A brief description of the sustainable operations and maintenance policy/program and/or O+M rating system(s) used:
Energy Management: Haverford uses Atrius Energy, a web-based control and energy management system to manage electricity usage across campus. The system enables more efficient energy usage management specific to each building. The reporting tool can generate logs and comparisons between buildings; every year the Committee for Environmental Responsibility, a student-led group, uses the system to carry out a month-long competition between residential buildings on campus. Community members can use the website to learn about energy usage and change their own habits. The public website is below.
