BOMA BESt

BOMA -

Building Owners and Managers Association

Self governed association by its elected executive committee and

board of directors

BOMA BESt

is a national environmental recognition and certification program for existing commercial buildings.

BOMA BESt

is the next evolution of BOMA Canada's Go Green program.

BOMA BESt

helps assess how well your building is performing and includes suggestions for tangible ways to improve environmental practices.

Currently suitable for multiple tenant facilities

Commercial office building

Applications for retail (malls)

Light industrial pending development

Future additional modules online for MURB and other facility types

LEED: Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design

EBOM: Existing Building Operations & Maintenance

LEED EBOM is a existing building rating system administered by the Canada Green Building Council, a National Non-Profit Organization, affiliated with the US Green building Council.

LEED EBOM helps building owners and operators measure operations, improvements and maintenance on a consistent scale, with the goal of maximizing operational efficiency while minimizing environmental, resource and health impacts.

Suitable for all building types

BOMA BESt

Which Program to Use

BOMA BESt:Best suited for multiple tenant facilities – i.e. commercial office building

Applications for retail (malls) and light industrial pending development

Small to medium facilities

Which Program to Use

LEED® EBOM is suitable where:Building was certified to LEED-NC (new Construction) or LEED CS (Core and Shell)

Primary Tenant is also Owner or Building Manager

Best Practice in Sustainability

Regulations or Tenant Require it (i.e. Federal Government)

Medium to large facilities

Energy Saving Tips

Energy and Water Audit

Before having an energy and water audit conducted on your facility, conduct your own review. There are a number of simple energy reduction opportunities with a quick return on investment (Low Hanging Fruit).

Use the energy and water audit to identify more complex reduction opportunities and to provide a financial analysis of the opportunities.

Energy Saving Tips

Lighting

Replace incandescent lamps with CFL’s

Retrofit exit signs with LED lamps.

Occupancy sensors in areas of periodic use with long run hours.

Ensure exterior lighting is controlled by a photocell.

Energy Saving Tips

Space temperature setback

Incorporate an optimum start for the air handling systems

Programmable thermostats.

Timer on DHW recirculating

pumps.

Review and optimize operating schedules of equipment.

Ensure controls are operating as they should.

Energy Saving Tips

Envelope

Seal any cracks or openings.

Replace damaged weather stripping on windows and doors.

Ensure doors close properly.

Low flow aerators on lavatories.

Moisture sensor on irrigation system.

Energy Saving Tips

Tenant Awareness Program

Shut down equipment at night and weekend

Computers (including the monitor)

Photocopiers

Printers

Encourage lights to be turned off when not needed.

Make tenants aware of their impact on the energy consumption of the building.

Energy Saving Tips

Plan Green

There is currently a lot of infrastructure built in the late 70’s and in the 80’s in which major equipment is due for replacement.

Evaluate your equipment replacement policies

Do not change like for like

Lifecycle renewals can create an opportunity to make changes that can have significant impact on your energy consumption.

Energy Saving Tips

Understand Your Building

How is the building working?

Is it working as intended?

How can it be improved?

Case Study –

Good Earth Building

29 year old facility (circa 1980)

Infrastructure failing

Losing tenants

Operations and utility costs increasing

Chronic occupant complaints

Case Study –

Good Earth Building

$1,000,000 Renovation

Replace primary HVAC plant (boiler, chiller, cooling tower, pumps and motors)

Controls upgrade

Complete lighting retrofit

Case Study –

Good Earth Building•

10 year simple payback

25% decrease in energy costs

50% reduction in maintenance costs

Reduced tenant turnover

Improved thermal comfort & lighting (reduced headache complaints)

Considering BOMA BESt

Level 2 Certification

Conclusion

BOMA BEStTo be used for multi-tenant buildings – primarily commercial office

Small to medium facilities

Soon to apply to multi-tenant retail

LEED® EBOMTo be used for Buildings with LEED NC or CS Certification

Most Other buildings until BOMA BESt provides other packages

Medium to large facilities
