Total floor area of building space:

1,625,626 Square feet

O+M Certified Space

Building space must be certified under a rating system focusing on the operations and maintenance of existing buildings (e.g. LEED O+M) to count as certified space for this credit. Sustainability in new construction and major renovation projects (e.g. LEED BD+C certification) is covered in the Building Design and Construction credit.

Floor area of building space that is certified at each level under a green building rating system for the operations and maintenance of existing buildings used by an Established Green Building Council:

	Certified Floor Area
LEED O+M Platinum or the highest achievable level under another GBC rating system	0 Square feet
LEED O+M Gold or the 2nd highest level under another 4- or 5-tier GBC rating system	0 Square feet
Certified at mid-level under a 3- or 5-tier GBC rating system (e.g. BREEAM-In Use, CASBEE for Existing Buildings, DGNB, Green Star Performance)	0 Square feet
LEED O+M Silver or at a step above minimum level under another 4 -or 5–tier GBC rating system	125,600 Square feet
LEED O+M Certified or certified at minimum level under another GBC rating system	0 Square feet

Floor area of building space that is certified under a non-GBC rating system for the operations and maintenance of existing buildings, e.g. BOMA BESt, Green Globes CIEB:

0 Square feet

Percentage of building space certified under a green building rating system for the operations and maintenance of existing buildings:

7.73

If reporting certified space, provide:

A brief description of the green building rating system(s) used and/or a list or sample of certified buildings and ratings:

In 2007, the Albion College science complex was awarded silver certification under the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system. The science complex includes Palenske Hall, Putnam Hall, and Norris Center, all constructed in 1969 and totally renovated in 2005 and 2006, and Kresge Hall, constructed in 2005. In 2007, the science complex was only the third science facility in the state to have earned LEED certification.

If reporting uncertified space, provide the following:

Energy Management and Benchmarking

Of the institution's uncertified building space, what percentage of floor area is maintained in accordance with an energy management or benchmarking program? (0-100):

A brief description of the energy management or benchmarking program:

Building temperatures are 72 in the occupied mode and 55-60 in unoccupied. The times for these modes vary on building and space. We do have sensors that turn the HVAC systems from occupied mode to unoccupied in the labs of Palenske, Putnam, and Kresge science.

Water Management and Benchmarking

Of the institution's uncertified building space, what percentage of floor area is maintained in accordance with a water management or benchmarking program? (0-100):

A brief description of the water management or benchmarking program:

Unknown so far
