Total floor area of building space:

16,284,867 Square feet

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.

Floor area of building space that is certified at each level under a green building rating system for the operations and maintenance of existing buildings used by an Established Green Building Council:

	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

Floor area of building space that is certified under a non-GBC rating system for the operations and maintenance of existing buildings, e.g. BOMA BESt, Green Globes CIEB:

0 Square feet

Percentage of building space certified under a green building rating system for the operations and maintenance of existing buildings:

Of the institution's uncertified building space, what percentage of floor area is maintained in accordance with a published green cleaning policy, program or contract ? (0-100):

100

A copy or the green cleaning policy:

UCB_GreenCleaning Policy.pdf

A brief description of how green cleaning is incorporated into cleaning contracts:

Campus buildings are maintained and cleaned by in-house staff or contractors following these guidelines.

Energy Management and Benchmarking

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:

All main campus buildings and buildings connected to the campus central plant are managed by Facilities Services through an electronic system, Obvious. The system helps UC Berkeley facilities operators monitor energy use in each building and quickly identify anomalies and malfunctions that can be corrected to conserve energy. The campus has set itself a goal of reducing energy use intensity by 2 percent annually, and it uses Obvious to manage day-to-day progress toward that goal. Additionally, more than 100 campus buildings are connected to public facing dashboards: https://sustainability.berkeley.edu/energy-dashboards

Water Management and Benchmarking

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:

The campus maintains over 180 water accounts and meters with the local water utility East Bay Municipal Utility District. Water data is collected annually and reported, and issues are researched as needed. These digital meters allow Facilities Services to monitor usage online and respond to leaks more quickly. The campus has set itself a goal of reducing potable water use to 10% below 2008 levels by 2020, which the water metering system helps the campus monitor progress toward. The campus also has an extensive drought management program ongoing: https://facilities.berkeley.edu/drought-response
