The Problem This Solution Solves
The DoD accounts for 80% of USG’s energy consumption which is used by over 238,000 buildings located on 500 DoD installations worldwide. Much of this energy usage is avoidable. DoD must reduce its dependencies on the grid (both home and abroad) through the use of modern construction techniques and materials.
The Solution
Layton Construction’s agreement required the development of a 15% conceptual design for a 41,349 SF single story Child Development Center (Educational Facility) at Joint Expeditionary Base (JEB) Little Creek-Fort Story, Virginia Beach, VA.
The 15% conceptual prototype design was delivered on 15 November 2024, demonstrating that Layton Construction successfully accomplished its objectives.
Layton Construction developed the Concept Design which required the preparation and submission of one
(1) concept design (i.e. drawings, basis of design, cost estimate, etc). The concept design was developed
accordance with FC 1-300-09N, and included the following requirements from the Statement of Work:
a. Site Plan
b. Building Floor Plans
c. Building Elevations
d. Mechanical Plans
e. Electrical Plans
f. Basis of Design Narrative, tied to achieving section 10 success criteria
g. Cost Estimate Reflective of Level of Design
h. Draft energy model
i. Draft Life Cycle Cost Analysis for sustainability features
j. Approach to standardization and prefabrication: Provide information regarding feasibility and
advantages of this approach for similarly sized Military Child Development Centers throughout the US
(i.e. Northwest/Southwest/Northeast/Southeast regions). Details shall include typical modular
construction processes for design, manufacturing, transportation, and installation. Cost efficiencies, time
savings, and advantages/disadvantages compared to traditional construction methods shall be included as
well.
k. Preliminary cost and schedule estimate, including estimation of “green premium”
Layton Construction completed the following Engineering Services:
a. Field Investigation
b. Fire Protection Survey
c. Charrette Report
d. Sustainability Design Documentation
e. HVAC System Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA) Documentation
f. Building Systems Commissioning
g. Solar Energy Analysis Documentation
h. Construction Schedule
i. Environmental/Construction Permits
j. Comprehensive Interior Design
Additionally, the Statement of Work contained
1. Net Zero Emissions
2. Passive Design
3. Electrification of Standard Building Operations
4. Energy Efficiency
5. Sustainable Products and Materials
6. High Performance Sustainable Building.
7. Water Efficiency
8. Cost Estimate. Production of estimate within project budget.
9. Process Improvement
10. Period of Performance. Logical project schedule showing completion within the required timeframe.
