A brief description of how the institution ensures compliance with sustainable building operation and maintenance guidelines and policies:
Arizona State University is committed to developing and maintaining sustainable practices in its operations. Following is a listing of policies and practices that address the way we maintain buildings in accordance with sustainable building operational practices. ASU's comprehensive Green Purchasing Policy covers energy, water, toxins and pollutants, biobased products, forest conservation, recycling, packaging, green building, and landscaping. http://www.asu.edu/aad/manuals/pur/pur210.html All university buildings are covered by a Green Cleaning contract. The contractors are required to utilize green cleaning products and procedures. Indoor Air Quality http://www.asu.edu/aad/manuals/policyarchives/EHS/Mar2009/ehs402.html http://cfo.asu.edu/ehs-indoor-air-quality The sustainable maintenance guidelines included within Arizona State University's Sustainable Design Guidelines apply to all buildings. Approximately 75% of Arizona State University's buildings at the Tempe campus can be scheduled through the building automation system. This is a Johnson Controls Metasys system that is used to turn air handlers and pumps, etc. on and off according to the scheduling needs for a particular building, or zone within a building. Building occupancy needs are determined by academic, research, and administrative staff, then equipment schedules are optimized to prevent unnecessary run-time. Room Temperature Conservation Guidelines – ASU's Tempe campus classrooms and offices are heated to no higher than 68° F, and cooled to no lower than 80° F to reduce the amount of energy used for space conditioning.
