Total floor area of building space:

222,406.36 Square meters

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 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:

43,827 Square meters

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

19.71

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:

A brief description of the energy management or benchmarking program:

MacEwan is in the preliminary phase of ISO 50001 Energy Management certification and is an inaugural member of the City of Edmonton Building Energy Benchmarking Program: https://www.edmonton.ca/programs_services/documents/PDF/LBERDPilotProgramSummary.pdf All buildings at the University are participating in our ISO-50001 energy management program. The institution is in process of ISO-50001 Energy Management Certification (anticipated for winter 2018/ spring 2019). Part of that process is setting our baseline for energy which has been done. We now measure against the baseline.

Water Management and Benchmarking
