A brief description of how the institution ensures compliance with sustainable building operation and maintenance guidelines and policies:

While Stanford has not formally pursued LEED-EBOM certification for any of its existing buildings, a comprehensive LEED-EBOM (2009) equivalency analysis was completed in 2011. The results of that study confirm universal certified-level equivalency with many buildings operating equivalent to a LEED-EBOM silver, gold, or even platinum performance.

At Stanford there are three major groups within the Land, Buildings, and Real Estate organization that work together to ensure sustainable building operation and maintenance: Sustainability and Energy Management (http://lbre.stanford.edu/sem/sem_who_we_are), Zone Management (http://bgm.stanford.edu/groups/zones/index), and Buildings & Grounds Maintenance (http://bgm.stanford.edu/).

The following examples showcase the number of relevant programs that contribute to sustainable building operations and align with LEED-EBOM criteria:
