Total floor area of building space:
120,233 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:
0 Square meters

Percentage of building space certified under a green building rating system for the operations and maintenance of existing buildings:
0

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:
The manager of the Energy and HVAC sector of the Buildings and major development projects Department is in charge of monitoring the consumption of water and energy for both buildings. The meter reading for the consumption of water and natural gas is done every day. The level of oil and diesel tanks is also read and recorded daily. Once a month, water meters for several processes, such as closed networks and water towers, are also read. The head of the sector groups the data once a month into Excel files. Fields to provide explanations for observed differences from historical data are present. The changes made are thus detailed. Thus, for energy consumption, the data tracked are: - monthly electricity consumption of each of the two buildings; - daily consumption of fossil fuels for heating purposes: o consumption of natural gas; o consumption of fuel oil # 2 (oil); - steam production and daily calculation of boiler efficiency; - delivery of diesel for the operation of the generators; The area of ​​buildings is also confirmed each year, and consumption is standardized according to the degree-day. For water consumption, the collected data are: - city water consumption for both buildings; - consumption of gray water recovered from the roof of Pavillons Lassonde. Petrol and diesel fuel consumption of Polytechnique's vehicles are also noted and compiled annually. These files are transfered once a year to the Sustainability Office for the redaction of the annual sustainability report and on-line monitoring.

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:
The manager of the Energy and HVAC sector of the Property Management department is in charge of monitoring the consumption of water and energy for both buildings. The meter reading for the consumption of water and natural gas is performed daily. The level of oil and diesel tanks is also read and recorded daily. Once a month, water meters for several processes, such as closed loops and water towers, are also read. The head of the sector assembles the data once a month into Excel files. Fields to enter explanations for observed differences from historical data are provided. The changes made are thus detailed. Thus, for energy consumption, the data tracked are: - monthly electricity consumption of each of the two buildings; - daily consumption of fossil fuels for heating purposes: o consumption of natural gas; o consumption of fuel oil # 2 (oil); - steam production and daily calculation of boiler efficiency; - delivery of diesel for the operation of the generators; The total building area is also confirmed each year, and consumption is standardized according to the degree-day. For water consumption, the collected data are: - city water consumption for both buildings; - consumption of gray water recovered from the roof of the Lassonde buildings. Petrol and diesel fuel consumption of Polytechnique's vehicles are also noted and compiled annually. These files are transferred once a year to the Sustainability Office for reporting in the annual sustainability report and for on-line monitoring.
