Page ii NOTICE The Federal Facilities Council (FFC) (formerly the Federal Construction Council) is a continuing activity of the Board on Infrastructure and the Constructed Environment of the National Research Council (NRC). The purpose of the FFC is to promote continuing cooperation among the sponsoring federal agencies and between the agencies and other elements of the building community in order to advance building science and technology–particularly with regard to the design, construction, acquisition, evaluation, and operation of federal facilities. The following agencies provided funding for this activity: Department of the Air Force, Office of the Civil Engineer Department of the Air Force, Air National Guard Department of the Army, Assistant Chief of Staff for Installation Management Department of Defense, Federal Facilities Directorate Department of Energy Department of the Interior, Office of Managing Risk and Public Safety Department of the Navy, Naval Facilities Engineering Command Department of State, Office of Foreign Buildings Operations Department of Veterans Affairs, Office of Facilities Management Federal Bureau of Prisons Food and Drug Administration General Services Administration, Public Buildings Service Indian Health Service International Broadcasting Bureau Internal Revenue Service National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Facilities Engineering Division National Institutes of Health National Institute of Standards and Technology, Building and Fire Research Laboratory National Science Foundation Smithsonian Institution, Office of Facilities Services U.S. Postal Service, Engineering Division As part of its activities, the FFC periodically publishes reports that have been prepared by committees of government employees. Because these committees are not appointed by the NRC, they do not make recommendations, and their reports are considered FFC publications rather than NRC publications. For additional information on the FFC program and its reports, visit the website at http://www4.nationalacademies.org/cets/ffc.nsf or write to Director, Federal Facilities Council, 2101 Constitution Avenue, N.W., HA-274, Washington, DC 20418 Printed in the United States of America 2001
