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.
| 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 |

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.
Energy Management and Benchmarking
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.
Water Management and Benchmarking
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.
