It applies to design and construction of new federal facilities, major repairs and alterations of existing buildings, and lease construction facilities that GSA intends to own or has the option to own (Design Excellence in Leasing). P100 users span the entire spectrum of building professional disciplines, and the P100 informs and regulates decisions made throughout a project's life. This edition of the P100 updates the document's substantial transformation from a prescriptive standard to one that contains both performance-based and prescriptive requirements. A large portion of the standard specifies levels of performance, which allows a design team and GSA's other professional partners to identify and implement the best strategies to meet those goals. Four levels of performance are defined throughout the P100 in matrices, in which baseline performance (plus all prescriptive requirements) is the lowest permissible level, and it is generally commensurate with the standards of the P100 published in 2010. The three higher-performance levels are more rigorous and voluntary. Each project may implement any combination of performance levels, in order to prioritize performance opportunities that stem from climate, site, program, mandates, and other conditions. Metrics will validate performance goals at various phases of design and construction through total building commissioning. This public domain material was published by Mr. Luis Ayala, former Director of Property Development, GSA Region 7.
