The green building guidelines or policies:
All state-funded buildings must achieve Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver certification. Executive Order #2005-05 also requires newly constructed state-funded buildings to incorporate renewable energy. Also utilize ASU Sustainable Design Guidelines: http://www.asu.edu/purchasing/forms/Sustainable_Design_Guidelines.pdf

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) No
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) No
Water consumption (e.g. requiring minimum standards of efficiency for indoor and outdoor water use) No
Building-level water metering Yes

A brief description of the green building guidelines or policies and/or a list or sample of buildings covered:
Sustainable Design Policy: http://www.asu.edu/purchasing/forms/Sustainable_Design_Policy.pdf Sustainable Design Guidelines: http://www.asu.edu/purchasing/forms/Sustainable_Design_Guidelines.pdf

None
A brief description of how the institution ensures compliance with green building design and construction guidelines and policies:
Since 2005 the State of Arizona has mandated that all state-owned or funded buildings will be at built to at least USGBC LEED Silver certification level. Since that date the University has met or exceeded the mandate. This is managed by both the Capital Programs and University Architect's Office in Facilities Development and Management. In addition, the University strengthened its commitment by adopting Sustainable Design Guidelines in December 2009, which go above and beyond our LEED commitment, clearly identifying areas we wish to maximize in order to build efficient, productive buildings appropriate for our region, climate and for their intended use.
