The green building guidelines or policies:
See Planning Design Construction - Sustainability in Construction.pdf (attached) and the updated Sustainability Guidelines for Construction Projects below.
Sustainable Site:
-The university looks at ways to maximize green space on campus.
-All new construction projects require an erosion and settlement control plan.
-Site locations will encourage connectivity to city buses, bike paths, and walk paths.
-Consideration is given to proximity to basic services, such as pharmacy, medical offices, laundry facilities, and dining halls.
-Softscapes are encouraged and will be incorporated into the design of facilities when resources allow.
-Storm water runoff management is implemented at all facilities.
-Efforts are made to reduce the heat island effect by minimizing tree removal, encouraging tree planting to provide shading, and using light reflecting roofing membranes.
Water Efficiency:
-Indigenous plantings are encouraged.
-Innovative wastewater technologies are implemented into the design of facilities when resources allow.
-Water efficient products are used, including, but not limited to, low-flow toilet fixtures and automatic restroom fixture sensors.
-Lawn irrigation systems are minimized.
Energy and Atmosphere:
-Newly installed systems will prohibit use of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs).
-High-efficiency units are specified.
-Use of LED lighting throughout a project is encouraged.
Materials and Resources:
-Waste and recycling bins are incorporated into projects.
-Walls, structural elements, flooring, and other building materials are reused when beneficial for the project.
-Construction waste is managed on all projects.
-Materials made of recycled content are encouraged.
-Regional materials are encouraged and used when applicable to the project.
Indoor Environmental Quality:
-Outdoor air delivery monitoring systems are installed in facilities as they are renovated or constructed.
-Low volatile organic compounds (VOC) materials are specified.
-Ventilation standards and mechanical codes continue to evolve to address energy conservation and thermal comfort.
-Tobacco use is prohibited on campus, including construction sites.
-Indoor pollutants are controlled by the use of walk-off mats, proper chemical storage areas, installation of appropriate exhaust systems for hazardous fumes, and installation of new air filters prior to occupancy.
-Lighting is controlled with occupancy sensors.
-Building controls are automated.
-HVAC systems are designed so that off-site temperature management can occur.
-Use of natural daylighting is encouraged in all new construction and renovation projects when applicable.
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 | No |
A brief description of the green building guidelines or policies and/or a list or sample of buildings covered:
Missouri State University provides guidelines for all construction projects to ensure the use of sustainable building practices in the design and construction of new or renovated university facilities. The guidelines address selection of a sustainable site, water efficiency, energy and atmosphere, materials and resources, and indoor environmental quality. The items of focus for each of the aforementioned categories are identified in the attached Sustainability Guidelines for Construction Projects.
The University has developed standards and design guidelines for new construction and building renovations on the Missouri State University campus. These guidelines are used by the design team to meet the programmatic needs of each project and cover topics including operations and maintenance, safety, energy efficiency, and material finishes. To insure the University's projects are designed in compliance with the University's green building commitment, our design criteria and facility standards undergo review by the university and are revised as needed to address environmental stewardship.
Projects include:
Renovation of the Third Floor, Plaster Student Union - Phase II
Laboratory Renovations, Temple Hall
Bathroom Renovation, Shannon House
Tornado Community Safe Room, Sunvilla West
Renovate Computer Labs, Cheek Hall
Renovation and Addition, Glass Hall
Occupational Therapy Building
A brief description of how the institution ensures compliance with green building design and construction guidelines and policies:
The University works with the design consultants, the contractor, and University stakeholders on all projects from the inception of the project through completion of construction to identify opportunities to incorporate sustainable practices into the project. Feasible sustainable features and practices are incorporated into the project design and outlined in the construction documents. Design and construction guidelines are provided to the contractor in the form of project specifications. Contractors are required to submit a submittal for each specified product, which is then evaluated and approved if in compliance with the project specifications. Upon completion of the project, a punch list is conducted by the consultant and university project manager to ensure that all products and practices were installed and completed as indicated in the project specifications and submittal approval.
