A brief description of the green building guidelines or policies and/or a list or sample of buildings covered:
Minnesota B3 Guidelines: The B3 Guidelines are sustainable building guidelines for major renovations and new buildings that are funded by state monies. The Guidelines are mandated by the Minnesota Legislature and focus on energy efficiency and conservation, material costs, operating costs, building occupant well-being and productivity, and the quality of the natural environment. Since many buildings at the University are at least partially funded by the State, most new buildings and major renovations are required to follow the B3 Guidelines. More info at http://www.b3mn.org/
Sample of buildings:
University Recreation Center, Northrop Auditorium, 17th Avenue Residence Hall
None
A brief description of how the institution ensures compliance with green building design and construction guidelines and policies:
All new building projects and major renovations receiving state funding are required to meet the B3 guidelines. Projects are reviewed throughout design and construction by B3 team, project managers, designers, and other stakeholders. B3 compliance is tracked through the State of Minnesota's B3 Tracking Tool http://www.msbgtracking.com/Login.aspx
