Screening tools mentioned in the UFC can be used to determine if photovoltaic (PV) and solar domestic hot water are LCCE provide details if renewable energy requirements will be met using an installation approach.

Design buildings to achieve at least 30% energy consumption reduction from the ASHRAE 90.1 baseline. Use products and materials that have a lesser or reduced effect on human health and the environment.įollow federal requirements to reduce demand and optimize performance of the building energy and water systems as a key strategy to minimizing the total ownership cost of AF facilities. Maintain occupant health, safety and wellness while satisfying mission and user requirements. Evaluate building components to determine whether passive and natural design strategies and features are cost effectively incorporated before the active and mechanical systems are designed.

Guiding Principles Assessment (GPA) assesses. Address climate resiliency and local and regional contexts in building designs and features. For the DOD compliance with UFC 1-200-02 is compliance with Guiding Principles for Federal Sustainable Buildings. Reduce the total cost of facility ownership through sustainable design features such as a building’s orientation, thermal envelope and shading devices. Design and construct High Performance and Sustainable Buildings (HPSB) that comply with all the federal HPSB requirements as detailed in UFC 1-200-02 for all Facility Groups following the Facilities Hierarchy guidance in the Overview of this AFCFS.
