Description

Energy efficiency in state government. Establishes a goal of reducing the annual cost of nonrenewable energy purchases by each executive branch agency and institution by at least 20 percent of fiscal year 2008 expenditures by fiscal year 2012. Such agencies and institutions are required to implement energy efficiency measures that have a payback period of five years or less, as general fund appropriations become available to the state agency. The measure also requires executive branch agencies and institutions to ensure that the design and construction of state-owned buildings, and the renovation of such buildings valued at more than 50 percent of the assessed building value, comply with the energy performance standards at least as stringent as the U.S. Green Building Councils Leadership in Energy and Environment Design (LEED) rating system, including the use of Virginia forest products with alternate certifications. Amends § 2.2-1182, of the Code of Virginia. Read the Bill »
