Total floor area of building space:
3,622,256
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.
| 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:
UMD Custodial resides in the UMD Facilities Management Department, and there are very few outside cleaning contracts (ex: exterior window washing on tall buildings.)
UMD received an Honorable Mention in the American School & University's Green Cleaning award (http://viewer.zmags.com/publication/6ada99ad?page=18#/6ada99ad/18)
Green cleaning is a topic at Custodial Management meetings with all staff, and many ideas for reusable/greener products come from the Custodial Supervisory staff. UMD Custodial staff have won Sustainability Inspiration awards for their contributions to our campus greening.

Energy Management and Benchmarking
100
A brief description of the energy management or benchmarking program:
UMD uses the State of Minnesota B3 Benchmarking system to track and examine building performance. The B3 tools and programs are designed to help make buildings more energy efficient and sustainable. The B3 programs have been developed for and are required on State-funded projects in Minnesota, however they are easily applied to any project. The B3 Guidelines and the SB 2030 Energy Standard can be applied to new and renovated buildings during design. B3 Benchmarking, B3 Energy Efficient Operations and the B3 Post Occupancy Evaluation (POE) can be used to evaluate and improve existing buildings. More info on B3 at: https://www.b3mn.org/
UMD is currently updating and adding submeters, to better track our progress.
We also report utility usage to be transparant in our progress on water and energy use on our Campus Databook, link below or visit: http://www.d.umn.edu/sustainability/campus-initiatives

Water Management and Benchmarking
100
A brief description of the water management or benchmarking program:
As decribed above, the B3 program described above also includes a section for the input of water usage. The program allows us to benchmark our water usage compared to other buildings in the State.
Because nearly the entire campus is connected by hallways and skywalks, many of our buildings are together on shared meters. UMD is currently updating and adding more submetering infrastructure, to better track our progress.
We also have a campus databook available with all data and tracking at:
