COMBINING EFFORTS
Advocacy
The Existing Building Operation and Maintenance (EBOM) Team continued to strengthen efforts and advancement toward improving the existing “built” environment with a 2009 signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Dallas Building Owners and Managers Association. (Dallas BOMA) The Team’s efforts focused on enhancing and improving existing building operations through BMPs, educating over 240 individuals through their September 17th Green Operations Summit. The day long event was one of the first in the Nation dedicated solely to the existing building market. It was attended by Property Owners and CRE Managers, Real Estate Brokers and Facility Managers & Operations Professionals from the public and private sectors.
Additionally, the EBOM team is providing resources to the LEED School Advocate to implement an Adopt-a-school program with Dallas ISD. Members of the LEED EBOM task force are providing resources and knowledge to help make a school more sustainable via training, assessment and program development efforts using LEED EB O&M as the metric. The end goal is to LEED EB certify a DISD Middle School in 2010.
