Concepts of Sustainability

• The natural world is finite nature is limited
  in its ability to support life.
• Humans interact with and depend on the natural
  world.
• Human activity should be in sync with the
  carrying capacity of the natural world.
• Humans should have a responsibility to uphold the
  health of the natural world

3
Practical Importance of Sustainability

• Global warming/ozone depletion
• Habitat destruction and impacts on biodiversity
• Air, water, soil pollution / depletion
• Insecurity of dependence on foreign oil and other
  scarce resources
• Increasing impact of the developing world

Why Sustainable Design?

• Buildings consume 30-40 of our total energy and
  60 of our electricity
• About ¼ of the increase in CO2 in the atmosphere
  is due to buildings
• Buildings consume 40 of raw stone, gravel and
  sand 25 of virgin wood
• Construction creates 2-2.5 pounds of solid waste
  per square foot 30-35 of landfill space is
  building-generated waste

6
Why Sustainable Design?

• Sustainable design makes environmental sense and
  business sense
• Reduce environmental impact
• Reduce operating costs
• Reduce some first costs
• Improve employee productivity
• Enhance employee health and safety
• Enhances our homeland energy security

Why Sustainable Design?

• Capital begets more capital.
• Pressures on business and government
• Restore natural capital
• Sustain natural capital
• Expand natural capital
• Costs of deteriorating ecosystems rise
• Environmental awareness of consumers increasing

Why Sustainable Design?

• Fundamental changes in both construction design
  and technology
• Stretch natural resources much further than they
  do today
• Savings in operational costs, capital investment,
  and time to finance efficiency strategies
• Enhance environmental performance
• Enhance building performance
• Enhance employee productivity

10
Integrated Approach of Sustainable Design
Whole Building Perspective

• All stakeholders partner to set performance goals
• Continuous collaboration through planning,
  design, construction, occupancy
• Enhance integration so that performance of the
  whole is greater than the sum of the parts.

NAVFACSustainable Development

• Initiated in 1993 ASN Desire to be more
  Environmentally Responsible
• Extensive Industry Involvement and Cooperation
• Field-Based Workshops Started in 1995
• Pilot Project Program Started in 1995
• Revolutionary Changes in NAVFACs Policies,
  Criteria and Procurement Practices - 18 June
  1998
• Policy on Design
• Policy on Criteria
• Policy on Procurement of A-E Services
  Design-Build

15
NAVFACSustainable Development

• Conclusions Drawn from Pilot Projects and
  Numerous other Industry Sources
• Significant energy savings can be realized
  through application of sustainable design
  principles on an Integrated Design basis
• These can occur without increasing in first cost
• Significant reductions in life-cycle cost can
  occur
• A significant number of additional greening
  initiatives can also be accommodated

16
NAVFACSustainable Development

• Design Policy
• Comprehensive Definition
• Applicable to All Projects
• No Increase in First Cost of Projects
• No Increase in Design Costs
• Key is Integrated Design
• Criteria Policy
• Guidance, Not Absolutes
• Industry-Based
• A-E Selection/Procurement Policy
• All selections based on knowledge and
  demonstrated experience in applying
  sustainability concepts and principles to
  facilities and infrastructure problems through an
  integrated design approach.

17
NAVFACSustainable Development Policy

• PDPS 98-01, Sustainable Design
• Incorporate sustainability principles in all
  projects
• PDPS 98-02, Sustainable Criteria
• Utilize industry-recognized standards, codes,
  criteria and other guidance in support of
  sustainable design
• PDPS 98-03, Sustainable Contracting of A-E
  Services
• Select A-Es with sustainability knowledge and
  experience

CNO Concerns N0. 1 MANPOWER

• Navys Biggest Challenge
• Retaining Sailors
• Attacking Attrition
• At War for People Teach every Leader to never
  underestimate the impact they have on our
  sailors, especially the junior ones, enlisted and
  officers.

19
CNO Concerns N0. 4 QUALITY OF SERVICE

• A balance between Quality of Life (QOL) and
  Quality of Work (QOW)
• QOL greatly improved, not the case for QOW
• QOW includes ...everything that makes the
  workplace a great place to be working spaces
  that are up to standard
• Real Property Maintenance for too long has been
  the bill payer - to the detriment of
  infrastructure
• My assessment We must do better and I am
  committed to do so.

OPNAVINST 11000.16B

• Chapter 1 - Sustainability in final form
• 1- Siting Optimize Site Potential
• 2- Energy Minimize Non-renewable Energy
  Consumption
• 3- Materials Use Environmentally Preferable
  Products
• 4- Water Protect and Conserve Water
• 5- Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ)
• 6- Operations and Maintenance
• Awaiting CNO Final Signature
• NAVFAC Instruction being drafted

NAVFACSustainable Development

• Project Delivery Methods for Implementing
  Sustainable Design
• Design-Bid-Build -- Facilitates selection
  uniquely based on Green qualifications as
  matched against specific project requirements
  allows more intense customer focus on
  sustainability issue up front
• Design-Build -- Reduces critical dependence on
  A-E selection allows for evaluation of different
  solutions (two phase/best value) better
  accommodates new materials and technologies
