Building “Suitable” facilities to support future GSFC mission is a challenge due to:
• Evolving Mission Set: Certain activities (such as launches at Wallops) have grown, others have
transformed (Mission Communication, Data Centers);
• Configuration: Like-functions and activities are not ideally distributed across a site, which impedes
their efficiency and effectiveness.

Funding levels and priorities for aging buildings and
infrastructure
17
• Approximately 75 percent of GSFC facilities are more than 50 years old and need
significant maintenance and upgrades to preserve the safety and continuity of
operations for critical missions;
In FY15 GSFC spent $22.7M (58%) out of $39M of Facilities funding on annual
maintenance, yet still retained a maintenance backlog of $18.8M. This includes
$3.4M in major repairs (<$25K), and $15.4M in routine maintenance;
• At these current maintenance funding levels, facilities will continue to
degrade – leading to a “run to failure” philosophy;
• Even if current risk is considered acceptable, failures will increase over time
without an increase in maintenance funding.
Obsolescence of facilities and supporting infrastructure makes it difficult to
support latest technology flight systems and maintain state of the art technical
capabilities;
Current Agency policy to ‘Reduce the Footprint’ requires a greater than 1:1 ratio
on new construction.

Achieving Federal Sustainability Requirements
19
New Executive Orders such as 13693, Planning for Federal Sustainability in the Next Decade, shape the metrics of the Federal government sustainability goals, which in turn has required GSFC to:
Update Master Plans and Capital Improvement Plans to inform construction and demolition investments;
Recognize operational and mission risks, such as: direct mission risks (schedule, cost, technical); safety, security and health; legal requirements; and climate risks (short term, long term, and extreme events) in all facility designs;
Assess climate change vulnerabilities with partners in the local community and state and federal neighbors; and
Design NET Zero buildings for all new construction
A building that is design, constructed, and operated to require a greatly reduced quantity of energy to operate, meet the balance of energy needs from sources of energy that do not produce greenhouse gases and be economically viable. (Executive Order 13514 definition of zero-net-energy building).
Achieving Federal Sustainability Requirements, con’t
Adaptability: decisions at the inception of project design to incorporate elements and concepts that will assist with future adaptations to a building can facilitate change in the future;
Building to readily facilitate horizontal and vertical expansion;Analyzing the building structural concept, i.e. structural grid, dimensions, and floor-to-
floor heights that allow for flexibility in internal layouts; demountable walls;Functional Quality: decisions to incorporate the use of hard walls for offices and workspaces vs. flexible 'furniture' systems have a significant impact on functionality of a building;
Buildings support multiple functions: office/laboratory/server rooms;
Existing buildings are not optimized for energy efficiency; Older buildings with HVAC systems designed in 1960’s;
Laboratories or server rooms adjacent to office areas;Offices that used to be laboratories or server rooms.
Adapt to climate change – Challenges
21
Energy Climate change has the potential to create new and unaccounted energy demands on an already
challenged facilities system;
Bringing climate change into facility capital investment discussions provides a potential catalyst for empowering decision makers on Center to engage the problem and solutions.
Water Goddard needs to develop a strategic vision for water management and sustainable site design for
the next 20 years and utilize it to leverage resources to implement the Center vision – Chesapeake Bay.
Sea Level Rise Models predict sea level rise poses a real risk to Wallops Island infrastructure and assets within the
next 100 years;Structures and equipment will be elevated, as practicable, to as much as 13 feet above sea level.

Adapt to climate change - Challenges
24
Other Climate Change Effects
Communication, appreciation, and cooperation of operational and cultural changes to Center personnel are critical to meet the facilities demands for future missions; End users needs sometimes are in conflict with the need to find ways to reduce
energy load, increase efficiency, and maximize the use of renewable energy sources in federal facilities;
The strategic vision must include providing resources for maintenance of structures once they have been installed. These costs are expected to have significant impacts on the CM&O budget.
