Total floor area of building space:

1,830,991 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	0 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:

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:

---

If reporting uncertified space, provide the following:

Uncertified Space

Indoor Air Quality Management

Of the institution's uncertified building space, what percentage of floor area is maintained in accordance with a published indoor air quality (IAQ) management policy or protocol? (0-100):

100

A copy of the IAQ management policy or protocol:

CNM IAQ Program.pdf

The website URL where the IAQ policy/protocol may be found:

Green Cleaning

Of the institution's uncertified building space, what percentage of floor area is maintained in accordance with a published green cleaning policy, program or contract ? (0-100):

100

A copy or the green cleaning policy:

MO Green Cleaning Process_Final.pdf

A brief description of how green cleaning is incorporated into cleaning contracts:

All vendors and contractors are required to follow CNM standards and policies, including those that relate to cleaning products. However, cleaning is handled in-house, and so this policy is already integral to operations.

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:

Energy Guidelines are here: https://www.cnm.edu/depts/hr/current-employees/policies-and-procedures/the-source/is-1420 Electric Submeters have been installed in all buildings and kWh are being tracked and recorded by our Alterton Compass System. This data is available to the Sustainability Project Manager and other Physical Plant Staff. It will be further refined by our upcoming dashboards by LUCID company (PO in progress) and at which point, available to the public (analytics available internally). Currently, data is reported to internal and external stakeholders on an as-needed basis, primarily for emissions reporting, sizing solar facilities, utility loads for individual buildings,commissioning and recommissioning projects/purposes/goals. Gas and water submeters are to be implemented in the next fiscal year (2020).

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):

41.30

A brief description of the water management or benchmarking program:

LEED requires that all buildings seeking LEED Certification must water consumption that is 20% less than baselines (as determined by EPAct of 1992). All LEED Certified Buildings (41.3 percent) require bench-marking and reporting. The EPA Energy Star is the program used for fixtures in order to reduce indoor water usage. Management and analysis, is further handled in Energy Start Portfolio (this has been somewhat problematic as not all buildings are sub-metered and so just report figures based on main meters. Sub-metering was not required by LEED until v4, so a bit of an unintended contradiction). Nonetheless, water management and reduction is a fundamental aspect of the LEED program that the institution must follow for newly constructed and renovated buildings. Currently the entire campus is also under review by teh Albuquerque-Bernalillo County Water Utility Authority (ABCWUA) to identify meters that may be miscalculating flows and for any other discrepancies that may be related to infrastructure and metering.
