Floor area of existing buildings individually assessed for energy performance:
Narrative outlining how building-level energy performance is assessed and how the results are used to improve performance:
The Sustainability Coordinator monitors building energy use and performance each month. We do not have an energy dashboard or other way to obtain energy and electricity data from all of our buildings at shorter intervals. Most buildings have individual meters and gauges so that monitoring happens at the building level as much as possible with our utility providers. We try to conserve energy in buildings that are less occupied at certain times of the year. For example, the college residence halls are put in "dormant" mode over winter and summer breaks so that their energy use is minimized. In addition, if certain classrooms are not being used during a specific term, we minimize the energy use in these spaces.
Floor area of existing buildings individually assessed for indoor environmental quality (IEQ) performance:
Narrative outlining how building-level IEQ is assessed and how the results are used to improve performance:
We have a gear warehouse for Adventure Education trips evaluated for its IEQ performance as it is a popular space for students and patrons going on trips. Previous assessments have uncovered no problems, so no active improvements have been necessary.
Floor area of existing buildings managed or individually assessed for water performance:
Online location of the institution’s minimum standards for water efficient fixtures, fittings, and equipment:
Copy of the institution’s minimum standards for water efficient fixtures, fittings, and equipment:
Narrative outlining how building-level water performance is assessed and how the results are used to improve performance:
The Sustainability Coordinator examines the water use of all buildings each month. Cross-comparing from previous years, the coordinator observes irregular water use and reports them to Facilities in case of, for example, a leak. In one instance, a residence building had a spike of several times the normal water use from its monthly projection. After reporting to Facilities, a leak was found and promptly fixed.

List of the institution’s existing buildings and their green building certifications:
