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 meters
LEED O+M Gold or the 2nd highest level under another 4- or 5-tier GBC rating system	0 Square meters
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 meters
LEED O+M Silver or at a step above minimum level under another 4 -or 5–tier GBC rating system	0 Square meters
LEED O+M Certified or certified at minimum level under another GBC rating system	0 Square meters

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 meters

Our building automation system controls the space temperature for a vast majority of the campus. We periodically review the metered usage, and when we find significant deviations, begin to investigate potential issues in order to find a timely resolution. We compare usage to previous periods, and account for heating and cooling degree day normalization to further enhance our review.

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:
