Total floor area of building space:

1,760,588.24 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:

Green Cleaning

Of the institution's uncertified building space, what percentage of floor area is maintained in accordance with a published green cleaning policy, program or contract ? (0-100):

100

A copy or the green cleaning policy:

---

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

We do not have a green cleaning policy. However, the ITM conducts the following activities: • Employee training for gardening staff in the handling of chemicals and disposal of hazardous solid waste. • We use the organic fertilizer generated from the institution’s organic waste, thus reducing the amount of agrochemicals purchased. • The institution has sustainable purchasing policies for purchasing cleaning and gardening supplies that have a lower environmental impact.

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:

We have a program for the rational use of energy in order to study our demand, uses, and consumption habits. Also, we monitor our consumption of electrical energy. Based on this information, we implement strategies to use electricity efficiently.

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:

We have a program for the rational use of water whose objective is to provide a general diagnosis of the water consumption of three ITM campuses: Robledo, Fraternidad and Floresta. With information obtained from the utility bills and the number of students and employees, we calculate the water consumption per person. Likewise, with the information obtained, we design water saving mechanisms, communication campaigns and environmental education.
