PURPOSE OF PUBLICATION

This Facility Criteria publication, UFC 2-000-05N was formerly designated as NAVFAC P-80 under the same title. It provides the space planning factors, criteria and techniques for use in developing Basic Facility Requirement (BFR) calculations and assessments. Establishing the BFR provides the space demand or support requirement for shore-based facilities, by category code, necessary to perform the peacetime missions of Navy shore activities. A BFR justification is the calculation of an installation, command, or region's facilities allowances based upon established planning criteria. The BFR calculation can be modified (with justification) to accommodate site-specific or unit-specific loading requirements, such as mission, personnel, functions and equipment.

BFRs encompass entire functional categories of use, such as administrative offices, general warehouses or public works shops, for both host and tenant commands. For each of the activity's functional categories, if the sum of all current assets assigned to that category code is greater than the calculated requirement in the BFR, there is a surplus of space; if it is less, there is a deficiency. BFRs should be updated periodically and must be updated when there is a change in loading or a change in mission.

The purpose of this publication is to present the specific criteria and algorithms used to prepare BFRs for different categories of functional uses.
