1 OP 3: Building Operatins and Maintenance 4 pints available A. Credit Ratinale This credit recgnizes institutins that perate and maintain their buildings in ways that prtect the health f building ccupants and the envirnment. An institutin s existing building stck is typically the largest surce f campus energy cnsumptin and greenhuse gas emissins. By adpting and fllwing a sustainable peratins and maintenance framewrk, institutins can cnserve energy and water, minimize impacts n the surrunding site, reduce waste and water cnsumptin, prmte indr envirnmental quality, and supprt markets fr envirnmentally preferable materials while prviding healthy and prductive wrk, learning, and living spaces. While ther credits als capture many f the impacts f green buildings (e.g. n campus energy cnsumptin and water use), this credit specifically recgnizes institutins that have cmprehensive sustainable peratins and maintenance prgrams and that pursue third party certificatin fr thse prgrams. B. Criteria Institutin wns and perates buildings that are: 1) Certified under a green building rating system fr existing buildings, e.g. LEED fr Existing Buildings: Operatins & Maintenance (O&M) And/r 2) Operated and maintained in accrdance with frmally adpted sustainable peratins and maintenance guidelines and plicies that cver all f the fllwing: Impacts n the surrunding site Energy cnsumptin Building-level energy metering Usage f envirnmentally preferable materials Indr envirnmental quality Water cnsumptin Building-level water metering Building space that meets multiple criteria listed abve shuld nt be duble-cunted.

2 C. Applicability This credit applies t all institutins that have any building space that is eligible fr certificatin under a green building rating system fr existing buildings. [See Eligible Building Space (Operatins and Maintenance) in Standards and Terms] D. Scring Institutins earn the maximum f 4 pints available fr this credit by having all eligible building space certified at the highest achievable level under a rating system fr existing buildings used by an Established Green Building Cuncil (GBC) in the institutin s lcality, e.g. LEED fr Existing Buildings: O&M, certificatin level Platinum. Incremental pints are awarded based n the percentage f building space that is certified at each level and/r maintained in accrdance with sustainable peratins and maintenance plicies (see table belw). Fr example, an institutin that had 100 percent f its eligible building space certified at the minimum level wuld earn 2 pints fr this credit, while an institutin that had 50 percent f its eligible building space certified at the minimum level wuld earn 1 pint. Institutins earn pints as calculated accrding t the fllwing table: STARS 2.0 Technical Manual 129 OP Buildings

5 E. Reprting Fields Required An indicatin f whether the institutin has any building space certified under the fllwing green building rating systems fr existing buildings: LEED fr Existing Buildings r anther 4-tier rating system used by an Established Green Building Cuncil (GBC) The DGNB system, Green Star Perfrmance, r anther 3-tier GBC rating system BREEAM-In Use, CASBEE fr Existing Building, r anther 5-tier GBC rating system Other nn-gbc rating systems (e.g. BOMA BESt, Green Glbes) Ttal flr area f eligible building space (peratins and maintenance) (square feet/square metres) Flr area f building space that is maintained in accrdance with frmally adpted sustainable building peratins and maintenance guidelines r plicies, but nt certified (square feet/square metres) An affirmatin that the submitted infrmatin is accurate t the best f a respnsible party s knwledge and cntact infrmatin fr the respnsible party. The respnsible party shuld be a staff member, faculty member, r administratr wh can respnd t questins regarding the data nce submitted and available t the public. Cnditinal Required if the institutin is reprting any certified building space: Flr area f building space that is certified at each level under a green building rating system fr existing buildings used by an Established Green Building Cuncil (square feet/square metres) Flr area f building space that is certified under a nn-gbc rating system fr existing buildings (square feet/square metres) A brief descriptin f the green building rating system(s) used and/r a list r sample f certified buildings and ratings Required if the institutin is reprting building space that is maintained in accrdance with sustainable building peratins and maintenance guidelines r plicies, but nt certified: A cpy f the guidelines r plicies (text r PDF uplad) The date the guidelines r plicies were frmally adpted A brief descriptin f the sustainable building peratins and maintenance prgram and/r a list r sample f buildings cvered A brief descriptin f hw the institutin ensures cmpliance with sustainable building peratin and maintenance guidelines and plicies STARS 2.0 Technical Manual 132 OP Buildings

6 Optinal The website URL where infrmatin abut the institutin s certified buildings and/r sustainable peratins and maintenance guidelines r plicies is available Ntes abut the submissin F. Measurement Timeframe Reprt n the current certificatin status f buildings at the time f STARS submissin. Buildings fr which certificatin has lapsed shuld nt be cunted as certified space. Likewise, buildings fr which certificatin is pending shuld nt be cunted as certified space; these buildings may be excluded frm the calculatins fr this credit fr up t 2 years fllwing registratin with LEED r anther rating system. Finally, buildings that have been certified under a rating system that fcuses n design and cnstructin (e.g. LEED fr New Cnstructin and Majr Renvatins, LEED fr Cre & Shell, LEED fr Cmmercial Interirs) may be excluded frm the calculatins fr this credit fr up t 5 years fllwing the date f certificatin. These buildings shuld nt be cunted fr this credit unless they have been certified under a green building rating system fr existing buildings. Sampling and Data Standards Include all eligible building space (peratins and maintenance) as defined in Standards and Terms that is part f the institutin s verall STARS institutinal bundary when reprting fr this credit. Reprting n a sample r subset f eligible building space is nt allwed fr this credit. An institutin may use any standard definitin f flr area (e.g. ASHRAE, ANSI/BOMA, IECC), as lng as it uses the same definitin fr bth the ttal flr area f eligible building space and the flr area f building space that is certified and/r sustainably perated and maintained.
