Housekeeping Services continuously examines its entire cleaning program and implements ongoing changes in those areas that need improvement. Housekeeping Services strives to have a positive impact on cleanliness and the health and performance of the campus community."

A brief description of the energy management or benchmarking program:
While we do not use dashboards or other analytics tools, via our building automation system and utility, JCCC staff track and maintain extensive data on energy consumption by building to meet campus energy goals, preparing regular, comprehensive reports for the campus community.
Starting in summer 2017, we began implementation of a new building automation system for 100% of our square footage that will provide better analytics and control of our chiller plant, HVAC, and lighting equipment. This process has already shown significant cost savings and reduction in energy use.
