Total floor area of building space:
380,382.37 Square meters

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 meters
LEED O+M Gold or the 2nd highest level under another 4- or 5-tier GBC rating system 0 Square meters
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 meters
LEED O+M Silver or at a step above minimum level under another 4 -or 5–tier GBC rating system 0 Square meters
LEED O+M Certified or certified at minimum level under another GBC rating system 0 Square meters

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 meters

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

A brief description of the energy management or benchmarking program:
Laurier's Energy Management Plan was written in 2009 and is currently undergoing an update. The Plan focuses on measures that will accomplish two things: · Reducing the energy and resource use of buildings across our campuses · Providing tools to building occupants empowering them to change behavior to further reduce energy use through their own actions. The majority of buildings on Laurier's campuses are submetered. Submeter data is fed into PME and Lucid and is monitored/analyzed by our Operations team and Energy Project Manager. Alarms are set up to alert us to any irregularities in the utility data. In Lucid, dashboards are set up for each building on campus to allow us to analyze building performance and energy and water data trends. Utility data is also compiled in RET Screen, energy management software so it can be analysed and used to assess building performance. Energy Audits have been performed on the majority of our building stock as part of the Laurier Energy Efficiency Program and this information is informing our updated energy management plan.

Water Management and Benchmarking
