Improving Security and Sustainability at the Pentagon 2000-2010

1. Symposium: Safe, Secure, and Sustainable Facilities Improving Security and Sustainability at the Pentagon2000-2010 Ralph E. Newton Director, Defense Facilities (Ret.)

2. What conflicts might arise from these two attributes? Are conflicts inevitable or might we through planning, design, construction and occupancy practices achieve coexistence or even integration? SECURITY SUSTAINABILITY Secure and Sustainable A Balancing Act? Maybe not.

3. Discuss Pentagon experience through events and achievements over the past decade • Present Security and Sustainability as mutually inclusive in the Pentagon’s: • Recent past • Present • And Future • Present personal observations and lessons Objectives

7. Single law enforcement and security agency • A highly trained police force • A progressively more restricted site • Strictly controlled parking • Public transportation and vehicular access maintained • Delivery vehicle screening and Remote Delivery Facility • Established standoff for vehicles and uncleared pedestrians • Comprehensive access control requiring credentials • Surveillance systems • Mail screening • Chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive detection and protection systems • Protected survivable networks • Mass Notification Systems • Integrated Emergency Operations Center Pentagon Security Actions2000 - 2010

8. Increase Standoff Distance to 580’ • Divert traffic from under ceremonial parade field • Expand Secure Perimeter • Improve Reservation traffic flow (emergency response) Increased Security

9. Sustainability

10. EO 13514 - Federal Leadership in Environmental, Energy, and Economic Performance • EO 13423 - Strengthening Federal Environmental, Energy, and Transportation Management (January 24, 2007)  • Energy Policy Act 2005 • Annual energy reduction goals • Renewable energy purchase goals • Reauthorizes Energy Savings Performance Contracts • ENERGY STAR or FEMP approved products • Updates Federal Green Building Standards with emphasis on energy efficiency and sustainable design principles Greening the Government

11. Waste Stream Audits • 20% reduction in water use • No use of CFC’s in equipment • Reused 75% of the building shell • Diverted ~50% of waste from landfills • Implemented Green Cleaning Program • Implemented Green User Education Program • No permanent irrigation used at the Pentagon • No VOC’s in adhesives & sealants and carpet – limited VOC’s in paint • Continuous Commissioning program implemented • Purchased ~10% recycling content in total materials acquired Pentagon Sustainability Achievements 2000 – 2010

16. Planning

17. No overall change in number of employees; number remains at 23,000 • No new administrative office space on the reservation • No change in the number or ratio of parking spaces • Phase the Master Plan • Complete permanent security perimeter around Pentagon Building • Provide parking structures • Consider Army Navy Drive properties as Enhanced Use Leasing parcels in the future • Relocate Heliport • Relocate motor pool onto reservation • Establish sustainability criteria PENTAGON RESERVATION MASTER PLANPOLICY FRAMEWORK

19. Goals • Bring reservation into compliance with environmental requirements • Meet legal requirements of National Environmental Policy Act and Executive Order 13148 ‘Greening of Government Through Leadership in Environmental Management ‘ • Improve LEEDS certification status • Minimize paved areas • Decrease heat islands • Improve microclimate • Aid energy conservation • Add green land area and roofs to treat and retain water runoff • Improve existing storm water management effectiveness • Mitigate need for adding storm water infrastructure • Improve visual appearance and quality of life PENTAGON RESERVATION MASTER PLAN SUSTAINABILITY

20. Develop the Pentagon as a Model of Security: • Install the best systems • Incorporate the best procedures • Train and equip the best police force and security professionals • Insure compliance with regulations and exceed them • and Sustainability: • Continue pursuit of LEED certification for all construction and interiors • Emphasize renewable energy sources • Develop the Pentagon as a high performance sustainable building • Improve energy efficiency to obtain additional LEED points for higher ratings/certifications • Develop a LEED Existing Building program to focus on the policies and operations governing the overall building • Continue green operations Pentagon Long-Term Strategy

21. The Mark Center provides an example of how to combine Antiterrorism Standards with “Green” Policy • Built to UFC Standards • Located in the Urban Core of Alexandria, VA • Implements newest energy-efficient systems and strategies for utility delivery • Consolidates Government presence to reduce carbon footprint • Being built to LEED Gold standards BRAC 133 Project at Mark Center

22. Provides an example of how to combine Antiterrorism Standards with Green Policy in a leased location • Being built as part of a development that is participating in the LEED Neighborhood Design (ND) pilot program. Developer is looking to achieve Gold certification. • Building site will be a remediated brownfield • First ATFP compliant building in Arlington, VA • DARPA investigating ways to reach Gold or Platinum LEED certification beyond the GSA and DoD requirement of Silver Certification DARPA Project in Ballston

23. Security and Sustainability are not incompatible • Build your plans with the both as requirements • The strength of relationships between professionals is critical • Strong committed leadership is required • Approach solving the challenges from multiple angles • 9/11 lessons • Give people the means get out – pathways and directions • Blast windows and wall reinforcements work • The Pentagon is a tough old dame   • Emergencies and crises happen. Prepare, Respond, Recover, and Mitigate. Review your strategies against lessons learned, but if you have a good plan return to your path. If you do need to change the plan, don’t sweat it. Retain the best and reflect on the lesson. • People of good will with creative minds and common vision are critical to success Lessons Learned
