A brief description of how the institution ensures compliance with sustainable building operation and maintenance guidelines and policies:
UNH Facilities Operations & Maintenance launched a sustainability initiative in 2008 outlining its best practices. These include everything from checking seals and gaskets on windows and doors regularly to sealing crack with caulk to using Energy Star appliances to following a "green cleaning" policy in all buildings to "instructing contractors to observe clean indoor air policy" and much more. These Operations & Maintenance best practices are linked to similar best practices in energy and campus planning, including UNH's Design & Construction Standards and Silver-LEED equivalency policy for all new construction and renovation. Operations & Maintenance staff will be trained and certified under these standards, helping them comply with sustainable building operation and maintenance guidelines and policies.
