Total floor area of building space:

2,567,609 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:

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:

SRU monitors total campus energy use through the annual PASSHE Utility Usage Report provided to each state system university by the Penn State Facilities Engineering Institute. This report includes data on each type of energy used (reported in mmBTU/year for each fuel type), as well as the Student Population and the Gross Square Feet of buildings in the PASSHE inventory for SRU. An Energy Utilization Index is calculated for use in benchmarking with other universities. We also track and report on energy use per student as another benchmark. SRU is currently upgrading its building metering and Building Automation System software to facilitate detailed analyses of our energy use on a building-by-building basis.

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:

SRU monitors total campus water and sewage use through the annual PASSHE Utility Usage Report provided to each state system university by the Penn State Facilities Engineering Institute. This report includes data on water and sewage used, as well as the Student Population and the Gross Square Feet of building in the PASSHE inventory for SRU. This allows us to use MGallons/GSF-Year and MGallons/Student-year for use in benchmarking with other universities. SRU is also upgrading its building metering and Building Automation System software to facilitate detailed analyses of our water use on a building-by-building basis.
