Total floor area of building space:

1,016,163 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:

If reporting certified space, provide:

A brief description of the green building rating system(s) used and/or a list or sample of certified buildings and ratings:

LVC has one building in operation (Mund) that is LEED certified and has recently completed construction on a second building that is presently in the process of receiving LEED Silver certification. All building energy use data is submitted for review and benchmark comparison to peer institutions via Sightlines www.sightlines.com. We also benchmark our energy use per square foot to the latest Commercial Buildings Energy Consumption Survey (CBECS) data. These are the same benchmarks incorporated into the ENERGY STAR rating system through the DOE. LVC has consistently operated its buildings more efficiently than our peer institutions and below the CBECS average for higher ed institutions.

If reporting uncertified space, provide the following:

A copy or the green cleaning policy:

Green Cleaning Guidelines.docx

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

All materials used must be Green Seal or UL ECOLOGO certified and/or Safer Choice labeled

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:

LVC benchmarks energy use with peer institutions via Sightlines Inc. Each year energy use metrics and maintenance operations are compared to similar institutions. LVC is consistently a top performer in the cohort. Additionally, LVC uses CBECS data to benchmark Energy Use Intensity (EUI) on a regional basis.

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:

Water data is collected for all campus buildings and irrigation wells. Trend reports are maintained via our Sightlines Inc reports. We have a water conservation policy in place and utilize waterless urinals throughout campus as well as low flow toilets and shower heads.
