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.
| 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 |
