AF Case Studies in Green Specification Writing

Abstract

For many years the Air Force measure of success in delivering facilities has been: Did we build something that meets mission requirements within the established schedule and budget? Using these criteria, we've done a good job of providing buildings that meet our operational needs. Air Force project managers should not abandon these measures of quality, but need to broaden them to include new concepts. Today, a successful project should also conserve resources, avoid environmental degradation, and promote a healthy workplace. Sustainable is the term which is often used to describe projects which accomplish these goals. The AF Environmentally Responsible Facilities Guide, now available on AFCEE's website, was written to help project teams create sustainable projects.
