Assessment Requirements

Use the following questions-based assessment elements to assess Guiding Principles compliance of an existing building. Each element has two designations noted under the element title:

1. “Required” or “Additional” and 
2. “Installation-wide” or “Building-specific”.

Designation definitions are: 

• “Required” means the element must be met to be in compliance. 
• “Additional” means the element is an optional part of the assessment. Forty percent of these elements must be met to be in compliance. 
• “Installation-wide” means the element can be met through Installation policy/specifications/contracts (where the building is located.) 
• “Building-specific” means the element must be met at the building level.
