:
NOTE: For Air Force only: For every Air Force DESIGN-BUILD project, keep all bracketed SD-01, SD-05, and SD-11 submittals. For every Air Force DESIGN-BID-BUILD project, keep all SD-01 and SD-11 submittals
Add other Checklist and Sustainability eNotebook submittals to match the number of design
