MEMORANDUM FOR SEE DISTRIBUTION

JUl 3 1 2001

FROM: HQ USAF/ A7C

1260 Air Force Pentagon Washington, DC 20330-1260

SUBJECT: Air Force Sustainable Design and Development (SDD) Policy

1. This memorandum updates and expands existing policy (19 Dec 01 Sustainable Development Policy) and reinforces the importance of sustainable development concepts in the planning, design, construction, and operation of facilities and infrastructure. The goal of this policy memo is to: reduce the environmental impact and total ownership cost of facilities; improve energy efficiency and water conservation; and provide safe, healthy, and productive built environments. To this end, and consistent with the requirements of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct05) and Executive Order 13423, all Air Force construction projects, regardless of scope or funding source, shall endeavor to use the United States Green Building Council's (USGBC) Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating Systems as their self-assessment metric. The key to the success of this policy is setting sustainable development goals early in the planning, programming, and budgeting process and ensuring these goals are attained during design and construction.

2. Beginning in FY09, 100% of each MAJCOM's MILCON vertical construction projects, with climate control, shall be designed so that it is capable of achieving LEED Silver certification. This is not an option; sustainable features can not be eliminated to save scope or cut cost. To accomplish this goal, the Air Force will document SDD, EPAct05, and E013423 costs on the DD Form 1391, with a separate line item under primary facility costs identified as "SDD & EPAct05", beginning with the FY09 MILCON program. These costs will be programmed at no more than 2% of the primary facility cost unless specific detailed costs are determined. When the costs exceed 2%, an explanation will be provided in block 10 of the 1391.

3. For projects (horizontal, utility, and industrial) that do not fit the traditional definition of LEED, guidance has been provided to assist in determining credits appropriate to the project type for successful incorporation of policy (see attachments 2, 3, and 4 for specific details). All SRM projects shall consider incorporation of LEED principles where financially feasible.

4. Beginning in FY09, each MAJCOM shall select 5% (by project cost) of the total MILCON, per FY, for formal LEED registration and certification (the requirement increases and remains at 10% beginning in FYlO). Projects not selected for registration and certification must be evaluated by a LEED accredited professional and found to be compliant with this policy. In an effort to improve awareness and cross-feed, peer validation between MAJCOMs, Agents, and AFCEE is encouraged.

5. Status of the implementation of this policy shall be monitored and documented by a LEED accredited professional. At a minimum, this will occur at the programming/customer concept document, design charette, final design, and beneficial occupancy phases of all projects. Any decisions based on cost constraints leading to deletion of sustainable concepts, or certification of the project, shall be included in the documentation. The sustainable development implementation and validation process shall continue throughout the life of the facility. A pending ETL will outline the reporting requirements.

6. Host Nation, NATO-funded, and temporary facilities projects are not required to be capable of achieving LEED certification but should incorporate sustainable concepts to the maximum extent possible. These projects shall use a Host Nation equivalent, sustainable design green building rating system where it exists in lieu of LEED.

7. This policy letter encompasses and implements the sustainable development requirements of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 and the recommendations of the Federal Leadership in High Performance and Sustainable Buildings Memorandum of Understanding in the Air Force (see attachment 1 for specific details).

8. Specific roles and responsibilities in support of this policy are:

9. As new LEED rating systems are introduced by the USGBC, AFCEE and AFCESA will evaluate the potential for incorporation into the Air Force Construction Program and will forward recommendations to HQ USAF/ A7C for policy consideration. Commitment to the success of this policy is critical in ensuring the success of the Air Force mission. My POC for this program is Mr. Dale Olson, DSN 327-0120.
