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.
| 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:

A brief description of how green cleaning is incorporated into cleaning contracts:
Use green chemicals when available. At this time we do not have a written cleaning contracts.
Energy Management and Benchmarking
67.30
A brief description of the energy management or benchmarking program:
CWU has a campus centralized building automation system that controls 67.3% of buildings on campus. This system allows us to trend temperature, occupancy and other essential system points and use this data to move toward better managing the energy used to heat and cool the facilities. We also have electrical meters on most buildings at the feeder level. These meters use sophisticated management software that allows us to trend electricity usages throughout campus. We analyze this electricity data and use it in our process of decision making when manipulating settings for both the lighting control and building automation system over time. This allows for conservation of energy without the compromise of unhappy students and staff from uncomfortable environmental conditions. Additionally this data is used to pinpoint areas on campus that need efficiency renovations.
One of our action plans included digitally displaying electricity usage in two different facilities to encourage students and staff to save energy by allowing them to physically see the energy savings trended on a graph.
CWU does not have clear milestones at this time but instead use this data to know what areas can be better controlled (Lighting and HVAC) to increase efficiency. We have future plans to set goals for individual buildings energy usages and use these forms of technology to track and manipulate the energy usages.
Water Management and Benchmarking
0
A brief description of the water management or benchmarking program:
CWU monitors system make-up water usage across campus using our building automation system. We have trends on most all make up water meters and can compare usage with that of a previous day/time at any time. All systems that contain a large capacity of water get looked at least once a day Mon-Fri. Additionally, some are alarmed with visual alarms that quickly bring leaks to our attention. We often trend these usages and always spend time tracking down leaks to prevent the waste of water.
Our domestic potable water is metered by the City of Ellensburg. The City of Ellensburg monitors and tracks any changes in water usage and notifies Central Washington University immediately at the time of a leak. After notification it is policy that we isolate the leak and take corrective action as soon as possible.
