The green building guidelines or policies:
South Dakota has enacted legislation mandating the use of high-performance building standards in new state construction and renovations. This policy requires that new and renovated state buildings achieve the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED Silver rating, a two-globe rating under the Green Building Initiative's (GBI) Green Globe rating system, or a comparable numeric rating from another accredited sustainable building certification program. The law applies to all new construction projects and renovations by state agencies, departments, or institutions that cost more than $1,000,000 or include more than 10,000 square feet of space. The standard only applies to buildings with heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems.
The Office of the State Engineer may issue a waiver to this requirement if:
The building will have minimal human occupancy;
The increased capital cost will not be recouped within 15 years from decreased operational costs;
The standard would conflict with existing historic properties laws;
The square footage of a renovation project is less than 50% of the total square footage of the building; or
The South Dakota Bureau of Administration (BOA) determines that the standard is impractical for a given project.
The BOA must adopt rules for determining compliance and issuing waivers under the standard. Any waivers issued by the BOA must be reported annually to the state legislature.
Do the green building guidelines or policies cover the following?:
| Yes or No | |
| Impacts on the surrounding site (e.g. guidelines to reuse previously developed land, protect environmentally sensitive areas, and otherwise minimize site impacts) | Yes |
| Energy consumption (e.g. policies requiring a minimum level of energy efficiency for buildings and their systems) | Yes |
| Building-level energy metering | Yes |
| Use of environmentally preferable materials (e.g. guidelines to minimize the life cycle impacts associated with building materials) | Yes |
| Indoor environmental quality (i.e. guidelines to protect the health and comfort of building occupants) | Yes |
| Water consumption (e.g. requiring minimum standards of efficiency for indoor and outdoor water use) | Yes |
| Building-level water metering | Yes |
A brief description of the green building guidelines or policies and/or a list or sample of buildings covered:
All new construction at BHSU must meet a minimum of 33 point criteria for LEED™ certification. The categories include Sustainable sites, Water efficiency, Energy & Atmosphere, Materials & Resources, Indoor Environmental Quality, and Innovation & Design Process.
None
A brief description of how the institution ensures compliance with green building design and construction guidelines and policies:
All South Dakota public institutions are required to comply with the state's green building design policy unless a waiver proving reasons for exemption has been accepted by the Bureau of Administration.
