NAVFAC IMPLEMENTATION OF SUSTAINABLE DESIGN

• NAVFAC Policy Statement . . .
• It is the policy of the Naval Facilities
  Engineering Command to incorporate sustainability
  principles and concepts in the design of all
  facilities and infrastructure projects to the
  fullest extent possible, consistent with budget
  constraints and customer requirements.
• It is further the policy of NAVFAC to seek to do
  this with no increase in first cost.

NAVFAC IMPLEMENTATION OF SUSTAINABLE DESIGN

• NAVFAC Policy Statement (Cont.) . . .
• NAVFAC has adopted the U.S. Green Building
  Councils Leadership in Energy and Environmental
  Design (LEED) Rating System as a tool to apply
  sustainable principles and as a metric to measure
  the sustainability achieved through the planning,
  design and construction process.
• At a minimum, all new and major renovation
  projects shall strive to meet the Certified
  level, unless not applicable.

4
PACDIV IMPLEMENTATION OF SUSTAINABLE DESIGN

• A-E Synopses and Solicitations for Design/Build
  contracts will include selection/evaluation
  criteria
• Knowledge and demonstrated experience in
  applying sustainability concepts and principles
  to facilities and infrastructure problems through
  an integrated design approach.

5
PACDIV IMPLEMENTATION OF SUSTAINABLE DESIGN

• Complete a U.S. Green Building Councils
  Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design
  (LEED) Green Building Rating System checklist and
  related documentation.
• For all projects valued over 5 million, complete
  a case history, in addition to the LEED
  checklist, detailing the sustainable design
  features included in the project design.

SUSTAINABLE FEATURES

• Building Siting/Landscape
• Building oriented to minimize solar heat gain
• Building parking area oriented and finish
  elevations set to minimize earthwork
• Maximize use of native and other salt, wind
  drought tolerant species
• Impervious surfaces minimized to lower heat gain
  and enhance percolation of rainwater
• Retention basin incorporated into the landscape
  to retain excess rainwater and allow percolation

9
SUSTAINABLE FEATURES

• Energy Efficiency
• Solar water heaters
• Building management controls utilize a direct
  digital control (DDC) electronic system
• HVAC system uses non-CFC refrigerant, low
  face-velocity coils and filters, and a
  variable-air-volume distribution system
• HVAC system with high-efficiency motors with
  variable-speed drives

10
SUSTAINABLE FEATURES

• Energy Efficiency (Cont)
• High-pressure sodium light fixtures for site and
  building exterior
• Interior light fixtures used electronic ballasts,
  T-8 fluorescent tubes, compact fluorescent
  lamps
• Offices equipped with dual light switches to turn
  off selected lamps when sufficient daylighting
• Larger rooms have zoned light switching
• Work areas use modular furniture with integrated
  task lighting

11
SUSTAINABLE FEATURES

• Energy Efficiency (Cont.)
• Daylighting and use of high light reflectance
  ceiling materials
• Walls roofs are thermally insulated with air
  cavities, and a combination of rigid and blanket
  insulation
• Overhangs used to temper thermal gain on the
  glazing
• Limited East and West facing windows to reduce
  thermal gain
• Air locks at the two main entrances to reduce
  heat and humidity gain and to lower contaminants
  from foot traffic

12
SUSTAINABLE FEATURES

• Water Conservation
• Water conserving plumbing fixtures

13
SUSTAINABLE FEATURES

• Recycled/Renewable Materials
• Clearing and grubbing waste processed and
  distributed to the public as firewood and mulch
• Existing topsoil was reused on-site
• Entrance mats contain 95 recycled material
• Carpet tile uses recycled tile backing
• Floor tiles are 95 composed of manufacturing
  recycled waste products

14
SUSTAINABLE FEATURES

• Recycled/Renewable Materials (Cont.)
• Ceiling tile is composed of 69
  recycled/manufacturing byproduct mineral wool and
  cellulose fiber
• Precast concrete panel forms constructed of
  recycled foam insulation
• Facility includes receptacles for recycling of
  paper, plastic, glass, cardboard, and petroleum
  products
• Contractor incorporated a formal program for
  on-site recycling

15
SUSTAINABLE FEATURES

• Indoor Air Quality
• Externally insulated air conditioning ductwork
  used to minimize microbial growth within the
  ductwork
• Low VOC carpet tiles with an integrated
  anti-microbial feature
• Ceiling tiles treated to inhibit growth of mold
  and mildew
• Low VOC wall bases with low VOC adhesives
• Low VOC porcelain wall and floor tiles that do
  not support mildew or bacterial growth
• No VOC linoleum flooring with 100 solvent free
  adhesives
• Low odor, solvent free and 100 acrylic based
  interior paints
