A brief description of the sustainable building operations and maintenance program and/or a list or sample of buildings covered:
Systems and materials incorporated into all buildings should be selected on the basis of
long term operations and maintenance costs. The design should incorporate ease and
efficiency of operation and allow for easy and cost effective maintenance and repair.
Standardization of equipment, parts, and lamps is also the key to reducing maintenance
costs and allows for stocking of common replacement parts. Sample buildings covered: Interdisciplinary Life Sciences Building, Agricultural Headquarters Building, and the Memorial Student Center. Each building is cleaned and maintained according to commonly accepted sustainability practices, and following these principles improves the buildings performance while enhancing the occupant’s health, satisfaction and personal performance. It is an integrated approach in which all phases of the building life cycle are considered.
A brief description of how the institution ensures compliance with sustainable building operation and maintenance guidelines and policies:
The university building operation and maintenance support services are continually refining a comprehensive PM Program. By identifying the critical function requirements of building systems, and prioritizing equipment components for inclusion in PM cycles, we will be able to effectively work on reducing equipment life-cycle uncertainty and complexity and systematize the procedures we use, and the overall approach we take to maintaining healthier and more resource efficient structures on campus.
