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

Total floor area of building space:

2,169,920 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:

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:

Seattle University has a Resource Conservation Manager that collects all monthly utility data from utilities and enters them into a database to analyze trends and identify and implement projects that will reduce water and energy consumption. Buildings are benchmarked versus similar building types and versus past historical data, including accounting for weather patterns. We also collect interval data for our largest sites to analyze building load profiles to reduce energy consumption during off hours and implement demand response programs. Seattle University uploads all energy data to Portfolio Manager and reports to the City of Seattle. Lastly, SU benchmarks energy and water consumption versus other universities.

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:

Seattle University has a Resource Conservation Manager that collects all monthly utility data from utilities and enters them into a database to analyze trends and identify and implement projects that will reduce water and energy consumption. Seattle University installed low-flow shower heads and aerators throughout the entire campus in 2017 and upgraded irrigation controls around campus. Lastly, SU benchmarks energy and water consumption versus other universities.
