A brief description of the sustainable operations and maintenance policy/program and/or O+M rating system(s) used:
Goizueta Business School (122,000 sq.ft.) is LEED O+M Gold certified.
Emory also developed its own internal operations and maintenance program. The award-winning Sustainable Performance Program (SPP) is an ongoing commissioning program that was implemented to protect Emory’s investment in new construction commissioning and existing building retro-commissioning. The SPP utilizes processes intended to sustain and continuously improve the system performance and energy usage of a facility over time. 31 buildings are part of the SPP as of 2023, totaling 4.3 million square feet. Cumulative savings since the program's inception are estimated to be $6,645,000.
Additionally, Emory has four buildings certified under BOMA's 360 Performance Program. They include:
- Alumni Memorial University Center: 67,928.58 sq.ft.
- Boisfeuillet Jones Building: 42,146.80 sq.ft.
- North Decatur Building: 135,301.10 sq.ft.
- Emory Student Center: 115,000 sq.ft.
These four buildings are also managed under Emory's Sustainable Performance Program but have not been double-counted.
