1 Texas A&M University FY16 Sustainability Final Presentation May 2017 University of Southern University of Southern Maine University of St. Thomas University of Tennessee, Knoxville University of Texas - Austin University of Texas at Dallas University of Texas Health University of Texas Rio Grande Valley University of the Sciences in Philadelphia University of Toledo University of Vermont University of Washington University of West Florida University of Wisconsin - Madison Vanderbilt University Virginia Commonwealth University Wake Forest University Washburn University Washington State University Washington State University - Tri-Cities Campus Washington State University - Vancouver Washington University in St. Louis Wayne State University Wellesley College Wesleyan University West Chester University West Virginia Health Science Center West Virginia University Western Oregon University Westfield State University Widener University Williams College Worcester Polytechnic Institute Worcester State University Xavier University

2 What We Do Data, software and expertise for all phases of The Building Lifecycle Optimize ongoing maintenance, repairs and operations. Analyze and benchmark facilities against others in the industry. Manage change orders and construction projects with proven systems and services. Create accurate estimates using industry-standard RSMeans data. Use detailed data and workflow tools to competitively contract construction. 2

10 Benchmarking Emissions & Source Data Two ways to normalize emissions for comparison GHG Emissions per 1,000 GSF GHG Emissions per Student FTE Stresses intensity of operations. Stresses efficient use of space. Gross GHG Emissions Total GSF in Footprint X 1,000 Gross GHG Emissions Total Student FTE 10
