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:

The Housekeeping Services’ Green Cleaning Program is a critical part of our sustainable practices. The program involves employing environmentally preferable supplies, understanding the unique requirements of each JCCC building, and using products and practices to meet those requirements. Housekeeping Services continuously examines its entire cleaning program and implements ongoing changes in those areas that need improvement. Housekeeping Services strives to have a positive impact on cleanliness and the health and performance of the campus community." In addition to the use of environmentally preferable products, JCCC employs ozonated cleaning equipment on 49% of its square footage.

A brief description of the energy management or benchmarking program:

While we do not use dashboards or other analytics tools, via our building automation system and utility, JCCC staff track and maintain extensive data on energy consumption by building to meet campus energy goals, preparing regular, comprehensive reports for the campus community. Starting in summer 2017, we began implementation of a new building automation system for 100% of our square footage that will provide better analytics and control of our chiller plant, HVAC, and lighting equipment. This process has already shown significant cost savings and reduction in energy use. Information on PowerSwitch, the JCCC energy management program, is available here: http://www.jccc.edu/sustainability/campus-initiatives/energy.html Data are also reported through NACUBO/APPA and the Key Facilities Metrics Survey, a screenshot of which is provided below.
