NASA Mission To pioneer the future in space
exploration, scientific discovery, and
aeronautics research

• NASAs Strategic Goals
• Fly the Shuttle as safely as possible until its
  retirement, no later than 2010.
• Complete the International Space Station in a
  manner consistent with NASAs International
  Partner commitments and the needs of human
  exploration.
• Develop a balanced overall program of science,
  exploration, and aeronautics consistent with the
  redirection of the human spaceflight program to
  focus on exploration.
• Bring a new Crew Exploration Vehicle into service
  as soon as possible after Shuttle retirement.
• Encourage the pursuit of appropriate partnerships
  with the emerging commercial space sector.
• Establish a lunar return program having the
  maximum possible utility for later missions to
  Mars and other destinations.

Real Property Management Goals

• Identify and address real property requirements
  as an integral part of Agency, Mission
  Directorate, program, and project planning.
• Construct and operate new real property to meet
  mission requirements ONLY when existing
  capabilities cannot be effectively used or
  modified.
• Continually evaluate its real property assets to
  ensure alignment with the NASA Mission.
• Leverage its real property to its maximum
  potential.
• Sustain, revitalize, and modernize its real
  property required by the NASA Mission.

4
Real Property Challenges

• Managing real property during transformation/shutt
  le transition
• Disposition of assets
• Ensure strategic assets are maintained
• Leverage the value of under-utilized assets
• Dispose of excess
• Historical requirements
• Reducing infrastructure requirements and costs
• Facility OM Costs
• Energy Costs

6
Facility Recapitalization

• Goals
• All NASA infrastructure operating within its
  functional design life.
• Reduce infrastructure to lower CMAO costs
• Recapitalization will allow efficient
  implementation of sustainability
• Continue to revitalize at a 60 year rate
• Four options presented to Administrator.
• Slow Steady selected. By 2050
• 63 of NASA infrastructure will be operating
  within its functional design life.
• Reduce infrastructure by 15
• Continue to revitalize at a 60 year rate.
• PDM CMO 1 - commits 56 million for FY10
  construction and 17.1 million FY10 design funds
  for FY12 construction
• Agency Masterplan will be key component to build
  the 20 year recapitalization plan
• PA E Facilities study ongoing
• Identify mission critical facilities
• Propose governance structure
• Propose the agency go to state for its
  facilities and infrastructure through 2025, or
  the period of the Agency Mission Planning Model.

Sustainability Requirements

• EO 13423, Strengthening Federal Environmental,
  Energy, and Transportation Management
• Sets new goals to
• Reduce the total ownership cost of facilities
• Improve Energy Efficiency
• Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions
• Expand the use of Renewable Energy
• Water conservation
• Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007
  (EISA)

Sustainability in the CoF Context
A leading-edge system for designing,
constructing, operating and certifying the
worlds greenest buildings.

• Facilitate positive results for the environment,
  occupant health and financial return
• Define green by providing a standard for
  measurement
• Prevent greenwashing (false or exaggerated
  claims)
• Promote whole-building, integrated design
  processes

Energy Efficiencies From LEED(MSFC Example)
  The following is the latest comparison data of
Building 4600 to like function buildings at our
Center  
Operations and Maintenance Savings Comparing
Building 4610 and Building 4600 - the OM savings
is approx. 1.83 per sq ft

BACKUP
16
Real Property

• Definition land, buildings, structures,
  utilities systems, and improvements and
  appurtenances thereto, permanently annexed to
  land
• Includes collateral equipment
• Building-type equipment, built-in equipment, and
  large, substantially affixed equipment normally
  acquired and installed as a part of a facility
  project

17
Facilities Strategy

• Facilities supporting the mission
• Invest in facility maintenance, repair,
  replacement
• Invest in sustainable operations, design and
  construction techniques when economically
  justified
• And the others
• Eliminate
• Deconstruction (Demolition) Program
• Other real property solutions (e.g., transfer,
  excess)
