56.775 Required high-performance building standards -- Use of energy-efficiency
products.
To improve energy efficiency throughout state government, the cabinet and universities
that manage their own capital construction projects under KRS 164A.580 shall:
(1) Beginning July 1, 2009, require that all construction or renovation of public
buildings for which fifty percent (50%) or more of the total capital cost is paid by
the Commonwealth shall be designed and constructed, or renovated, to meet the
high-performance building standards established in KRS 56.777. This subsection
applies to all projects that have not entered the design phase prior to January 1,
2009;
(2) Require that all building leases entered into by the Commonwealth or any of its
agencies on and after July 1, 2018, shall meet the high-performance building
standards. From July 15, 2008 and prior to July 1, 2018, a building that meets the
high-performance building standards established in this section shall be given a
preference in the state leasing process over other buildings that do not meet the
high-performance building standards; and
(3) Incorporate ENERGY STAR-qualified products in state agency procurements to the
extent economically feasible using a life-cycle cost analysis.
