Total floor area of building space:

3,512,891 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:

0 Square feet

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

If reporting certified space, provide:

A brief description of the energy management or benchmarking program:

The campus utilizes Johnson Control Metasys Building Energy Management system to help monitor all the buildings on the Oshkosh campus. Using the Metasys system, the campus is able to set and schedule run times for various mechanical systems such as air handling units, chillers and heat pumps. The campus also uses the Metasys system to control campus security and parking lot lighting. Holiday schedules, weekend schedule and special events scheduling are implemented to help limit the run times of equipment and lighting during weekends and holidays. Facilities Management works closely with Campus Scheduling to adjust the schedules on a weekly basis for weekends and holidays. Optimization of equipment efficiencies are achieved through Metasys by analyzing reporting points on the system. Notifications and alarms are set up to help monitor and notify staff when systems are out of their normal values. The Johnson Controls Metasys system is also used to monitor building energy use through the use of a complex metering system. Electrical energy along with Steam and Condensate are monitored along with the energy harvesting of the campus Photovoltaic and Thermal solar systems. Monthly building meter readings are recorded and analyzed by Facilities Management to look for any abnormalities in the energy use. Trends are also set up by the campus to view energy use close up by the month, day or hour as desired.

Water Management and Benchmarking
