A brief description of how the institution ensures compliance with sustainable building operation and maintenance guidelines and policies:
The OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE (OM) and UTILITIES units within Facilities and Operations (FO) are primarily responsible for ensuring compliance with the university’s Building Operations and Maintenance Practices and Guidelines. These units guide and inform a team of engineers, technologists, project managers, estimators, operators, and trades people to act as stewards of operational sustainability at the University of Alberta.
BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS SERVICES
http://www.facilities.ualberta.ca/en/Operations_Maintenance_FO/BGS.aspx
Buildings and Grounds Services (BGS) within OM is further organized into three distinct areas, each with a Facilities Services Manager that supervises their area and provides coordination between BGS and other campus service providers.
ENERGY MANAGEMENT AND SUSTAINABLE OPERATIONS
http://www.facilities.ualberta.ca/en/Operations_Maintenance_FO/EMSO.aspx
Energy Management and Sustainable Operations (EMSO) works to minimize the University of Alberta’s impact on the environment by leading the Energy Management Program and acting as a central collaborator with the other units within FO to advance sustainability in Operations.
FACILITIES AND OPERATIONS SUSTAINABILITY COMMITTEE
The Facilities and Operations Sustainability Committee exists to provide another point of collaboration among the diverse staff and management responsible for Planning and Project Delivery, Utilities, Operations and Maintenance, Buildings and Grounds Services, Ancillary Services, and our satellite campuses, and to advance sustainability in university operations.
