INTRODUCTION

1.1 INTENDED USERS

Improving the visual environment at Peterson AFB will require a consistent, determined approach, creative problem solving and quality design. Two essential ingredients for success are concerned and enlightened clients, and sensitive, responsible design professionals. The multiple users of these guidelines will range from independent architects and engineers to Air Force, military, and civilian personnel, including facility managers, responsible for planning, design, and maintenance activities at Peterson AFB. This document is intended to respond to the diversity of backgrounds and different areas of focus of base personnel and design professionals who will mutually implement the Facilities Excellence Plan (FEP).

1.2 INSTRUCTIONS FOR USER

There is a critical sequence of tasks, or decisions, to be made, when the Facilities Excellence Plan (FEP) is being used for developing or evaluating design work. This series of tasks is summarized in the following:

TASK ONE - Read and understand all of Background Information in the FEP. Establish the location of the project to determine into which character area it should be placed. The determination of an appropriate character area is especially important for building design projects. However, this issue should not be ignored for landscape and site elements design projects.

TASK TWO - Review the assets and liabilities contained in the Character Area section for the chosen character area, and develop a thorough understanding of the positive and negative aspects of past improvements within the character area.

TASK THREE - Develop conceptual design responses which are appropriate for the project, and which will visually enhance the stated objectives of the chosen character area. Check all applicable guidelines throughout the Character Area section and review all the applicable Design Guidelines that are required.

TASK FOUR - Review the extent to which the individual project/design contributes to accomplishment of the objectives and desired image for both the character area and the base as a whole.

TASK FIVE - Establish whether or not the basic principles, general concepts, and design guidelines have been followed to the maximum extent possible.

TASK SIX - Review the specific design guidelines which are applicable to the project, and document compliance of the proposed improvements, using the Project Review Checklist from. Projects which do not comply with FEP requirements must be revised to bring them into compliance.

TASK SEVEN - Compare the project to the applicable Concept Landscape Design to determine if the final visual results follow the intent demonstrated.

Peterson Air Force Base | Facilities Excellence Plan Introduction

TASK EIGHT - Rigorous control should be maintained on the project, both during design and during construction.

Questions and interpretations which are delivered during the construction phase of the project must stay in compliance with the FEP intent.

TASK NINE – Review and rate each project using the most current Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEEDTM ) rating system and sustainable requirements from the most current Unified Facility Criteria (UFC) for 1-200- 02 for High Performance and Sustainable Buildings. A LEEDTM Score Card and rating sheet shall be submitted for all major projects.
