A brief description of the sustainable operations and maintenance policy/program and/or O+M rating system(s) used:
Operation & Maintenance (Design Guidelines and Technical Standards).
6.7.1 Building “Owner’s Manual”: Provide a Building Owner’s Manual (in digital format) on how to operate and maintain the building and site to optimize the building systems and design.
6.7.2 Operation & Maintenance Education: Conduct a workshop for the Owner, including building occupants and maintenance staff, before occupancy to review the “Building Owner’s Manual” and direct building users on how to optimize the building systems and design.
6.7.3 Post-Occupancy Evaluation: Post-occupancy evaluations will be performed by the DP or a consultant retained by the DP at the end of the first year of occupancy. The evaluation shall include performance and satisfaction assessments of building comfort, HVAC systems operations & controls, water and energy use, lighting, etc.
6.8.1 Resource Usage Information Display: Buildings are not static in nature and therefore it is important to provide feedback to the users on their effect on energy, water, and other resource consumption as they use the buildings. Provide smart meters to educate and influence user behavior with the goal of reducing energy consumption.
6.8.2 Interpretation: Buildings should be an educational opportunity for the users, to educate the users on energy savings and resource-saving features of buildings. Provide innovative ways to educate users about sustainable building design, through the use of signage, displays (green screen or other form), and any other appropriate communication device to explain design strategies, techniques, technologies, etc.
