A brief description of the sustainable operations and maintenance policy/program and/or O+M rating system(s) used:
The Building Energy Performance Program, created through Building Energy Performance Policy and sometimes referred to as “Building Tune-ups," aims to achieve efficient energy and water use in the largest non-residential buildings in Philadelphia.
Non-residential buildings with at least 50,000 square feet of indoor floor space must comply with the policy.
Buildings have three options for compliance. They can:
- Conduct a “tune-up” of existing building systems.
- Certify high performance.
Temple University has chosen the first compliance option, conduct a "tune-up".If conducting tune-ups, building owners must hire approved tune-up specialists to lead their building system assessments and sign off on tune-up reports. To be approved, tune-up specialists must:
- Have a Professional Engineer (PE) or Certified Energy Manager (CEM) license.
- Have seven years of related education and experience.
- Submit an application to the Office of Sustainability.
