New and Existing State Building Requirements

Summary: Statute (House Bill 80) requires the creation and implementation of a state building energy efficiency program, which shall develop guidelines/procedures and goals for energy efficiency for state buildings.

Executive Order 2006-0004 calls on state employees to adopt energy conservation principles in state facilities, including adjusting building temperatures, reducing power usage, and replacing light fixtures. The Governor's Energy Policy calls for the creation of programs for building energy design standards and high-performance building rating, and the state will consider a process where all capital improvements for existing state-owned buildings are explicitly reviewed for energy impacts.
