Total floor area of building space:

942,522 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

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

In 2007, the Facilities Management custodial team was chosen as the recipient of the Green Cleaning Award for Schools and Universities making Delta College the first community college in the nation to receive this recognition. The American School & University Green Cleaning Award recognizes educational institutions for exemplary green cleaning programs defined as one that “goes beyond chemical and equipment choices. It includes policies, procedures, training and shared responsibility that minimize the impact of cleaning on the health of building occupants and staff, and that protect the environment as a whole.” Traditional and caustic cleaning products and processes have been eliminated and/or replaced with environmentally-conscious products, equipment, and processes. Because of the extra wear and tear on educational facilities, we also recognize the long-term benefits of green cleaning on the life-cycle of our fixtures, furnishings, equipment, and buildings. No published program, policy, or contact is available.

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:

The college operates two energy management systems, Trane and American Auto Matrix. Each controls and monitors various mechanical systems throughout campus and two campus centers. Systems have the ability to control room temperatures, air volume, lighting, and the equipment that deliver each.

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:

The college tracks the number of gallons to fill the campus water tower, generally on a daily basis. Water usage is tracked on cooling towers, boilers, and swimming pool. Domestic cold water chlorine levels are tested and documented regularly. Numerous backflow preventers (RPZ), installed to protect the system, are inspected annually.
