LEED buildings at UMD in the past 5 years include:
Ianni Hall (SILVER - 96,594 sq ft)
Heikkila Chemistry and Advanced Materials (MN State B3 Sustainable Building Energy Standards Guidelines - Certified - 66,197 sq. All state bonded projects must follow these guidelines to meet the energy standards laid out by B3. The energy standards for all projects built after 2015 will be 70 percent lower than that of the average building.)
Major renovations (Cina Hall, Superior Dining) also followed B3 Certification Guidelines, but were not included here as they did not add additional space on campus.

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:
The B3 Guidelines are applied to the design of new buildings or renovations to meet sustainability goals for site, water, energy, indoor environment, materials and waste. The B3 Guidelines are required on all projects that receive general obligation bond funding from the State of Minnesota. The guidelines can also be used on a voluntary basis on any project. By using the B3 Guidelines, projects will automatically be applying the SB 2030 Energy Standard. After design, during the building occupancy period, the building will also use the B3 Benchmarking tool to track and compare actual energy use and the B3 Post Occupancy Evaluation (POE) to survey occupants on the indoor environmental quality of the building.
None
A brief description of how the institution ensures compliance with green building design and construction guidelines and policies:
B3 is incorporated in to the University's design and construction standards, which are incorporated in to all design, engineering and contractor contracts.
