Total floor area of building space:

3,026,463 Square feet

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:

0 Square feet

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:

All utilities are measured and tracked for all buildings within the Energy Cap software program. This is shared with the state of Colorado architects office yearly. Buildings are benchmarked according to functions. The Energy Use Intensity for the campus is 79 kWh/square foot. A yearly report provides comparative performance for each building. Significant changes in performance initiate investigation into causes.

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):

100

A brief description of the water management or benchmarking program:

All water use data is entered into Energy Cap and compared from year to year. A yearly report provides comparative performance for each building. Significant changes in performance initiate investigation into causes. Irrigation is separated from domestic use. Retrofits on toilets, urinals, and lavoratories have been completed for all existing buildings. Energy and Water data can be seen by anyone at the following website. https://www.uccs.edu/sustain/resources/campus-utility-data.html To access: username:uccs, password: uccs, source:uccs
