New and Existing State Building Requirements |
Summary: In 2008, the South Dakota legislature passed a bill (SB 188) requiring use of high performance building standards for new state construction and renovation. The new standard must be at least as stringent as the LEED-Silver standard, the two-globe standard on the Green Globes rating system, or a comparable standard. The new state standard will apply to all new state-funded construction projects costing more than $500,000 or occupying more than 5,000 square feet of space.
The State of South Dakota Energy Conservation Loan Fund uses over $8 million dollars of funds to provide no-interest loans to State Government of South Dakota projects. The loan repayment is based on energy costs savings.
