VERSION 2.0 Transition
Version 2.0 Transition Note: MSBG Version 2.0 contains a number of substantial changes from Version 1.1 including a renumbering of most guidelines and new features to make documentation easier. As in the last version, all projects funded with state bond money since 2004 are required to follow B3-MSBG guidelines and submit documentation both to the "appropriated agency" (The agency that received the bond funds on behalf of the project) and CSBR (at msbghelp@umn.edu). The required documentation is specified in the new 2.0 Version.
If your project team has completed Design Development Phase and submitted their MSBG compliance forms as of September 7th, 2006, you may continue to use MSBG Version 1.1 throughout the rest of the design, construction, construction administration, and commissioning phases of the project. If you haven't reached that point in the design process, we would like you to use the new B3-MSBG Version 2.0. We think that you will find them easier to use. We would appreciate any feedback you might have to make B3-MSBG easier to use and improve the reporting method.
For additional questions on your role in regards to the guideline either contact your "appropriated agency" or CSBR: Garrett Mosiman at 612-625-8409 or msbghelp@umn.edu for assistance.
