I. IntroductionI. Introduction
Fort Monmouth Results• Not Platinum, but Silver• Project Recommendations• Charrette Report :
6.C1 Holistic Delivery of FacilityIntent:Encourage a facility delivery process that actively engages all stakeholders in the design process to deliver a facility that meets all functional requirements while effectively optimizing tradeoffs among sustainability, first costs, life cycle costs and mission requirements.

II. CharrettesII. Charrettes
6.C1 Holistic Delivery of Facility• (1) Experienced team leaders.• (1) Train entire team.• (1) Identify project goals and metrics.• (1) Plan an execute charrettes.• (2) Identify and resolve tradeoffs among
sustainability, first costs, life cycle costs and mission requirements through charrettes and other collaborative processes.
• (1) Document required results … that achieve the project goals.

• (TEG Doc 1) Summary of life-cycle cost analysis (LCCA) according to the Federal Facilities Council Technical Report, Sustainable Federal Facilities: A Guide To Integrating Value Engineering, Life Cycle Costing, and Sustainable Development, FFC # 142, 2000.
• (TEG Lesson 1) Have a draft of a life-cycle cost analysis prepared either by the project team or by the sustainable design experts for the second charrette.

SPiRiT in comparison with LEED™ :SPiRiT: Higher emphasis on
• Facility Delivery Process• Functionality – indoor, conveniences• Adaptability of building for future uses
SPiRiT: Less emphasis on standards/ quantity
• All of the 69 LEED™ credits use standards/ quantity
• Of the additional SPiRiT credits, only 1 does (Distributed Generation)

Higher SPiRiT emphasis makes sense for Fort Monmouth:Facility Delivery Process:
• No submittal to USGBC • Team w/o sustainability
experienceFunctionality – indoor,
conveniences:• High abuse by occupants• Amenities close-by (dining, athletic)
Adaptability of building for future uses:• Building built 1952, renovated 1979, 2002… 2027

Some conditions in Fort Monmouth NOT reflected in SPiRiTArmy base – like a campus– difficult to define boundaries of a site
• LEED™ needs site definition instructions
Force Protection –no bushes or trees
• Habitat landscaping not availableHigh water use - showers Commissioning needed, but “difficult”

Desirable: LEED™ Language Flexibility
• Not “Urban” Redevelopment but “Community Redevelopment”
• Not ASHRAE 90.1 but “or similar standard approved by USGBC” to account for TI 800-01

Perhaps: LEED™ Exceptions for credits generally not available.
• Protect and Restore Open Space N/A due to Force Protection
• HCFC elimination• LEED™ Accreditation not required
