Summary: On April 12, 2006, the governor signed Executive Order 145 which calls for the Public Utilities Commission to set energy efficiency goals for state facilities, office buildings, and campuses for 2007 to 2009. The goals should reduce actual energy usage per square foot by at least 10% by 2008 from the 2005 state energy report baseline adjusted for weather and 20% by 2010. The order also called for the Department of Administration to work with the Building Commission and the Energy Center of Wisconsin to ensure that new state facilities are constructed to be 30% more energy efficient than commercial code.
