The green building guidelines or policies:
The link attached below is the UM Systems building guidelines for various forms of construction conducted. There are specifications based on whether a project is a design-build, etc. https://www.umsystem.edu/ums/fa/facilities/guidelines/

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) No
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) No
Building-level water metering No

A brief description of the green building guidelines or policies and/or a list or sample of buildings covered:
Listed below are the buildings newly constructed or renovated in the last five years: Solar House #7 Energetics Explosives Research Facility University Commons Kennedy Experimental Mine Building Patio Restaurant Rolla Suites South Solar House #5 Hasselmann Alumni House Miner Dome Storage Salt Storage Building Grounds Equipment Storage Building Student Diversity, Outreach, & Women's Program Annex Solar House #6 Rolla Suites North McNutt Geothermal Plant Straumanis-James Geothermal Plant Bertelsmeyer Hall Out of the buildings listed above, only one building is LEED certified under LEED BD+C.

A brief description of how the institution ensures compliance with green building design and construction guidelines and policies:
It is required that every contractor must complete the Environmental Management General Awareness Training before performing any work on campus grounds. The overall purpose is to have compliance with Missouri S&T's Sustainability Policy and regulatory requirements. The three main requirements primarily focused on is the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MDNR). Below is an attached link of Missouri S&T's Sustainability Policy. http://ems.mst.edu/sustainabilitypolicy/

Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
There are a couple things to make note of. For example, I have zero square footage under the criteria of building space certified under a non-GBC rating system. The square footage evaluated for the last five years have not been specifically rated under the Green Globes NC or Certified Passive House organization. Therefore, they are exempt. In addition, I have not included any of the solar house square footage. As far as I am concerned, the Department of Energy is not using the above classification for competition. Lastly, I have included Hasselmann Alumni House into the total square footage even though they are leased through the University. Also, for the percentage of certified projects, it did not allow me to edit the percent. However, I took the total square footage of certified projects and divided it by total square footage. I ended with 21.5% of on campus construction to be certified.
