A brief description of the sustainable operations and maintenance policy/program and/or O+M rating system(s) used:
UO performs upkeep and maintenance on all projects. Virtually all projects are NOT maintained to LEED Operations & Maintenance (O&M) or BREEM standards. New LEED projects are created with sustaining occupant health and building performance through regular upkeep plans, all square footage is therefore recorded under the 'single-attribute, but not certified', as these buildings do not maintain O&M certification, but have extensive occupant health characteristics which are continually maintained. Additionally Per UO campus plan principle 6, Maintenance and Building Service (found here: https://cpfm.uoregon.edu/campus-plan) all projects practice maintenance using same-for-same or improved infrastructure upkeep.
"Maintenance
(a) Construct new buildings and remodel
existing space with high-quality, durable
materials and finishes that require a low
level of maintenance, and employ
construction methods that minimize the
need for frequent maintenance by
specialized personnel.
(b) When use of materials or methods
requiring a greater level of maintenance
is proposed, their selection must be
justified in terms of (1) the nature and
intensity of the intended use; (2) the
context of the building or space with
regard to the site or its location within the
building; and (3) the relative cost of the
higher maintenance requirement over the
expected useful lifetime of the building.
Consult Facilities Services during this
evaluation.
(c) To the maximum extent possible, select
fixtures, hardware, and other consumable
materials for installation in university
buildings that avoid the need to maintain
an extensive inventory of parts. To the
extent practicable, use materials that are
compatible with existing materials.
[...] Consider opportunities to improve campus-wide utility systems in consultation with Facilities Services and tie into building projects when possible.".
As part of all maintenance operations, multi-attribute maintenance considerations are designed into a project including water and energy efficiency above state requirements, and high building use standards. As part of regular maintenance, all parts are replaced with equal or better efficiency components. Under Principle 11, Patterns, of the Campus Plan (found here: https://cpfm.uoregon.edu/campus-plan), the materials and operations must consider the ongoing health, energy efficiency, and future needs of all buildings:
"Materials and Operations
Poorly selected materials, inappropriate energy strategies, and complex
facilities designs all can contribute to high operating costs. Maintenance
not only is a major component of the operating budget but also is a health
issue.
THEREFORE: Designers should select materials that are easy to maintain
and healthy, creating buildings that are energy efficient and easy to add
on to or modify later "
