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	0 Square feet
LEED O+M Certified or certified at minimum level under another GBC rating system	0 Square feet

In attempt to reduce the exposure of students, faculty and staff including maintenance personnel to potentially hazardous chemicals, biological and particulate contaminants, all CSU Bakersfield janitorial entities use green cleaning products without an offical green cleaning policy, program or contract. These products include: STRIDE, a neutral floor cleaner; PERDIEM -HP, a hydrogen peroxide all purpose cleaner; BREAKDOWN, an odor control with enzymes; and CREW NA Disinfectant, a bathroom cleaner.

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):

100

A brief description of the energy management or benchmarking program:

As part of the 2014 CSU Sustainability policy, CSU Bakersfield tracks, and manages campus energy use for the entire university in order to evaluate opportunities for conservation programs and to ensure that buildings are operating efficiently. Before the 2014 policy, CSUB “Flipped the Switch” on its all-new solar panels in 2011. The $9.5 million project was paid for by SunEdison, part of a public-private partnership with 15 CSU campuses to build solar power projects. The 1-megawatt system provides 25 to 30 percent of CSUB’s total energy usage.

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):

100

A brief description of the water management or benchmarking program:

As part of the 2014 CSU Sustainability policy, Cal Poly tracks, and manages campus water use for the entire university. CSUB uses a smart irrigation system which reduces water by at least 30% each year. The system automatically adjusting water usage based on weather conditions, soil moisture and broken pipes. The system also allows us to manage the irrigation during events to make sure the sprinklers are turned off.
