The green building guidelines or policies:
University of Colorado Boulder • Master Plan
III. Sustainability
3. LEED and STARS Compliance
Guidelines:
• All new and renovated facilities shall attain LEED Gold “Plus” certification, which is diving more deeply into the energy and water conservation categories of the LEED requirements, including projected performance at a minimum level of 45 percent better than ASHRAE standards.
• CU-Boulder will utilize the STARS rating to outline opportunities for the campus to improve in building maintenance and operations, clean and renewable energy, and waste reduction.

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) | 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 how the institution ensures compliance with green building design and construction guidelines and policies:
In 2003 UCB students decided to fund construction of four major campus buildings ( Wolf Law, ATLAS, VAC and Business School). Student main funding condition was to ensure these buildings were designed and met the LEED silver level certification with up to 1% of of total project cost in support of sustainable features. We have been able to achieve LEED Gold level certification for all new constructions. Currently LEED Gold+ is our campus standard. Gold+ is intended to drive deeper into the two main LEED categories; Energy and Water.
