A brief description of the sustainable operations and maintenance policy/program and/or O+M rating system(s) used:
As such, all of the square footages included in the “Operated in accordance with a multi-attribute green building code, policy, guideline, or rating system, but not certified/verified” include all major facility projects at Coastal Carolina University that have been built OR renovated since 2007 (see attached documentation). The square footage categorized as "Operated and maintained in accordance with a single-attribute, sustainable management policy/program, but not certified under an O+M rating system" are buildings that were built prior to 2007 and have not been renovated.
In addition to operating buildings at the standard to which it was originally designed and certified, ALL buildings (multi- & single-attribute) are maintained and operated using an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Plan and green cleaning procedures (see attached for more details). Additionally for each building, the Facilities Planning and Management Department has applied a layered approach utilizing multiple control strategies to improve air quality and minimize risk of transmission of COVID-19 indoors. Strategies include increasing the amount of outdoor air to be introduced inside buildings, inspection of CO2 sensors, HVAC filter maintenance, and adjusting temperature set points. Staff monitor systems to ensure they are operating properly. CCU actively manages and tracks its water and energy usage through platforms such as Energy Manager.
