A brief description of the sustainable building operations and maintenance program and/or a list or sample of buildings covered:

The State of WI Department of Administration shall develop and implement guidelines and minimum standards to incorporate environmentally responsible and sustainable concepts and practices into the planning, design, construction, operation and maintenance of all state facilities. These guidelines and minimum standards shall include, but not be limited to: establishing performance criteria in the following categories: portfolio management, sustainable sites, water efficiency, energy and atmosphere, materials and resources, adaptive use and preservation of existing buildings, indoor environmental quality, construction waste and recycling, operation and
maintenance, and purchasing of furniture, fixtures and equipment. The guidelines and standards are based on the LEED™ Rating System.
Sustainable design and construction is successful only if the building systems and
sitescape are properly maintained and operated in accordance with the designed
performance. Both operation and maintenance depend on ready access to equipment
and systems requiring maintenance and having reliable, easy-to-use records of the
building systems at the time of occupancy and keeping those records updated and
accessible. Staff training also needs to be addressed, particularly for stormwater
treatment features, low water, no-mow landscapes, and building
mechanical/electrical/plumbing/fire suppression systems.


A brief description of how the institution ensures compliance with sustainable building operation and maintenance guidelines and policies:

LEED-EB for DOA Managed Buildings - Through Conserve Wisconsin and Executive Order 145, (former) Governor Doyle has committed Wisconsin to leading by example in improving the energy and environmental performance of existing and new state-owned buildings. By adopting LEED-EB guidelines and implementing sustainable practices in the facilities it owns and leases, the Department of Administration is cutting energy use and conserving resources. Executive Order does not require certification to the US Green Building Council's LEED-EB Green Building Rating System, but contains minimum performance standards based on LEED tools and approaches, as well as measurement and reporting requirements.
The Wisconsin Division of State Facilities (DSF) is responsible for managing the state's real estate portfolio. The Division of State Facilities is accountable for implementing the sustainability policies of the State of Wisconsin Building Commission and for reporting on the results of these policies. Capital project and capital project portfolio performance information will be provided at least two times each year to the Commission. Reporting: DSF is required to report at least twice per year (via reporting templates and occupant comfort surveys) on capital projects and the results of the sustainability policies of the Building Commission. Verification: during project design and construction, following construction and reports on construction results.
