## Argonne National LaboratorySustainable Design Regulatory Drivers

- DOE 413.3 Program and Project Management for the Acquisition of Capital Assets
- “Sustainable Design Principles must be applied to the siting, design, and construction of new facilities”

## Argonne National LaboratorySustainable Design Regulatory Drivers

- Executive Order 13101:  Greening the Government Through Waste Prevention, Recycling, and Federal Acquisition
- Promotes environmentally preferable purchasing and requires recycled content construction products.

## Argonne National LaboratorySustainable Design Policies and Procedures

- PFS/Facilities Engineering and Construction Sustainable Design Policy Statement
- “FEC will demonstrate a commitment to sustainable design on all projects by striving to upgrade existing facilities and design new facilities to be as resource efficient and pollution free as possible.”

## Argonne National LaboratorySustainable Design Incentives

## Argonne National LaboratoryCentral Supply Facility Case History

- 1993 – First submission of CDR for 35000sf facility
- 1998 - Reduced necessary square footage to 25000 through just in time delivery and other operational improvements
- 1999 – Received approval and Congressional funding to proceed – revised design from stand alone facility to building addition.  Reduced footprint to 19000sf by utilizing existing support facilities.
