> Next Steps – Ian Maw & Peter Reeves
3. Click to Edit Master Title StyleBasic Approach
> Data collected through a survey approach
> Submission of a simplified building inventory(Building level data) for defined subset of agriculture
and related buildings.
> Response to a short survey regarding existing deferred maintenance study and campus
investment.
> Deferred maintenance estimation
> Utilizing a proprietary model, Sightlines will establish a building level deferred maintenance
estimate.
> For campuses with a existing deferred maintenance studies, campuses will submit data and
Sightlines will perform a validation test.
> Deliverable of results
> Sightlines will prepare a Country/regional level analysis in a report, highlighting the existing needs
for APLU/USDA facilities
> Sightlines will prepare and deliver a presentation at an APLU event
> Sightlines will provide each campus with their building specific data and deferred maintenance
estimates

4. Click to Edit Master Title StyleProcess will require collaboration
Input from both facilities and administrative heads
Facilities:
• Take first attempt at
identifying included buildings
• Collect relevant building
information
Administrative head of
Agriculture:
• Review list of building supplied
by facilities
• Identify any exclusions that
need to be made
• Identify and buildings that
aren't included that need to be.
Combine Input for
Building data and
Complete the survey

Parameters to be used in
identifying Included buildings

7. Click to Edit Master Title StyleDefining the included space
> Broadly Defined:
> “Any space involved in teaching, research, and extension related to agriculture
broadly defined”
> Practically Defined:
> Any University owned(i.e. not leased) facilities that fall under that University’s
School of Agriculture and would be eligible for USDA funding.
This may include, but not be limited to:
• Animal Sciences
• Vet schools (if part of school of
ag)
• Environmental Sciences
• Food Science (Nutrition)
• Plant Sciences
• Forestry
• Entymology
• Coastal and Marine Science
• Agriculture & resource
economics
• Textile and Clothing
• Biological and Agricultural
Engineering
• Natural Resources
• Off-site farms/Research Stations
• Owned Extension sites
8. Click to Edit Master Title StyleSome Specification to inclusions
For Off-site Facilities
Include if…
> They are owned or on long –term leases that include university responsibility for
capital improvements
> In the case of residences on farms/research stations, they are occupied by
researchers/caretakers
> In the case of marine/coastal functions, if they are onshore
Exclude if…
> They are leased space with no or minimal capital improvement responsibility
> Residences are rented out to non-university personnel
> They are off-shore facilities(boats, platforms, etc.)
8
9. Click to Edit Master Title StyleSome Specification to inclusions
For Multipurpose Facilities
> Include the entire building
> Building inventory will include a place to indicate approximate
percentage of building dedicated to included functions.
> i.e. Science building A (a four story building) has general science functions on
three floors with one floor of agriculture research. Building will be included, and
it will be indicated that it is 25% included functions

10. Click to Edit Master Title StyleSome Specification to inclusions
Other considerations
> Simple buildings(ones without heat and electricity) will be
included, but noted as such.
> Animal care facilities will be included as long as the animal are
there for the purpose of teaching or research.
> Centralized or regional utility plants will be excluded. (includes
wind farms, solar farms, & traditional utility plants)

12. Click to Edit Master Title StyleData collection approach
12
> 2 major components
> Building inventory
> Online survey
> Building inventory documents will be sent out with survey
invitation, should be completed prior to beginning the
survey
> Survey asks basic institutional questions and allows for
building inventory and existing DM studies/Facilities
condition assessments to be uploaded.
> Survey timeline – 8 weeks
13. Click to Edit Master Title StyleBuilding inventory template
To be filled out by each institution participating in the survey
> Required fields:
> Building name
> Size of building (in Gross Square Feet)
> Building function – Teaching, Research,
Extension, Multi-use
> Building type (complexity)
> Construction year
> Renovation year (if applicable)
> Percent of building dedicated to included
functions

Defining Sightlines’ building functions
15
Building Function Definitions and Examples
Classroom/Teaching
Buildings with classrooms and/or faculty and administrative offices.
Includes libraries.
Sci. Research
Science building with lab space and other research space. Includes
veterinary hospitals/animal care facilities
Extension Buildings dedicated to extension function
Farm/Animal Buildings Barns, animal handling, feed mills, animal quarters, etc.
Greenhouses Glass or plastic greenhouses
Support Facilities buildings, storage garages.
16. Click to Edit Master Title StyleBuilding inventory definitions
Defining Sightlines’ building types based on complexity
16
Building Type Definitions and Examples
Complex
Buildings with complex systems. In addition to heating and cooling, they
have more sophisticated systems like Fume Hoods (>10), reheats,
greater outside air requirements and specilty dehumidification
equipments.
Basic
Buildings with basic systems. Standard Heating and cooling throughout.
Simple Buildings with simple systems. Most often just heating, possibly with
some local cooling.
Non-Utility Buildings without heating and electricity
Small Buildings under 5,000 GSF, with utility service.
17. Click to Edit Master Title StyleBuilding inventory definitions
Splitting out buildings that have had additions over time
17
Buildings that have had additions over time – we want to track the construction
date of the original structure as well as the construction date of each addition
What to do in this situation:
• Enter the original GSF of the building on one line of the building inventory along with
the original construction date
• List any additions as separate lines of the inventory with their respective GSF and
construction dates.
Example: Sightlines Hall is a 30,000 GSF academic building
18. Click to Edit Master Title StyleBuilding inventory definitions
Defining a major renovation
18
Fill out the Renovation Year column for any building that underwent a “major renovation”
Definition of a major renovation:
• A large-scale renovation that cost at least 50% of the building's replacement value
and/or the scope of which involved work done on at least 50% of the building's various
components, resetting their lifecycles.
• More than a basic space renewal renovation that simply modernizes interior finishes
and furnishings - should also include work on mechanical/electrical/HVAC systems, the
building envelope (windows, roof, exterior shell), and/or safety or code projects (ADA
work, asbestos remediation, etc.)
• Example: A building originally constructed in 1910 underwent a renovation in 2011 that
replaced HVAC systems, windows, and completed a full interior modernization. The
building now feels like a 2011-era building. The renovation should be tracked as 2011
in the building inventory.
