A brief description of the sustainable operations and maintenance policy/program and/or O+M rating system(s) used:
CSUSM operates and maintains all buildings with a keen focus on energy efficiency, water conservation, indoor environmental quality, and responsible waste management. Additionally, the university follows Executive Order 987 from the California State University Chancellor's Office that establishes guidelines for operating and maintaining existing buildings to be efficient, healthy spaces for all learners.

Sustainable Building Practices:
Existing building energy performance will be optimized through improved operation, maintenance and repair, and capital improvement, enabling campuses to meet carbon reduction goals. Sustainable design for capital projects is a process of balancing long-term institutional needs for academic and related programs with environmental concerns. In the context of designing to provide for university and academic needs, the following attributes will be considered "sustainable:"
Siting and design considerations that optimize local geographic features to improve sustainability of the project, such as proximity to public transportation and maximizing use of vistas, microclimate, and prevailing winds;
Durable systems and finishes with long life cycles that minimize maintenance and replacement.
Optimization of layouts and designing spaces that can be reconfigured with the expectation that the facility will be renovated and re-used (versus demolished);
Systems designed for optimization of energy, water, and other natural resources;
Optimization of indoor environmental quality for occupants;
Utilization of environmentally preferable products and processes, such as long life-cycle materials and components, recycled-content and recyclable materials;
Procedures that monitor, trend, and report operational performance as compared to the optimal design and operating parameters.
Cost-effective design features which algin with CSU Basic Needs Initiative and support campus diversity, equity and inclusion efforts. (04-Adopt; 14-Move, 22-Return & Revise)
