2. What is the P100? The Facilities Standards for the Public Buildings Service The P100 is a mandatory standard. It is not a guideline, textbook, handbook, training manual, nor substitute for technical competence. The standards represent the current state of practice in designing facilities to meet GSA's commitments, maximize the efficiency of business processes, and comply with the requirements of law. The Facilities Standards must be used in conjunction with the building program for each project.

3. Application of the P100 Applies to all new building projects Applies to Repair and Alteration projects Applies to Modernization projects Applies to Lease Construct with Government Option to Purchase Does not apply to Lease Construct

4. What is in the P-100, What is not Included  Implementation of Laws and Regulations  Codes and Standards  Lessons Learned  Processes (A/E)  Program Descriptions Not Included  Material that can be referenced

6. Guiding Principles for 2008 Revision P-100 is a cornerstone document for PBS. Incorporate new legal requirements for energy conservation and sustainability. Clarify what is required as opposed to what is recommended. Simplify the document by not repeating what is detailed elsewhere.

7. Major Revisions Break Chapter 1 into an Introduction and General Requirements Site Design as a part of Architecture Reformat the chapters to clarify what is required v what is recommended Incorporated new energy requirements Integrate security requirements Put secondary information in an Appendix Incorporate new lessons learned - UFAD

8. General Chapter Format 1. General Intent of the Chapter 2. Codes and Regulations 3. GSA Programs Affected by Chapter 4. Required Design Standards 5. Recommended Design Practices

12. How are the standards enforced? P100 is a mandatory contract requirement During specific design reviews  Reviews are conducted by independent design firms, CMa, and GSA. Commissioner of the public building service approves the concept design Construction funding is dependent on successful design completion
