The Problem This Solution Solves
The Department of Defense (DoD) seeks to prototype innovative design and construction techniques and materials in order to improve the energy and water efficiency of its existing building infrastructure. Therefore, the DoD is seeking new approaches, potentially turnkey, for the net zero design and renovation of existing buildings.
Buildings and their supporting systems (e.g. heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC), lighting, etc.) have a significant impact on energy use and the environment. Commercial and residential buildings comprise approximately 76% of the electricity demand and are responsible for 40% of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the United States. Much like the private sector, the DoD’s building stock is one of the single greatest drivers of energy demand. With more than 283,000 buildings located on 500 installations worldwide, DoD buildings account for nearly one quarter of total energy use in the federal government.
The DoD’s commercial grid dependence creates mission risks due to potential disruptions from extreme weather and cyber attacks while simultaneously creating undue strain on the local energy infrastructure.
The Solution
Haskell Company's agreement required the development of a 35% design for the renovation of a 44,106 SF 3-story barracks at Fort Campbell, KY.
The 35% prototype design was delivered on 29 January 2025, demonstrating that Haskell Company successfully accomplished its objectives of the prototype within 126 days of the Agreement award to develop and provide a project narrative, concept plans, and a basis of design.
Haskell Company performed all work in accordance with the technical criteria (Unified Facilities Criteria-UFC, engineering and architectural codes, technical instructions, etc.) and all supplementary and/or revised requirements contained in the final Statement of Work (SOW).
Haskell Company developed the 35% Design which required the preparation and submission of one (1) 35% design (i.e. drawings, basis of design, cost estimate, etc). The design was developed accordance with applicable regulations and included the following requirements from the SOW:
a. Site Plan
b. Building Floor Plans
c. Building Elevations
d. Mechanical Plans
e. Electrical Plans
f. Basis of Design Narrative
h. Draft Energy Model
i. Life Cycle Cost Analysis for sustainability features
j. Construction processes for design, manufacturing, and installation
Haskell Company 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. Interior Design
