A brief description of how green cleaning is incorporated into cleaning contracts:
Ohio State operates a streamlined custodial operation through ManageMen’s (OS1)
Program to standardize and modernize the custodial operation while becoming more environmentally friendly and promoting a sustainable, healthy campus. The
program’s “philosophy of cleaning” includes concepts such as clean for health first, minimize environmental harm, and simplify … versus polluting and cleaning solely
for appearance. It minimizes chemical waste and misuse with pre-measured, color coded chemical packets. The OS1 program focuses on the health of the building occupants and the cleaning staff. Environmentally preferable cleaning strategies, procedures, training,
and purchasing guidelines for consumables, tools, and equipment are all part of responsible cleaning. All of the daily-use cleaning chemicals in the OS1 program
have earned the Green Seal Certification or are EPA registered disinfectants.
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:
Each year, Ohio State collects utility data to create an ongoing tracking metric for Carbon Footprint, Energy, and Water for each campus location. The energy utility data includes all electricity, natural gas, and other fuels. This data is then converted into a weather adjusted Energy Utilization Index (EUI), which can be used to see year-over-year trends in utility use.
The university’s Green Build and Energy policy was created in support of the Climate Action Plan for the Columbus Campus; it requires all new construction and major renovations to attain a minimum of LEED Silver certification. The policy also establishes standards for building maintenance and operation to reduce resource use and encourage conservation.
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:
Ohio State’s Sustainability Plan is a comprehensive document that outlines the methodologies to achieve the comprehensive university-wide sustainability efforts. The Sustainability Plan has a focus on a range of topics including the management of water.
Each year, Ohio State collects utility data to create an ongoing tracking metric for Carbon Footprint, Energy, and Water for each campus location. The water utility data includes all potable water use on campus. Ohio State then uses this data along with a weighted campus user calculation to normalize the data, which can be used to see year-over-year trends in water use.
