It is important for Colorado State to build efficiently, because buildings have a huge impact. In the U.S., buildings account for 36% of total energy use, 65% of electrical consumption, 30% of greenhouse gas emissions, 30% of raw materials use, 30% of waste output (136 million tons annually), and 12% of potable water consumption.
For more comprehensive examination of a number of past, current, and future buildings, please visit the Facilities Management Capital Improvement Projects website. For a synopsis of some of the recent major projects completed across campus, be sure to watch the overview video .
LEED for Existing Buildings Report
Facilities & the Institute for the Built Environment (IBE) partnered on this study to understand why LEED for Existing Building Operations & Maintenance (LEED EBOM) is not implemented more widely on college campuses. It was a successful collaboration between IBE and Facilities with the whole team learning useful information with the experiment. While there are still some complicated obstacles to overcome (funding being the most daunting), we all learned that there are fewer barriers than we originally anticipated. In addition, we learned that some areas (like policy) that we originally thought would be significant barriers are actually quite feasible. This process was also a great opportunity to engage the stakeholders and key players on campus to identify the team that would be necessary to pursue this certification further. This study was funded by a grant from the Governor's Energy Office.
