ENERGY EFFICIENT STATE BUILDINGS

39-2904. Major facility projects. [EFFECTIVE UNTIL JULY 1, 2013] (1) To the extent it is fiscally prudent and to the extent it is practical and feasible given the intended use of the building, all major facility projects receiving funding from the state general fund or the state permanent building fund or financed through the Idaho state building authority shall be designed, constructed and certified to meet a target of at least ten percent (10%) to thirty percent (30%) better efficiency than a building of equal size, function and orientation built on the same site to the requirements of then current state building codes as provided in section 39-4109, Idaho Code. Full commissioning shall be considered on all major facility projects.

(2) The provisions of subsection (1) of this section shall apply to major facility projects that have not entered the schematic design phase prior to the effective date of this chapter.

(3) Beginning in 2009, on or before December 1 of each year, the division of public works, in cooperation with each appropriate state agency, shall submit a report to the permanent building fund advisory council, the legislature and the governor. The report shall describe the ongoing implementation of this chapter with achieved energy efficiency data and supporting narrative for each major facility project designed, constructed or certified as provided in subsection (1) of this section during the previous year.

(4) The governor shall designate a state office or agency to provide technical assistance to the state agencies and the permanent building fund advisory council on the implementation of this chapter.
