Sustainable Federal Facilities
In the late 1990s, several of the sponsor agencies of the Federal Facilities Council began developing and implementing initiatives and policies related to sustainable development. Guidance related to life-cycle costing and value engineering was recognized as being supportive of sustainable development, in particular when used in the conceptual planning and design phases of acquisition, where decisions are made that substantially effect the ultimate performance of a building over its life cycle. However, specific concerns were raised that when federal agencies apply value engineering in the final stages of design or during construction in response to cost overruns, design features that support sustainable development may be eliminated. The primary objective of this study, therefore, was to develop a framework to show how federal agencies can use value engineering and life-cycle costing to support sustainable development for federal facilities and meet the objectives of Executive Order 13123.

Die Planungsbegleitende Mediation. Bauprojekte effektiv steuern und gemeinsam zum Erfolg führen
Bauprojekte der BRD, von Steuergeldern finanziert, stehen häufig unter Beobachtung von Presse und Öffentlichkeit. Ausufernde Kostensteigerungen oder Terminverzögerungen bei der Fertigstellung stoßen nicht nur bei der Bevölkerung auf Unverständnis und Missmut. Ob bei Bau des Flughafens in Berlin oder der Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg – es sind stets erfahrene und gestandene Projektmanager, -steuerer und -planer am Werk. Wie kann es sein, dass sich diese Projekte dennoch so desaströs entwickeln konnten? Die Projektanten sind darin geübt, komplexe Problemstellungen zu bearbeiten und zu lösen. Wie ist es also möglich, dass sie offenbar derart versagen? Was macht es so schwierig, anhand der Fakten zu diskutieren und gemeinsam zufriedenstellende Lösungen zu finden? Am Beispiel der Bundeswehr zeigt dieses Buch das komplexe Geflecht der Beteiligten sowie der Planungs- und Entscheidungsvorgänge von Bauprojekten auf. Es werden Konfliktursachen erörtert und Möglichkeiten aufgezeigt, dieser gemeinsam Herr zu werden. Ziel ist die Förderung und Erhaltung einer konstruktiven und kooperativen Zusammenarbeit im Sinne des Projekterfolges. Die Planungsbegleitende Mediation stellt hierbei den Fokus der Studie dar.
