Total floor area of building space:

360,054 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:

If reporting certified space, provide:

A brief description of the green building rating system(s) used and/or a list or sample of certified buildings and ratings:

---

If reporting uncertified space, provide the following:

Uncertified Space

Indoor Air Quality Management

Green Cleaning

Of the institution's uncertified building space, what percentage of floor area is maintained in accordance with a published green cleaning policy, program or contract ? (0-100):

100

A copy or the green cleaning policy:

OP3_Green_Cleaning_Housekeeping_Estimate.pdf

A brief description of how green cleaning is incorporated into cleaning contracts:

The Maintenance (cleaning) Guidelines (Devis d'entretien) document is a reference for all building operations and maintenance activities on campus relative to green cleaning. The Guidelines include: - Usage of products that meet strict environmental standards; - List of cleaning products and prohibited uses; - Sustainable waste management and 3RV policy; - Energy saving practices and building energy metering; - Water saving consumption and building water metering; - Reduction of ecological footprint.

Energy Management and Benchmarking

Of the institution's uncertified building space, what percentage of floor area is maintained in accordance with an energy management or benchmarking program? (0-100):

100

A brief description of the energy management or benchmarking program:

An integrated building management system (HEBI), including an energy management module (HEM), is implemented on all three campuses and provides real-time information on the various buildings energy consumption, such as electricity, steam and natural gas. In addition, this system measures the efficiency of heat pumps, as well as domestic water and compressed air consumption (in some pavilions). This system hence provides valuable on-hand information on energy consumption as to identify possible mechanical failures. This information also allows the University to optimize its facilities in order to reduce their energy consumption. In addition, the system efficiently manages lighting schedules and room temperatures according to peak periods (equipment operating schedules management, temperature lowering during unoccupied periods, etc.).

Water Management and Benchmarking

Of the institution's uncertified building space, what percentage of floor area is maintained in accordance with a water management or benchmarking program? (0-100):

A brief description of the water management or benchmarking program:

An integrated building management system (HEBI) allows the University to measure the domestic water consumption of the majority of pavilions. The data collected through this system allows the University to access its daily drinking water consumption in real time. In addition, the system enables to quickly detect the presence of leaks, which greatly reduces water loss in the event of a breakage.
