a. SUDdards aDd Quality. The standards and level of .quality
authorized in thJ.s handbook apply to industrialized, manufactured,
pre-engineered, and other types of building systems construction.
b. COlIponent Parte. The component parte should be readily
available and be abi. to be procured cOlDpetitively. In other 1IIlrda. it
18 IIllt intended that daaigna, or availability of specified or offered
coaponent parta, be aubject to further research or development, or both,
but rather that the cOlDponent parte be standard, off-the-shelf stoclt
it_.
c. Manufactured and Pra-ElUlioeered Bu1ldilUls. .These types
of CODatruction may be used for milItary bu1ldings :tten such use is
indicated by life cycle cost to be econOll1cal; when they will _et the
functional and performance requirements of the project; and when they
can be architecturally compatible .with the environment in whicb they will
be erected. BeCAUse of the great variance in the coet and quality of
auch atructures on the market, extreme care IIIlst be used in selection to
eneure that the quality of the facility to be provided 18 c_nsurate
with the project requirements and ezpected longeVity of the mission to be
aerved.
d. Relocatabl1ity. Relocatab1lity should be specified only
when the project justificetion certifies that the facility involved is of
uncertain teaure aDd the provisions of this feature will not result in a
degradation of proven atandards of design, architecture and engineering,
or result in increaeed operating and maintenance costs. When
re10catabi1ity is tbe primary design consideration, 000 Instruction
416S.S6 (reference (la shall apply.
D. OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND IlE.ALTli Ac:r CONSIDERATIONS
The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (reference (lb
requires that eafety standards issued by the Secretary of Labor be
followed in tbe work place. Section 19 of this Act requires federal
agencies to establish and maintain effective and comprehensive programs,
consistent witb the standards issued by the Secretary of Labor. Those
standards issued by the Secretary of Labor that affect the design of
buildings are principally found in the General Industry Standards, 20 CPR
1910 (reference (lc. The design of all military facilities that serve

CHAPTER 3
KASTER PLANNING AND SITING CRITERIA
1. Master Plallll. Comprehensive master plans are developed to provide
auidance for management of the resources of D e p a r ~ n t of Defenae
illlltallatiollll aDd to provide a systematic process to control orderly
growtb of tbe installations. Kaster plans shall document ez1sting aueta
aDd conditions, and identify future development plans aDd capabilities for
reaponse to changing conditions.
2. Security Threats. Threats to the security of military
installations and facilities may greatly affect operations by requiring
an increase in protective measures. The threats include espionage,
aabotase, terrori_, aDd tbeft. Pl.DOing and design of m1litary
installations aDd facilities should consider tbe vulnerability to th..e
threats, using the 88SeSll1llents of intelligence cOlll1lll1nity ageucies, aDd
should provide installation laDd use, facility sites, site development,
aDd facilities deaisu appropriate to the assessed threat.
3. Coordinstion. Development of I118ster plans should provide for _
consideration of tbe plaDOing goals aDd objectives of the cOlDllll1Dities
aurrounding the militsry installation, coordinsted in compliance witb B.O.
12372 (reference (3& as implemented by DoD Directive 4165.61 (reference
(3b
B. INSTALLATION SECURITY
1. Installation Planuing. Threats to military installations are of
tva major types: natural and human.
a. Natural Threats. The nstural threats are the consequence of
natural pbenomena and normally are not preventable by physical security
meaaures. Esamples include earthquakes, fires, fogs, floods, storm. aud
wiDda, and ice and snov. While these threats cannot be prevented,
effective plaDOing and desisu can be used to reduce the impact of natural
disastera on the operations aDd security of the military illlltallation.
b. Human Threats. Effective plaDOing and desisu can mitigate or
prevent espionage, sabotage, terrori81ll, and theft. PlaDOing for laud
use, circulation, and site development should incorporate measures that
enhauce military installations and fscility security. In general, the
number of points of access to the military installation aud facilitiea
should be limited aDd physical sacurity emphasized for fscilities that
house large numbers of personnel. These are critical to operations (bullt
fuel storage, communication facilities, hangars, I118gazines, piers, power
plants, vater plants), or havs great symbolic value (headquarters ~
offices). These facilities are at greater risk for sabotage or terrorist .
action.

;Z. Fencing. The \MIe of fencll1!! to enclose IIliUtary installatiol18
or to enclose aDd separate araaa within a IIlilitary 1Datallation ahould be
limited to those conditions reqUiring pbYlic:al aecurity or protection
of life, except .. stipulated for fllll11y houaing. Vbere fencing 11
reqUired, sttention sbould be given during deaign to ensure tbat tbe
feac1us selected is functionally adequate and architecturally compatible
with tbe aurroundings.
C. SITING OF BUILDINGS
1. Loc:ation.
a. Fuactional Relationships. Buildings ahould be aited in proper
functional relationship to each other for conveaience, operatioaal
efficiency, pbysical security, and in consonance with long tera
develoPlllent plana.
b. Loc:atioual Relationships. Buildinga lhould be located 111
conaonance with the topography for construction economy and prelervltion
of the character of the site. 'acilities ahould be grouped by function
to ..Iiat 1a lIaintalning phYl1cal lecurlty. ParUus sbould be placed
vbere lurveillance exists in the DOrmal courle of activity.
2. Orientation. Buildings ahould be oriented to take advantase of
pusive solar heating and cooling. Air-conditioned buildingl lbould be
lited ao that the long axia of the building 18 iD aD ..at_It plana as
pOllsible.
3. Pbysical Character of the Site.
a. Natural Resource Considerations. AD active concern for
natural resource values should be considered in the aiting of facilities
in accordance With DoD Directive 4700.1 (raference (3d. The propoaed
ule viII be matcbed to tbe natural relource c:apability and ecological
compatibility of the site. Installation natural relource manasement plana
abould be conaulted when making tbele deterainatioDa.
b. Soil aDd Foundation Conditiona. Soil and fOUDdation
conditioal l&QuId be lDveltliaud to enaure aUitability for econClllcal
axcavation, aite preparation, bUilding fouadationa, utility liaea,
,rading, and planting. Bearing capacity teata ahould be lUde to anaure
ecoaolll1c:al and atable foundations for buildiUSI and otber atructurea.
c. Hazards and Nuiaance Effecta. llazards and au1sauce effacta,
auch as axcesllive dust, aOll1e, odora, and smokei ezploaivea storage or
electromagnetic radiatioa or iDterference, or both; created by the land
Ulell adjacent to the project aite, should be given careful conaideration
in site selection and development.
4. Vebicular and Pedeatrian Circulation.
a. Street Network. Plal1D1ng and deaign of the atreet lI8cwork.

b. ParkiDi Pacilitiea.
(1) Off and On Street ParkiDi' Off street parkiD8
ahould be provided for both orgall1zational and nonorgall1zational vehicles.
Except for reSidential areas. parkiD8 on the street is highly discouraged
due to the greater accident potential.
(2) Joint Use Pacilities. In the interest of ecollOmY and
efficiency of land use. joint use parkiD8 facUities should be designed
where fe.aible. The best opportunity for such application occurs where a
predominately daytime activity adjoill8 a predominately avell1D8 hour
activity. In this CAse, the use of the parkiD8 facilities by patroll8 of
both activities should permit a substantial reduction in parkiD8 area with
little or ao loss of space svailability snd convell1ence.
(3) Space Pactors. Pactors and criteria for
nonorgall1zational vehicle parkill8 spaces in table 3-1 may be used to make
iD1t1al estimatas of park11l8 requiraenta.
c. Sidewalks. Sidewalks should be designed to provide
coavell1ent and safe pedestrian access and necessary circulation. Their
width should be based on the pedestrian traffic volume. When steps are
required. provide at least three risers. If sidewalks serve facilities
that are accessible to the physically handicapped or may be used by the
phydcally handicapped. no steps should be provided. See chapter 5.

to allow essential aircrsft engine mainteDance to be perfor1led on fully
operating engines in the uear proxilll1ty of aainteDance and adlll1aistrative
facilities without objectionable or harmful ooise levels reacbing nearby
workers. The aiting of noise suppresaora, therefore, in addition to otber
fac:tora (e.a., savings in land use tbrouah Doise suppression versus open
air teating), muat couider tbe noise levels aeaerated in adjacent
buildinga aa in paraaraph 2. above. -
b. Standard Design. Ilecogn1l:ing that changi,ng tecbnology in
acoustics engineering cauaes the desian of noise suppressors to evolve
over time, deaigna should be standardised within a service and across
services to tbe eztent practical.
c. Justification Criteria. Certain local factors
justification for acquiring one or more ooise suppressors.
1& easential that the following be cODllidered:
(1) Workload. The aumbers of engines or aircraft being or
plaaned to be tested should be deterlll1ned Vithtbe a1m of efficient use
of each ooise suppressor.
(2) Environment. The noise levels Benerated in adjacent
buildiqs (both on aud off tbe facillty) during engine tesUng !alst be s
consideration. In _e casss cl1l118tic colld1 tiona 11111 fnm a portion of
noise suppreasor justification.

aDd Required Utility Services. Utilities which are
nt1al tg @ff1c1ent ODe ration aDd adeauatelv sized to serve future
requir_nts should be in the 'planning stages. This will
avoid conflict. in the deaign and layout of the various utility lines aDd
pamit the early recognition of the need for additional production or
aupply capacity, or both. All projects should addreas the adequacy of
existing utilitiee support and include any additional needs.
lnatallation-v1de IIIIIster plan st.udies should include a _jor aaalyais of
the integration of ezisting utility systems aDd future requirements. The
planning of utility lines should miD1m1ze utility easements, capital
iuveatments, aDd operational cost for _intensnce aDd repair.
2. Planni
as
Considerations.
a. Appearance. Ketera, poles, transformers, vaults, pressure
reducing station piping and valving, aDd other utility itl!lU should be
located ao that they do DOt detract frOID the building I a appearance.
Deaign should also reduce the negative visual impact of utility itt!lllB aDd
c_ication linea in accordance witb the Joint ServiceMalll1&l.tK
5-803-5, KAVPAC P-960, AFH 88-43 (reference (3c.
b. Security. Since utilities are essential to tbe operation of a
military installation, their design, location, visibility, and access
ahould be considered for protective construction measures to reduce their
vulnerability to enl!llly action or sabotage. Psrticular attention should be
given to commercial power access points and communication lines.
c. UndergrouDd Lines. Underground distribution lines should be
located to min1lll1ze cost and effort of performing lIIIIinteunce. Normally,
utility lines of all types should not be under buildiDgs, parting
Iota, paved terraces, sidevallts, and other paved areas. All underground
utility lines, maina, and conduits should be located at tbe minilllwa depth
necessary aDd when possible, in common corridors to allow for ready access
aDd _intenance.
G. SITING or BAZABDOUS MATERIALS FACILITIES
1. Hazardous Materials. Special conaideration should be given to tbe
design and location of facilities that iavolve the handling,
118nufacture, storage, and transportation of hazardous materials such as
ammunition, explosives, hazardous chl!lllicsls, and liquid propellants.
Site planDing for such facilities should be done as soon as tbe .
requirement is known with the siting being incorporsted into the IIBster
plan of the military installation.
2. DoD Explosives Safety Board (DDESB). Fscility deslgns lncludlng

a. Ploodplaias. Floodplaias are lovlaDd aDd relatively flat
area. adjoiu1ng coa,tal aDd inland waters including flood prone areas of
offabore ialaDds including, at a 1111n1mua, areas subject to a one
percent or greater chance of flooding in any -given yesr (the 100-year
flood). For critical fadlities such as bulk hazardous chelll1cal or fuel
ator..a, or boapitala where evacuation of patients would be difficult, the
floodplaiD 18 aDy are. 8ubject to 0.2 percent or greater chance of
flooding in any given year (the SOQ-year flood).
b. WetlaDd,. Wetlands sre ereas illUndated by ground or surface
vater v1th a frequency sufficient to support or to potentially support, e
prevalence of aquatic or vesetative life. Wetlands generally include
boss, ...rsh.., swamps. and 1I111111ar areaa such as potholes, river outflows,
slouShs, vet meadova, aDd flats aDd natural ponds. WetlaDda l118y be, but
are DOt nec..sarUy, located in floodplaias. -
a. Sitiua. Before undertakina a construction project, the
reapoDllible Military Depart.-nt or DefeDlle C01IIponent DUst determine
vhether or DOt the project vill be sited in a floodplain or on vetlaDda. ~
Appropriate guidance is contained in the Floodplain Management Guidelines ,..,
published by the Water Resources Council (reference (3m.
b. Alternatives. If the proposed siting is in a floodplain or
on wetlanda, the conatruction project may be undertaken only if DOne of
the follaw1na alternatives are practicable:
(1) Carryina out the proposed action at a location outside
of the floodplain or wetlaDd (alternative sites).
(2) Other _aDa that accQlllpl1sh the purpose of the proposed
action (alternative actiona).
(3) No aetioii.
c. National Flood InauraDce Progr81ll. In evaluatina these
alternatives, the bead of tbe reapouaible agency must take into account
economic, euvironmental, aDd other pertinent factors. If the project is
uDder taken , it must be in accordance with -the criteria aDd standards aDd
coasistent with the intent of the National Flood Insurance Progr81ll.

inatallation may be added to the lIl111tary strellllth or 111111 tary population
of the support mi11tary inatallation. However, when a III1mber of military
inatallationa or concentrationa of military personnel are located in
proximity to ODe another, as in a metropolitan area, the faCilities
provided should be related to, and governed by, the aggregate 1Il111tary

which are open to the public, or to limited segments of the public, or
which may be visited by the public in the conduct of normal business,
shall be designed and constructed to be accessible to physically
hsndicapped persons includios facilities constructed with DODBppropriated
funds, privately financed facilities on military installations, and
contractor_ed faeilU:ies vhere the Departllent of Defense is fundina all
or any part of the construction. 10 fact, every facility ahould be
designed to assute access to physically handicapped persons unleas its
intended use is specifically restricted to able-bodied military personnel.
Able-bodied militsry personnel. is defined as those military personnel
conaidered to be phySically fit for duty. At lesst 5 percent of fam1.ly
housina units at an installation and not leas than 1 unit ahall be
acceasible.
2. General Exclusions for Certain Overseas Buildings and Facilities.
Buildinas ana facilities for which the UnitedStates contributes a portion
of the construction cost but does not control tbe design criteria (such as
North Atlsntic Tresty Organization (NATO) funded faCilities) need not be
accesaible. Buildings and fscilities funded by host nations, or beina
leaaed by the United States in other coutries, need not be accessible.
Bowever, every effort should be ude to obtain the cooperation required to
provide accessibility in the buildinas and facilities that VDuld be
covered by the UFAS if they vere located in the United States.
3 Waivers. If a waiver of theBe requirements is considered
neceaaary, the waiver shall be obtaJ.ned through tbe military department
from ODASD (I) spee1tiyina the full particulars. Waivers will be granted
only in a:traordinary circumstances.

all ..jor or coaplu: buildings, including, but not lill1ted to, large
a4a1n1strat1ve buildings, coaaand centera, commun1cstioDB centera,
all4 other s1a1lar facilities, and for iastallatioa ..ster plaas, concept
atucl1ea at the start of design should include ae1Ba1c coasiderationa.,
In addition, they should include functional, flezibility, and'aiting
coasideratioas in order that all requir_atB ..y be optiaally iategrated.
Where necesllary, tra4e-off studiea baaed oa 11fe cycle coating should be '

of different criticallty (SOlie required to operate poat-earthquake, aDd
aOlDe DOt), functloQ8 'should be atudled to group those of greater or leaser
crlticality la order to separate the building lato different oecup&cey
typea for seiSlll1c deB1ga. It ahould be DOted that tbe building
conflauratioa pleys an 1IIIportant role ia the perforlDllnce of tbe

5. Dee1an for Typhoon aDd Hurricane Areas. Structures to be
conatructed in typhoon aDd hurricane areas should be desianed 80 that
atructural integrity aDd continuity are provided from the foundation to
the roof, irreapectiva of tbe materials selected for tbe facility. All
ca.ponents of tbe atructure should be positively tied together in order to

C. PROTECTION or POL PACILITIES
All future cOll8trucUon of Ia1Utary bulk petrol_ iaatallatioaa aDd

:

1. ExlsUng Military PaciliUes. Each Militsry Department should

e:um1ne its existing lII111tary bUlk petroleUll iastallatiollS aDd related
facilities to deterll1ne if protection is required, the degree necessary,
aDd a relative priority for accomplishment.
2. Exlsuhg Leased Pacilities. Each MUitary Department should ...

(reference (7c.
D. PALLOUT PROTECTION
1. Policy Guidance. Fallout protection for Department of Defell8e
personnel, their depeDdents, aDd the general public should be provided 1D
military facUiUes according to the policy guidance given in DoD
Directive 3020.35 (reference (7d. This directive implements the
applicable lavs and executive orders that require, with certain
esceptiollS, that all military faciliUes be dee1gned ue1ng techniques

Almost any design whlch lncludes atreagtbenlns of a facillty to
protect qa1ll8t the effecta of lII1clear or bigh aploa1ve veapoll8 will
require atructural strenstb of a degree eo far beyond llOr.al design that
no nanderd or well undaratood technique will be avaUable. The lack of

source heat pump is secoad cboice. Accordiagly, whea coasideration is
being givea to the use of heat pumps, the vater source shauld be
evaluated first_ Water source units arc vell suited for use
in beating the perilll8ter spaces of buildings that have iaterior spaces
that _st be cooled concurrently. In such cases, the heat rejected fr_
the iaterior space is carried in a closed vater loop to serve .. the heat
source for the hest pumpa.

aatural gas to geaerate over 10 perceat of the total aaaual output, the
probability of iacreased -fuel adjustlll8at charges- caused by coaveni_

have low by-pass factors.
d. Outside Air. Outside air should be conditioned at all times
through a continuously operating air conditioning system. Outside air
ahould be adequate in quantity to slightly pressuriae the building under
varying ezternal and internal loads.
e. Calculations. In addition to calculating the cooling
load at mazimum design temperature, cooling load calculatiollS should also
be made for the low temperature, high hUlll1dity conditiollS to determine
the greatest dehUlll1dification load that may be encountered on cloudy and
