"---" indicates that no data was submitted for this field

Total floor area of building space:

802,800 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

Percentage of building space certified under a green building rating system for the operations and maintenance of existing buildings:

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):

A brief description of the energy management or benchmarking program:

Most buildings are controlled by an energy management system. Automated Logic's Energy Reports system is used to track electricity and/or natural gas use in Cole Science, Dakin Dorms, Dining Commons, Franklin Patterson Hall, Johnson Library, Merrill Dorms, Robert Crown Center, and RW Kern Center. These eight buildings total 354,000 sq.ft.

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):

A brief description of the water management or benchmarking program:

Automated Logic's WebCtrl system is used to track water use in Dining Commons, Johnson Library, Merrill Dorms, Robert Crown Center, and RW Kern Center. These five buildings total 185,000 sq.ft.

Data source(s) and notes about the submission:

Uncertified space: The newly-constructed RW Kern Center (17,000 sf) has achieved net-zero energy in its first year of operation. Although this was during the performance year, the building was not yet certified, and does not meet the criteria. IAQ management: The RW Kern Center (17,000 sf) was built to Living Building Challenge imperatives, including very stringent testing for particulates and VOCs, as well as CO2, CO, humidity, and temperature. The building was tested pre and post occupancy. However, we do not meet the criteria because there is no official mechanism for occupants to register complaints. Green cleaning: we do not have a published green cleaning policy, program or contract. But after selecting a vendor for green cleaning products that met ILFI's "Red List" criteria for the Kern Center, Hampshire College elected to use Earth Sense products campus-wide. We do not meet the criteria because it is not a written policy. Hampshire College worked closely with the Town of Amherst, and sister institutions Amherst College and the University of Massachusetts, to conserve and track water use during an extreme drought period (summer and fall 2017).
