DoD Minimum AT Standards for Buildings UFC 4-010-01

1999) Interim Department of Defense Antiterrorism/Force Protection Construction Standards issued 16 December 1999 by Under Secretary of Defense A&T Memorandum (FOUO).

2003) Standards updated and converted to UFC 4-010-01 and issued by Under Secretary of Defense AT&L Memorandum on 20 September 2002.

2004) Standards updated, current version of the standards is dated 8 October 2003.

2010) Standards updated, current version of the standards is dated 8 October 2003, change 1 dated 22 January 2007.


NAVY Sustainable Policy

• Reduce the total cost of ownership of shore facilities by implementing sustainable design concepts and principles.

• For FY09 & beyond: >LEED Silver rating >USGBC certified (process)* >EPAct 2005 as codified under US Code 10 CFR 433 & 435 >E.O. 13424, Strengthening Federal Environmental, Energy and Transportation Management

• Energy & Independence Security Act (EISA) 2007

• Engineering & Construction Bulletin (ECB) 2008-01 https://portal.navfac.navy.mil/pls/portal/url/page/ci/ecb http://www.wbdg.org/pdfs/ecb_2008_01.pdf


Physical Security Protective Measures

Architects, Engineers, and Security Professionals work with Clients to decide what buildings or areas to protect.

• The decision on what protective measures to provide are typically based upon the following criteria: – Asset value – Aggressor – Tactic – Availability of fiscal resources (procurement,

installation, energy conservation, and maintenance costs)

– Operational, User, or Site Constraints


Challenges

• It is the perception of some Physical Security Professionals that “More is better”! – More Standoff – More Physical Barriers – More Security Lighting – More Operational Controls

• Planning and Design teams must find the balance between security, life safety, sustainability, aesthetics, and the functional requirements of the facility.


What we want!

AT and Physical Security features should be attractive and unapparent.

450,000 SF Admin Facility

Required vehicle barriers at standoff distance.

Water element was intended to act as a bio-retention pond.

Wall will be built using loose stack local stone


Site Concepts


Water element was intended to act as a bio-retention pond. Water from adjacent parking lot and building roof pass through sand filters to a pond. Indigenous plants require little maintenance. Fish and frogs should keep the mosquito population under control. Air bubblers will be used.

Protect the Anacostia River and the Chesapeake Bay.

• Purpose: Provides the criteria necessary to create effective and efficient lighting designs for the wide variety of DoD facilities. It also introduces emerging technologies to further reduce the energy consumption of DoD Facilities.

• Current Document Status: – Available on the Whole Building Design Guide web

site – Adding chapter on Security Lighting

• Security Lighting Chapter focus: – Improve Nighttime Visibility – Improve Light Distribution – Reduce Glare, Light Trespass, and Adaptation

Issues – Provide Adequate Lighting Levels

UFC 3-530-01 Design: Interior, Exterior Lighting and Controls


Security Personnel In Relative Darkness

Aggressor

25’ Minimum Mounting Height

Perimeter Fence

(5’ Min)

Perimeter Lighting Techniques

Controlled Lighting Techniques


Perimeter Lighting Techniques

Glare Projection - Techniques

20’ ± (5’ Minimum)

Security Personnel In Relative Darkness

Aggressor

10’-20’ mounting Height

Perimeter Fence


Building Lighting Techniques

• Goals: – Reduce Light Pollution – Reduce Light Trespass – Reduce Glare – Increase Uniformity

Utilize full cutoff/fully shielded area and roadway lighting


Building Lighting Techniques

Utilize full cutoff/fully shielded wall pack down lights

• Goals: – Reduce Light Pollution – Reduce Light Trespass – Reduce Glare

• Benefits: – Decrease Energy consumption – Increases likelihood of

detection by lighting surfaces to create silhouetting or back lighting

– Decreases adaptation issues for security personnel
