Total floor area of building space:

2,622,632 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:

1,147,000 Square feet

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