A brief description of the sustainable operations and maintenance policy/program and/or O+M rating system(s) used:

All of the University's new construction projects that are LEED certified pursue the corresponding LEED: O+M Starter Kit that entails Green Cleaning and Integrated Pest Management. In addition, all University spaces are maintained by a certified third party vendor that implements green cleaning protocols. Similarly, our landscape maintenance vendor maintains all University properties as per the O+M Integrated Pest Management credit requirements. The University also tracks and reports energy and water usage of all our major buildings using Portfolio Manager.

Gross square footage in OP4 differs from gross square footage in PRE4 because the University’s 2010 – 2020 energy & emissions goal focused on the University’s two main campuses in order to strike a balance between impact, effort to track data, and focused implementation. Baseline data and subsequent year data reported here are for the main academic, medical and residential campuses (Danforth, S40, and School of Medicine) and do not include two administrative campuses (West and North) or the university's other holdings. PRE4 includes Danforth, S40, School of Medicine, satellite administrative buildings, and off-campus housing.
