"---" indicates that no data was submitted for this field

Total floor area of building space:

1,106,011 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:

If reporting uncertified space, provide the following:

Uncertified Space

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):

A copy or the green cleaning policy:

---

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

Per our Custodial Manager: The College's custodial employees are trained annually (or as needed) by outside entities, EA Morse and LTC Distributors. Training consist in proper measuring and disposal of cleaning materials and containers. Four Kiavac hands-free restroom cleaners are used in "high germ areas" i.e. Phys. Ed, Bio Tech & RCSE(science labs mostly) and our Lab School buildings. A Green Seal Certified restroom cleaner is used in the Kiavac. A Green Seal Certified cleaning product known as, Clean-by-Peroxy, by Spartan, is used everywhere else. Microfiber towels are cleaned and reused and all of our paper products are recycled.

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):

A brief description of the energy management or benchmarking program:

The College utilizes campus wide energy management software. Per our Director of Facilities: The energy management system is used to monitor/control temperature settings in the Heating and cooling systems. It senses temperatures and adjusts buildings to be at the most efficient point. It also automatically lowers temp when building usage is down such as overnight and weekends. Review of the data is part of decision making related to where some classes are housed in the summer months; i.e older buildings (Hudson and Harriman halls) are, or have been, vacated during the summer months due to their high energy use in hot weather. Regular assessment guides other changes in building use; i.e. the current plans for moving Facilities and Security out of a stone building (former Mansion stable) to the soon-to-be updated Shepard Student Center building. The software data, along with annually gathered energy use data, assist in monitoring campus energy usage and allow for calculations of greenhouse gas emissions which have set goals; i.e. the College's GHGE reduction goals of a 25% GHGE reduction by 2024.

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):
