Net Zero Buildings

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

ADL Venture’s agreement required the development of a 15% IC 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.


ADL Ventures 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.

k. Preliminary cost and schedule estimate, including estimation of “green premium”

ADL Ventures is one of the many companies we have contracted with in a variety of focus areas.

The DIU Commercial Solutions Catalog is a compilation of both our successful and transitioned prototypes. In conjunction with our Department of Defense (DoD) partners, we have evaluated, adapted, and tested these commercial solutions to solve your organization’s AI/ML, autonomy, cyber, human systems, and space challenges.

Prototype “Success Memos,” which enable DoD and U.S. Government (USG) entities to enter into Production Other Transaction agreements without re-competing, are available through DIU. See here for more information on the advantages of a DIU Success Memo.
