Data source(s) and notes about the submission:

The University currently does not have any LEED O&M certified buildings nor sustainable building operations and maintenance guidelines or policies. However, our 2004 Campus Design Guidelines does have a chapter (10.1) "Responsible Use of Energy and Natural Resources." We do not feel that this chapter is sufficient enough for claiming square footage of buildings that fall under a operations and maintenance guideline or policy but this chapter does provide a foundation for efforts in creating a policy.

Total building space that meets "Eligible Buildings Criteria" comes from Ludmilla Pavlova and Jonathon Contract in Campus Planning/Space Asset Management. List was generated from and file export on 1/13/14 provided by Jonathan Contract from the Tririga Space and Asset Database.
