Heating and air conditioning will be provided by two (2) self-contained systems. One system for the Secure Working Area and a separate system for the Team Room Vault. Facilities will be designed to a minimum life of 40 years in accordance with DoD's Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC 1-200-02) including energy efficiencies, building envelope and integrated building systems performance.
