Total floor area of building space:

2,413,802 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 the energy management or benchmarking program:

Eastern's Energy Dashboard tracks the electricity usage of the majority of campus buildings. Eastern’s Energy Dashboard is a tool used by Facilities Management & Planning, students and contract consultants to gather information related to electrical consumption of campus buildings. The dashboard provides data on the total energy consumed off of the substation serving the campus. Buildings are individually metered and report data to the dashboard continuously. The facilities staff uses the data to monitor the performance of buildings, it is used as a tool in our retro-commissioning processes, as well as to trouble shoot issues related to energy consumption. The dashboard has also been used to conduct contests amongst residence halls to see which hall can achieve the highest energy savings over a given period. The dashboard also reports the energy produced, low and high grade hot water produced and gas flow rate of the Fuel Cell located at the Science Building. We regularly monitor the fuel cell to ensure that it is performing as specified. The dashboard also reports on the carbon footprint related to the energy use at each building. The dashboard can be used to trend building energy performance over specified periods of time as specified by the user. We use it to measure the effects of our retro-commissioning efforts.
