A brief description of the green building guidelines or policies and/or a list or sample of buildings covered:
---
None
A brief description of how the institution ensures compliance with green building design and construction guidelines and policies:
Compliance with State of Minnesota B3 guidelines are required by legislative mandate. Minnesota's Sustainable Building Guidelines require certain procedures followed regarding performance management, site and water, energy and atmosphere, indoor environmental quality, and materials and waste. The guidelines include state and climactic specific requirements for builders and building operators. Buildings must meet performance outcomes annually, with the aim of achieving carbon neutral buildings by 2030.
B3 is also incorporated in to the University's design and construction standards, which are incorporated in to all design, engineering and contractor contracts.
