UFC 3-530-0122 August 2006FOREWORDThe Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) system is prescribed by MIL-STD 3007 and providesplanning, design, construction, sustainment, restoration, and modernization criteria, and applies to theMilitary Departments, the Defense Agencies, and the DoD Field Activities in accordance withUSD(AT&L) Memorandum dated 29 May 2002. UFC will be used for all DoD projects and work forother customers where appropriate. All construction outside of the United States is alsogoverned by Status of Forces Agreements (SOFA), Host Nation Funded ConstructionAgreements (HNFA), and in some instances, Bilateral Infrastructure Agreements (BIA.)Therefore, the acquisition team must ensure compliance with the more stringent of the UFC, theSOFA, the HNFA, and the BIA, as applicable.UFC are living documents and will be periodically reviewed, updated, and made available tousers as part of the Services’ responsibility for providing technical criteria for military construction.Headquarters, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (HQUSACE), Naval Facilities EngineeringCommand (NAVFAC), and Air Force Civil Engineer Support Agency (AFCESA) are responsiblefor administration of the UFC system. Defense agencies should contact the preparing service fordocument interpretation and improvements. Technical content of UFC is the responsibility of thecognizant DoD working group. Recommended changes with supporting rationale should be sentto the respective service proponent office by the following electronic form: Criteria ChangeRequest (CCR). The form is also accessible from the Internet sites listed below.UFC are effective upon issuance and are distributed only in electronic media from the followingsource: Whole Building Design Guide web site http://dod.wbdg.org/.Hard copies of UFC printed from electronic media should be checked against the current electronicversion prior to use to ensure that they are current.AUTHORIZED BY:DONALD L.

UFC 3-530-0122 August 2006Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC)New Document Summary SheetSubject: UFC-3-530-01, Design: Interior, Exterior Lighting and ControlsDescription of Change: UFC-3-530-01 is a new Unified Facilities Criteria document thatdescribes the criteria necessary to create effective and efficient lighting designs for the widevariety of DoD facilities. It also educates facility designers and managers on emergingtechnologies that promise to further reduce the energy consumption of buildings.Reasons for Change: In 2000, the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IESNA)published the ninth edition of the Lighting Handbook. This edition significantly altered thelighting recommendations by including a Lighting Design Guide. This matrix addresses themany lighting issues such as glare and uniformity that must be considered (in addition toilluminance) to provide a comfortably lighted environment.In addition, Navy and Air Force facilities follow the US Green Building Council’s LEEDTM ratingsystem and the Army uses the Sustainable Project Rating Tool (SPiRiT). Due to the largeamount of energy consumed by electric lighting in buildings, improving lighting efficiency andeffectiveness contributes significantly to these goals.UFC 3-530-01: Updates the illuminance-based criteria to Quality of the Visual Environment percurrent IESNA standards. Includes daylighting as an important light source. Updates equipment recommendations for lamps and ballasts to incorporate higherperformance standards.Impact: Improving the lighting quality of workspaces and reducing the energy requirements ofthe lighting system both result in significant economic benefits. The Light Right Consortiumresearch found that indirect lighting strategies that light the walls and ceiling were rated as morecomfortable by office occupants. Additionally, certain dimming strategies improved the workersmotivation and accuracy on office tasks. Efficient lighting design not only reduces the electricityconsumption for producing light, but also significantly reduces the cooling load that must behandled by the building’s mechanical system. Combining economic benefits of improvedproductivity and workforce satisfaction with those of energy savings from efficient sources andstrategies make lighting quality an attractive investment.UFC 3-530-01: Integrates occupancy and daylight lighting controls to reduce energy use. Emphasizes “effective” lighting strategies that can result in energy savings forlighting of between 25 to 40 percent, according to research conducted by the FederalEnergy Management Program (FEMP).
