A brief description of the sustainable operations and maintenance policy/program and/or O+M rating system(s) used:
Dallas College aspires to achieve Net Zero Energy use at all its facilities by 2050. Net zero energy buildings are powered by renewable energy that is generated onsite. According to the Department of Energy, “a zero-energy building produces enough renewable energy to meet its own annual energy consumption requirements, thereby reducing the use of nonrenewable energy in the building sector.” Dallas College framework to Net Zero includes 10 steps for Existing Buildings and 10 steps for New Buildings. https://www.dallascollege.edu/about/sustainability/resources/pages/ten-steps-net-zero.aspx
Dallas College has created a checklist of Facilities Sustainability Best Practices in areas of Energy Efficiency, Water Conservation, Roofs, Energy Star certified Purchasing, Recycling, Building Controls, and Sustainability Signage. https://www.dcccd.edu/about/sustainability/resources/pages/best-practices.aspx
