Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design for Existing Buildings (LEED-EB): Operations and Maintenance Sustainability Activities by the BUILDING OCCUPANT

Executive Order S-20 -04 l l All State buildings over 50, 000 square feet shall be LEED-EB Silver or greater The following programs can earn up to 10 LEED points in the Materials and Resource (MR) category and 4 in the Sustainable Sites (SS) category

Team Approach to LEED-EB certification l l l Project Administrations On-Site Field Staff Building Occupant Sustainability Activities

Step 1: Assign a “Green Champion” Requirements: • Building Occupant interfacing with the Building Management • Familiar with purchasing, recycling and acquisitions of furniture and equipment • Enthusiasm for this “green” movement

Step 2: Alternative Transportation Program l Encourage Alternative Transportation – – – – Communication plan Informational Website Flyers Transportation passes Locker facilities Bike locker area Shuttle system Parking incentives

Sustainable Sites Credit: SS credit 4 Record % of Occupants using Alternative Transportation Divide number of people that are: ~ Bicycle commuters ~ Public Transportation commuters ~ Car/Vanpooler commuters ~ Alternative Fuel Vehicles (AFV) personal commuters BY: ~Total Number of people using building ALSO Encouraged: ~ Public Transportation for work related trips ~ AFV work related trips

Step 3: Coordinate with Project Administrator to clearly define “ongoing consumables” and “durable goods” Ongoing Consumables: Durable Goods: Electrical Powered Equipment • Appliances • External power adapters • Paper • Toner Cartridges • Televisions • Glass • Audiovisual equipment • Plastics Durable Goods: Furniture • Cardboard • Food Wastes • Cubicle partitions & panels • Metals • Desk Accessories • Tables • Office chairs

Step 4: Recycling Programs Set up a robust recycling program and track disposal rates l Recycling bins l Recycling of batteries l Recycling office supplies l Information on website l Set up opportunities to compost food waste

Ongoing Consumables: MR credit 7 Record % of waste recycled • Have recycling vendor provide “hauler” documentation • Emphasis on recycle bin collection so that separation is preserved • Educational Signage • File AB 75 records

Ongoing Consumables: MR credit 7 Target: 80% diversion of used batteries l l All portable dry-cell type including: Single use or rechargeable used in radios, cameras, computers and other devices or equipment l Set up program to collect old batteries Advertise program with informational flyers and website Keep records of disposal rate

Materials & Resources: MR credit 8 Record % of recycled or reused durable goods Durable Goods: Electrical Powered Equipment

Step 5: Purchasing Programs Purchasing resources: Environmental Preferable Purchasing (EPP) Best Practices Manual at www. green. ca. gov Track all purchases for ongoing consumables and durable goods according to Step 3 definitions.

Ongoing Consumables: MR credit 1 Record % of recycle content products purchased State Agency Buy Recycle Campaign (SABRC) filing • File reports per SABRC • Good record keeping

Materials and Resources: MR credit 2. 1 Record % of purchases by cost Track purchases of Durable Goods: Electrical Powered Equipment • Appliances • External power adapters • Televisions • Audiovisual equipment

Materials and Resources: MR credit 2. 2 Record % of sustainable purchases by cost Durable goods: Furniture (salvaged or with recycled content) State Purchasing Process provides structure for Document Management: • Buy from Prison Industry Authority (PIA) • Buy other which requires filing waiver with PIA • Buy salvage furniture from warehouse

Step 6: Material & Resources: MR credits 3 & 9 Facility Alterations and Additions Provide LEED – EB Project Administrator with up-to-date list of all facility alterations or additions

Project Manual or Special Repair In the event of any Facility Alterations or Additions Specifications for: • Erosion and Sedimentation Control • Construction and Demolition Waste • Construction Indoor Air Management
