University of Central Florida
OP-11: Sustainable Procurement

LCCA's are performed for all new buildings & major renovations. For example: UCF Design & Construction Standards CN23-1: A 25 year Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA) must be provided for the mechanical systems for each project as required by Florida Statutes and the Florida Building Code. At least three (3) schemes must be included in the analysis. One (1) of the schemes considered must be a central system, such as the campus district cooling loop. The three schemes must be presented to the UCF Director of Utilities & Energy Services for review. The scheme having the lowest total life cycle cost will usually be installed. Green Roof Consideration: CNC-4: Implementation of a modular green roof and associated storm and condensate water capture must be considered and evaluated for all new University buildings. The decision to proceed with the design and development of the green roof, including additional requirements, will be made at the Advanced Schematic Design phase. Costs associated with the green roof must be presented to the UCF Project Manager for review. The evaluation must include the following requirements: • The cost for the enhanced structure and roof mem- brane required for the green roof and associated walkways and safety features. • The cost for the actual green roof system, apart from the other building elements, including instal- lation. • The effects of the green roof on the building’s roo ng and drainage system, especially the roof warranty. • The cost for any associated storm water system that may be required. • The cost for the long-term maintenance of the green roof. • A detailed summary of all costs for the proposed green roof system to quantify a total cost. • A life cycle cost analysis using the total cost and the total energy savings.

Green Cleaning Policy FSP 2017 FO0012 Green Cleaning Practices contribute to a building’s level of LEED certification. They reduce the exposure of building occupants and maintenance personnel to potentially hazardous chemicals and biological and particulate contaminants, which adversely affect air quality, human health, building finishes, building systems, and the environment. This policy applies to all cleaning procedures, cleaning material and equipment purchases, and cleaning contractor services that occur inside and on the building site. Specifically, this policy covers the following: 1. The tracking plan for cleaning product and cleaning equipment purchases 2. Hard floor and carpet cleaning and maintenance 3. Protection of vulnerable occupants during cleaning 4. Hand hygiene 5. Safe storage and handling of cleaning chemicals, including spill management 6. Using chemical concentrates 7. Staffing and training plans 8. Provisions for collecting occupant feedback and continuous improvement to evaluate new technologies, procedures, and processes 9. Tracking plan for staffing and overall performance 10. Purchasing guidelines: sustainability criteria for cleaning products and materials 11. Sustainability criteria for cleaning equipment 12. Internal quality assurance and quality control processes Facilities & Safety Sustainable Purchasing Procedure (FS 2013 FO0006) Where product will not compromise performance and quality of service: Purchase biodegradable, phosphate-free, and citrus-based products

UCF Design & Construction Standards CN1-1: All projects shall abide by the University Energy Sustainability Policy 3-111.1. This policy requires that all projects achieve a minimum LEED Silver certification and earn specific LEED credits (which have specific material requirements). Green Building Construction and Renovation Requirements To obtain LEED for New Construction certification, 14 credits related to air quality, energy efficiency, and water usage are mandatory: LT Surrounding Density and Diverse Uses LT Green Vehicles SS Site Development - Protect or Restore Habitat SS Open Space SS Rainwater Management SS Heat Island Reduction SS Light Pollution Reduction SS Site Master Plan WE Outdoor Water Use Reduction WE Indoor Water Use Reduction WE Water Metering EA Enhanced Commissioning EA Optimized Energy Performance EA Advanced Energy Metering EA Enhanced Refrigerant Management EA Green Power and Carbon Offsets MR Construction and Demolition Waste Management EQ Enhanced Indoor Air Quality Strategies EQConstruction Indoor Air Quality Management Plan EQ Indoor Air Quality Assessment EQ Credit Thermal Comfort These credits contain specific material and protocol requirements. In addition, the following material procurement standards are listed in Facilities & Safety Sustainable Purchasing Procedure (FS 2013 FO0006): Post-consumer and/or 20% post-industrial material Salvaged material from off-site or outside the organization Salvaged material from on-site, through an internal materials and equipment reuse program Rapidly renewable material (e.g., bamboo, cork, cotton, wool) Materials harvested, extracted, and processed within 500 miles of the facility/site 50% Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified wood Adhesives and sealants that comply with SCAQMD rules governing allowable VOC content Paintings and coatings that comply with Green Seal's GS-11 requirements governing VOC emission levels Finished flooring that is FloorScore-certified and constitutes a minimum of 25% of the finished floor area Carpet and carpet cushion that meets the requirements of the Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI) Green Label Plus carpet testing program Composite panels and agri-fiber products that contain no added urea-formaldehyde resins

Facilities & Safety Sustainable Purchasing Procedure (FS 2013 FO0006) Facilities and Safety will strive to purchase environmentally-friendly products and services, and will encourage vendors to provide such product lines. Buyers will strive to work with vendors who use minimal packaging, while still protecting the products delivered. All buyers and project managers will use the Sustainable Product Website Listing (Attachment A in Policy) and the Sustainable Purchasing Performance Metrics (Attachment B in Policy) as resources when making purchasing decisions. The UCF Purchasing Department will only evaluate invitation bid solicitations done through their department. Vendors will explain how they can assist Facilities & Safety in tracking purchasing information and in increasing environmental and public health benefits through the purchase of sustainable goods and services. At any time, selected vendors must be prepared to report and document that their product meets at least one of the criteria listed in the Sustainable Purchasing Performance Metrics. UCF Design & Construction Standards Architects, Engineers, and Contractors must adhere to all American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), American National Standards Institute (ANSI), Florida Building Code (FBC), Florida Fire Prevention Code (FFPC), American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), National Electric Code (NEC), and Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards as well as Florida Board of Governors Regulations and Statutes as they apply to the work and as noted in the Professional Services Guide and all UCF Policies (http://policies.ucf.edu/).
