The use of a climate specific Prescriptive Technology Solution Set listed in Tables 1 to 10 for TEMF
facilities will result in an annual energy consumption less than or equal to the target energy budget
figure shown in Attachment 2 for this facility type and climate zone, will meet life cycle cost
effectiveness requirements, and will not require any calculations to demonstrate compliance with the
EPACT 2005 30% better requirement utilizing the methodology described in ASHRAE 90.1 Appendix
G. The actual energy consumption budget for each prescriptive solution/climate zone is shown in
Attachment 2. Climate zone identification information for Army locations is also shown in Attachment 2.

Energy and Water Conservation Design Requirements for SRM Projects
Notes:
1. Baseline requirements are from ANSI/ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1-2004.
1. U-values and R-values for assemblies and their definitions, requirements, and determinations can be found
in ANSI/ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1-2007, Normative Appendix A.
2. Light colored and cool roofs: reflect and emit the sun's heat back to the sky instead of transferring it to
the building below. "Coolness" is measured by two properties, solar reflectance and thermal emittance.
Both properties are measured from 0 to 1 and the higher the value, the "cooler" the roof. A high
reflectance keeps much of the sun’s energy from being absorbed, while a high thermal emittance
radiates away any solar energy that is absorbed, allowing the roof to cool more rapidly. Cool roofs are
typically white and have a smooth surface. Commercial roof products that qualify as cool roofs fall into
three categories: single-ply, liquid-applied, and metal panels. The solar reflectance and thermal
emittance property values represent initial conditions as determined by a laboratory accredited by the
Cool Roof Rating Council.
Cool roofs are cost effective over air-conditioned spaces for buildings located in climate zones 1 - 5. In
these locations, a minimum of 75% of the entire roof surface not used for roof penetrations shall be
covered with roofing products that comply with one or more of the following:
 Have a minimum initial SRI of 78 for a low-sloped roof (a slope less than or equal to 2:12) and a
minimum initial SRI of 29 for a steep-sloped roof (a slope of more than 2:12).
 Comply with the criteria for the US EPA’s Energy Star Program Requirements for Roof Products –
Eligibility Criteria.
For industrial buildings with only heating and ventilation, cool roofs can improve the comfort conditions (and
hence productivity) in the space.
In order to be considered a cool roof, a solar reflectance of 0.67 when tested in accordance with ASTM
C1549, ASTM E903, or ASTM E1918 and, in addition, a minimum thermal emittance of 0.75 when
tested in accordance with ASTM C1371 or ASTM E408, or a minimum Solar Reflective Index of 78
when determined in accordance with the Solar Reflectance Index method in ASTM E1980 where
standard white is SRI = 100 and standard black has SRI = 0. An SRI can be determined by the
following equations:
SRI = 123.97 – 141.35(x) + 9.655(x2)
where
x
20.797    0.603  
,
9.5205    12.0
Where  is the solar absorptance (= 1 – solar reflectance) and  is the thermal emissivity, which were derived
from ASTM E1980 assuming a medium wind speed.

3. NR means there is no requirement or recommendation for a component in this climate zone.
4. Increased Building Air tightness. Building air leakage (measured in cfm/ft2) is the average volume of
air(measured in cubic feet per minute) that passes through a unit area of the building envelope (measured in
square feet) when the building is maintained at a specified internal pressure (measured in Pascals).
ASHRAE has proposed a building air tightness requirement of 0.4 cfm/ft2 @ 75 Pa as an addendum to
Standard 90.1-2004. ASHRAE has also proposed an approach to complying with the new requirement with a
pressurization test to show that the building leakage does not exceed 0.4 cfm/ft2 at 75 Pa. This air tightness
requirement provides a number that can be used for the energy simulations and was assumed to be the
baseline leakage rate. The air tightness requirement adopted by the U.S. Army for new construction is more
stringent than the one proposed by ASHRAE and requires that the leakage rate must not exceed 0.25 cfm/ft2
at 75 Pa, and was assumed for the energy efficient building models. To convert the values used for building
leakage tests at the pressure difference of 75Pa to the values which can be used to calculate required
excessive outdoor air supply rates, the following equation can be used ΔQ = Q75 * (5/75)0.65 = 0.172 * Q75.

Energy and Water Conservation Design Requirements for SRM Projects
The excessive airflow rate for the building complying with the new ASHRAE 90.1 Standard air leakage
requirement is 0.069 cfm/ft2. Respective number for the building built to the Army model RFP requirement is
0.043cfm/ft2.
5. Light Power density Levels. in accordance with the values listed in Table 11.
Table 11. Light power density Levels
6. Daylighting. Daylighting should be included in the repair bays, vehicle corridor, and office.
7. Fan Efficiencies, use the values listed in Table 12.
Table 12. Fan efficiencies.
8. Energy Recovery Make Up Air Units. Energy recovery on the MAUs for the vehicle corridor and
consolidated bench shows a small energy savings and should be evaluated prior to inclusion for this climate
zone.
9. Duct and pipe insulation, values are from the ASHRAE Advanced Energy Design Guide for Highway
Lodging.
