• Task Orders
• Policies and Procedures
• Standard Operating Procedures
• Plans & Specifications
Facilities Design Standards
All designs shall incorporate the five guiding principles of the High Performance and Sustainable Buildings Memorandum of Understanding.
1. Use integrated design and commissioning2. Optimize energy efficiency using
measurement and verification 3. Protect and conserve water 4. Enhance indoor environmental quality5. Reduce the environmental impact of
materials.
Facilities Design Standards3.4.3 Incorporation of Biobased Products
Executive Order (EO) 13423 - Strengthening Federal Environmental, Energy, and Transportation Management, requires the use of biobased products in Federal buildings. ARS is committed to incorporating biobased products into Federal facilities. A biobased product is a commercial or industrial product (other than food or feed) that is composed in whole or in significant part, of biological products or renewable domestic agricultural (including plant, animal, and marine materials) or forestry materials. Designated biobased products are to have procurement preference if they are comparable in price, performance and availability to non-biobased products. If there is a choice between a recycled product and an equivalent recycled product, the recycled product should be used. Domestic includes other designated countries. Refer to the USDA BioPreferred website at http://www.biopreferred.gov/ for information on biobased products designated as preferred.
Specifications• The Unified Facilities Guide Specifications (UFGS)
have been adopted as the standard specification for all ARS-FD administered projects.
• To help the USDA meet its project-specific environmental goals, the A-E shall review the Federal Green Construction Guide for Specifiers and incorporate relevant portions of the Guide into the project specifications. This Guide can be found at: http://www.wbdg.org/design/greenspec.php.
• The A-E shall specify environmentally preferable products. To the greatest extent possible, the A-E shall incorporate into the project bio-based products that are competitive in price, performance and availability. Refer to the USDA BioPreferred website at http://www.biopreferred.gov/ for information on biobased products designated as preferred.
Energy, Water and Sustainability Policy
Assigns Responsibility• Acquisition and Property Division will be responsible for procurement
policy including green purchasing, fleet transportation, electronics stewardship and purchase cards. Procurement policy will include biobased products, recycling and recycled products, Energy Star® and other energy efficient, environmentally preferable products and water consumption reducing products.
• The primary responsibility for green or environmentally preferable purchasing such as biobased, recycled, Energy Star®, FEMP designated, WaterSense products, etc. lies on the program offices.
• Facilities Division will require in all contracts and designs, energy and
water efficient, recycled, biobased, sustainably harvested products, rapidly renewable, and other environmentally preferable products.
• Sustainable leasing includes encouraging energy and water conservation and the use of environmentally preferable products that contain materials that are recycled, biobased, or have other positive environmental attributes.

Low Impact Development (LID)• Bioswale in existing drainage ditch• Captures first flow pollutants and retains
water to prevent erosion down stream
PV and Wind Demonstrations
Fort Hood is evaluating renewable energy options for new construction and existing buildings
Photovoltaics – silicon monocrystalline – thin film (most likely cadmium telluride)
Demonstration will compare the different PV technologies to determine which one performs best in this environment and includes a small wind turbine to see which technology has the best output.
