Where there is a conflict between the various codes or standards, the most stringent shall apply. The Public Buildings Amendment Act of 1988, Public Law (Pub. L.) 100-678 requires Federal agencies to follow national recognized "model" building codes. The Federal Participation in the Development and Use of Voluntary Standards, Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-119, requires all executive agencies to rely on voluntary standards, both domestic and international, whenever feasible, and to participate in voluntary standard bodies. As a Federal agency, VA is required to comply with Executive Orders. VA has adopted the following codes and standards as a minimum for all projects performed in the modernization, alteration, addition, or improvement of its real property and the construction of new structures.

VA buildings must meet the requirements of NFP A 101 and documents referenced by NFPA 101 in order to comply with the accreditation requirements of the Joint Commission. Therefore, designs shall comply with the requirements of NFP A 101 and documents referenced therein. Design features not addressed by NFP A 101 or documents referenced therein shall comply with the requirements of the IBC. Should a conflict exist between VA requirements and VA-adopted nationally recognized codes and standards, the conflict shall be brought to the attention of VA. The resolution of the conflict shall be made by the authority having jurisdiction for VA to ensure system-wide MANDATORY PROVISIONS FOR ENERGY CONSERVATION Federally mandated statutory requirements for energy conservation are also applicable to the leased facilities. These requirements include: (1) Federal Leadership in High Performance and Sustainable Buildings: MOU (Memorandum of Understanding) Dated November 2006. This document was signed by 21 Federal Agencies under the Federal Leadership in High Performance and Sustainable Buildings. The stated goals and objectives of the MOU are: New Construction: Reduction in the Energy Cost Budget by 30% over the Baseline performance rating of ASHRAE Standard 90.1- 2004. Reduction in the energy cost budget shall be implemented as the reduction in energy consumption measured as BTU (British Thermal Units) or Joules (J). For major renovations, reduce the energy cost budget by 20% below pre-renovations 2003 baseline. In the event pre-renovation 2003 baseline data is not available, the A/E shall calculate the energy consumption before renovation, compare it with the energy consumption after renovation, and document the mandated saving. It is assumed that the use of the facility shall remain similar before and after the renovation. The term "major renovation" shall meet the following two guidelines: D Area of renovation is greater than 50% of the total area. D A project is planned that significantly extends the building's useful life through alterations or repairs and totals more than 30% of the replacement value of the facility. Additional issues addressed by MOU are: Commissioning: For the leased facilities, commissioning of the mechanical and other building systems shall be implemented to verify the intent of the design by inspecting and testing the systems. Measurements and Verification: Per DOE Guidelines issued under section 103 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct), install building level utility meters in new major construction and renovation projects to track and continuously optimize performance. MOU mandates that the actual performance data from the first year of operation should be compared with the energy design target. After one year of occupancy, measure all new major installations using the Energy Star® Benchmarking Tool for building and space types covered by ENERGY STAR® or FEMP-designated equipment. (2) Energy Policy Act (2005): DOE issued mandatory energy conservation guidelines as the final rule for implementing provisions ofEPAct 2005.(3) Executive Order 13423: Strengthening Federal Environmental, Energy, and Transportation Management Mandatory energy conservation guidelines are also reiterated in the above Executive Order DOE has mandated that a new Federal building must be designed to achieve an energy consumption level that is at least 30% below the level achieved under Standard 90.1-2004, if life-cycle cost-effective. Life-Cycle Cost (LCC) Analysis (Requirements) If additional 30% reduction in energy consumption were not life cycle cost-effective, the A/E must evaluate alternate designs at successive decrements (25%, 20% or lower) in order to identify the most energy efficient design that is life-cycle cost-effective. And in so doing, all readily available energy conservation measures, with which industry is generally familiar, should be considered and evaluated. DOE further stipulates that the "agencies must estimate the life-cycle costs and energy consumption of the planned building as designed and an otherwise identical building just meeting the minimum criteria set forth in the applicable baseline ASHRAE or IECC standard. This measure is meant to demonstrate and record the mandated compliance and the extent of it. Life-Cycle Cost Analysis (Methodology) LCC shall be performed in accordance with the procedure outlined by the Department of Energy (DOE) in the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Handbook 135 dated February 1996 (or the latest version) - Life-Cycle Costing Manual for the Federal Energy Management. A 5-year lease term is being considered which includes a firm term of Three (3) years and Two (2) year soft term with termination rights after the firm term.
