SUSTAINABLE DESIGN.
Use an integrated approach to the planning and design of Youth Centers that minimizes
energy consumption and optimizes life cycle cost renewable energy possibilities. Use a
practical combination of site selection and siting, energy conserving building envelope
technologies, energy efficient lighting, occupant sensing controls, variable frequency
drives for motors and exhaust fans, and high efficiency HVAC systems to achieve this
goal. Incorporate renewable energy principles such as day-lighting, passive and active
solar heating, natural ventilation, and photo-voltaics where they are life cycle cost
effective.

Service Specific.
See the following Service-specific requirements:
3-9.1.1
Army. Design Youth Center projects with consideration for sustainable
ratings in eight facility categories: Sustainable Sites, Water Efficiency, Energy and
Atmosphere, Materials and Resources, Indoor Environmental Quality, Facility Delivery
Process, Current Mission, and Future Missions. The minimum rating for the Army's
Sustainability Project Rating Tool (SPiRiT) must be in accordance with the current
rating. Most projects can reach the sustainability rating without increasing costs, while
improving installation sustainability and balancing available resources with customer
requirements. Understanding and applying the principles of Sustainable Design and
Development and using the SPiRiT rating process improves day-to-day decisions and
project quality.
