4 LEED Canada EB:O&M existing building operations & maintenance What is It?

5 LEED Canada EB:O&M existing building operations & maintenance Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Rating System designed to certify the sustainability of ongoing operations of existing commercial and institutional buildings.

6 LEED LEED is a registered trademark of the USGBC Use of LEED logo is restricted to USGBC/CaGBC products and materials Only buildings certified by the USGBC or CaGBC may refer to themselves as LEED buildings CaGBC is the exclusive licensee of LEED in Canada

7 LEED Canada EB:O&M Core Credits Points 8 Sustainable Sites 26 4 Water Efficiency 14 6 Energy & Atmosphere 35 9 Materials & Resources 10 3 Indoor Environmental Quality 15 Bonus Credits Innovation in Operations Regional Priority Total Points Available 110

8 LEED Certification Levels Certified Silver Gold Platinum Points Points Points 80+ Points 110 Possible Points

9 LEED Canada EB:O&M scope of certification Whole Building 90% of floor space must participate in the program Focus on actual building operating performance, not design expectations Certification based on performance over a defined set of time Performance period Choice from 3 to 24 months for most credits 12 months of data required for Energy & Atmosphere Prerequisite 2 and Credit 1

10 LEED Canada EB:O&M re-certification Represents an ongoing commitment to continuously assess the environmental performance of buildings Certification is valid for 5 years Option to re certify any time after 1 year Certification Re certification Re certification Monitoring, improvements MetroCentre Certified LEED EB:O&M Silver 2008

38 LEED Canada EB:O&M Process

39 Perform gap analysis. Perform initial cost benefit analysis. Obtain decision maker buy in. Establish preliminary targets and timelines

40 Preliminary Assessment Most challenging prerequisites/potential capital investment Minimum indoor plumbing fixture & fitting efficiency Minimum energy efficiency performance Minimum indoor air quality Performance Existing policies - Purchasing - Accounting - Cleaning

41 Team meetings (Charrette) Refine cost benefit analysis Obtain decision maker buy-in Develop necessary plans and policies Register project and assign roles Reassign tasks and adjust timelines as needed

42 Lesson Learned 1 It is a Team Effort

43

44 Verify critical plan elements Initiate best practice elements of the plan Collect data Complete goal setting Review cost benefit Tenant Engagement

45 Lesson Learned 2 Understand Organization Structure Who is responsible for what May be confusing at first, but can be rewarding o Opportunity for large scale change o More cost effective

46 Lesson Learned 3 Have accounting system in place It is one thing to know who purchases things, it s a whole other game to know what was purchased! Utilize the planning and program development phases to set up tracking system

47 Tenant Involvement Tenant participation is often needed to meet prerequisite and credit requirements LEED Canada EB:O&M recognizes this can be difficult for multi-tenanted environments: Tenant data for up to 10% of total floor area can be excluded from all prerequisites (except EQp2) and credits For purchasing credits, tenants who do not give data are assumed to be non-compliant

48 Tenant Involvement Credit SSc4: Alternative Commuting Transportation MRc1: Sust. Purchasing Ongoing Consumables MRc2: Sust. Purchasing Durable Goods MRc3: Sust. Purchasing Facility Alterations MRc4: Sust. Purchasing Reduced Mercury MRc7: Solid Waste Mgmt Ongoing Consumables MRc8: Solid Waste Mgmt Durable Goods MRc9: Solid Waste Mgmt Facility Alterations EQc1.5: IAQ Mgmt for Facility Alterations EQc2.1: Occupant Comfort Occupant Survey EQc3.3: Green Cleaning Cleaning Products and Materials

49 Initiate performance period Perform final analysis and compilation of data Complete review period

50 Lesson Learned 4 Coordinate performance period with meaningful dates Budget cycle Ongoing maintenance contract renewals

51 Share the success Ongoing recertification
