A brief description of the green building rating system(s) used and/or a list of certified buildings and ratings:
Sheridan’s Hazel McCallion Mississauga campus (HMC; 159,038 ft2), which was constructed in the 2011/2012 fiscal year, has been awarded LEED Gold. Sheridan College is building all new buildings to at least LEED Gold with an energy performance similar to German A-rated buildings (<100 ekWh/m2/year). This information includes only buildings that were constructed within the last 5 years and does not include renovated space. Renovations are done in accordance with the energy efficiency guidelines provided in the IECMP, sustainability policy, and sustainability procedures. Davis C Wing Infill (46,849) Davis A Wing (131,126) Trafalgar Residence 2 + Conference Centre (186,013) HMC1 (159,038) HMC2 (237,990)

If reporting uncertified projects, provide:

369,116 Square feet

If reporting published green building guidelines or policies, provide the following:

A copy of the green building guidelines or policies :
The green building guidelines or policies:
Davis A-Wing and HMC2 were both constructed with the high energy efficiency standards laid out in IECMP and the sustainability policy.

Do the green building guidelines or policies cover the following?:
Yes or No
Impacts on the surrounding site (e.g. guidelines to reuse previously developed land, protect environmentally sensitive areas, and otherwise minimize site impacts) Yes
Energy consumption (e.g. policies requiring a minimum level of energy efficiency for buildings and their systems) Yes
Building-level energy metering Yes
Use of environmentally preferable materials (e.g. guidelines to minimize the life cycle impacts associated with building materials) Yes
Indoor environmental quality (i.e. guidelines to protect the health and comfort of building occupants) Yes
Water consumption (e.g. requiring minimum standards of efficiency for indoor and outdoor water use) Yes
Building-level water metering Yes

A brief description of the green building guidelines or policies and/or a list or sample of buildings covered:
This includes all buildings constructed in the last 5 years, except C-Wing infill. Sheridan College passed a revised Sustainability Policy and new Policy Procedures on September 9, 2014. The Procedures states: Energy performance of new or substantially-renovated buildings will exceed LEED Gold, aligning instead with German A-Rated levels. Any RFP should specify energy end-use to meet a 12-month average, specific end-use energy performance index (in typical operation for a typical year) between 70 ekWh/m2 - 100 ekWh/m2.
