Description
Contact Information
Appendix 120.AA known as the "stretch code", was adopted by the Massachusetts Board of Building Regulations and Standards in May 2009, as an optional appendix to the Massachusetts Building Code 780 CMR. The stretch code may be adopted by any town or city in the commonwealth, by decision of its governing body following a public hearing. The MA stretch code requires a HERS index of 65 or less for new homes of 3,000 ft2 or above, and 70 or less for new homes below 3,000 ft2 (this includes multi-family units in buildings of 3 stories or less). Home additions and renovations have two options to meet the stretch code. The stretch code also applies a performance-based code to commercial buildings, with the option of a prescriptive code for small and medium-sized commercial buildings. Buildings smaller than 5,000 ft2 are exempt, as are building renovations. "Specialty" buildings (e.g. supermarkets, laboratories, warehouses) below 40,000 ft2 in size are also exempt.

The order also made requirements for state vehicle purchases and state purchases of renewable electricity. The New York State Energy Green and Clean Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) is tasked with State Buildings, implementing the various provisions of the order. In addition, 2008 NYSERDA is required to generate energy efficiency equipment standards for products for which Energy Star labeling is not available.

The Arlington County Green Building Density Incentive Policy applies to special exception site plan requests for bonus density and/or height. The program uses the LEED rating system as a standard for measuring each project. The FAR bonus depends on the level of LEED Certification and building type (commercial, high-rise residential). The County established a Green Building Fund; builders that do not commit to a LEED rating contribute to the Fund. The contribution is calculated at a rate of $0.045 per square foot. (This calculation is based on the fees assessed by the USGBC for registration and evaluation of a formal LEED application.) The Green Building Fund is used to provide education and outreach to developers and the community on green building issues. If a project receives LEED certification from the USGBC, the Fund contribution is refunded upon receipt of the final LEED certification.

Built Green
Built Green is a residential building program of the Master Builders Association of King and Snohomish Counties, developed in partnership with King County, Snohomish County, and other agencies in Washington State. Building and development projects are qualified using one of four Built Green checklists, depending on the type of project, organized into categories. Builders, remodelers, architects and developers use the checklists prior to construction to determine which features to include in the home. When construction is complete, builders send a signed copy of the checklist to the MBA, certifying that the home identified in the application contains the identified features. Unlike most other Built Green Programs, the number of points required is dependent upon the size of home. Based upon the builder’s submission, and after reviewing the application, the MBA will award the appropriate Certificate of Merit indicating that the home has received a 1-, 2-, 3-, 4- or 5-Star rating.

ECMs cited in the bill include energy performance contracting, energy efficient lighting retrofits, water conservation devices, weatherization, efficient heating and cooling devices, and employee training.
Life Cycle Cost Analysis Standards, 1990
Maryland's Life Cycle Cost Analysis Standards were established in 1990 requiring the DGS to include an evaluation of the use of renewable energy systems (including active and passive solar and wind systems) and energy efficient strategies (including the effect of insulation, the amount and type of glass, and direction of exposure) in creating standards for determining a building's life-cycle costs. Additionally, in determining life-cycle costs, an energy consumption analysis is required for each major piece of equipment in the building’s chief energyconsuming systems (including cooling, heating, hot water, lighting and ventilation systems).

Leading by Example, 2007, Public Building Energy Standards, 2008
Description
The Massachusetts Leading by Example program oversees and coordinates Massachusetts state agencies, University of Massachusetts campuses, state and community colleges, to reduce environmental impact through the use of clean energy and efficient buildings. The Public Building Energy Standards sets a reduction goal for greenhouse gasses as well as reduced energy usage per FY2004 baseline. For all buildings where the state pays for energy, energy reduction goals are: 20% by 2012, and 35% by 2020. Water reduction goals are also set at 10% by 2012, and 15% by 2020. All new State construction must also meet "Mass. LEED Plus" standards as established by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Sustainable Design Roundtable. Currently, this means: LEED Certification (for projects larger than 20,000 ft2), 20% better energy performance than Mass. code, third party commissioning, 50% reduction in outdoor water use/20% reduction in indoor use (per standard baseline projections), and conformance with one of four "smart growth criteria".

Build Green Maine,
Seems more like an institute: http://www.buildgreenmaine.org/About-Us/ partnership between Midcoast Magnet and the New Forest Institute
In November 2003, Maine's governor signed an executive order directing that Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED*) standards be incorporated into the design, construction, operation and maintenance of any new, expanded or existing building owned or operated by any state agency, board, office, commission or department, including institutions of higher learning, provided that doing so is costeffective over the life of the building. The order directs all branches of state government to cooperate with the Maine Department of Administrative and Financial Services in supplying the department with the necessary resources, information and other assistance to meet these requirements. School administrative districts and municipalities are not required to comply with these standards under this order. Maine
Maine Statutes Title 5, Section 1764-A also requires all planning and design for the construction of new or Public Building Energy substantially renovated buildings owned or leased by the state include: (1) the consideration of energy Standard, 2003 efficiency, (2) an energy-use target that exceeds standards for commercial and institutional buildings by at least 20%, and (3) a life-cycle cost analysis over a minimum of 30 years that explicitly addresses the costs and benefits of efficiency improvements. In addition, on March 17, 2005, the governor of Maine announced that the state would join the federal "Energy Star Challenge." As part of this partnership, the state is committed to encouraging building owners and operators throughout Maine to improve energy efficiency by 10% or more using performance contracting and other mechanisms. The state will also measure and track energy use and greenhouse-gas emissions from government buildings and identify the best ways to improve energy efficiency in those buildings. The City of Rockville is currently revising Chapter 5 of the City Code, “Buildings and Building Regulations.” The purpose of these revisions is to update our building codes to meet current state codes, and to update and include local amendments to create an innovative, demanding yet flexible system protective of health, safety and the environment. The City is also taking this opportunity to include several “green” provisions, such as increased energy and water efficiency requirements, as well as adding a new article, Article XIV, titled “Green Building Regulations.” The City released the draft building codes on May 1, 2009, for public review and comment, and held two public meetings. Stakeholder comments received during this time were tabulated into a matrix, showing staff response to each issue raised. These comments guided the creation of the formal ordinance that was introduced to the Mayor and Council at their June 22, 2009, meeting. A public hearing for this ordinance was held at the July 13, 2009, Mayor and Council meeting.
Maryland, Rockville
City of Rockville Chapter 5 Building Codes Update and Green Revisions - In progress
This initial building ordinance was based on the 2006 International Code Council (ICC) building code recommendations. However, City staff have recently discovered that the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development intends to adopt the newly released 2009 ICC building codes this fall. To remain in keeping with state code, Rockville intends to incorporate the 2009 codes into the building code amendments, and re-release the revised ordinance for public comment in October. These changes will delay the adoption of building code amendments, which include provisions for green buildings, to allow incorporation of the more up-to-date 2009 building codes. The intent and wording of Rockville's amendments to the 2009 codes will remain similar, if not identical, to the language used in the 2006 amendments released in June. Certain changes may need to be made to reference the appropriate sections of the 2009 codes. The initial building code ordinance based upon the 2006 ICC codes is available for review below. The updated ordinance referencing the 2009 ICC codes will be posted when they are made available. Comments or questions may be submitted via e-mail at [email protected] or via telephone to Nate Wall, environmental specialist, at 240-314-8872.

EMAILED JOHN MORRISON 8/1 CALL BY 8/5 In June 2008, the governor of Oklahoma signed legislation requiring the state to develop a high-performance building certification program for state construction and renovation projects. The standard, which will be developed by the Oklahoma Department of Central Services (DCS), must be meet the certification guidelines of either the LEED system or the Green Building Initiative's Green Globes rating system.
Oklahoma
State Building Energy Standards, 2007
The requirement applies to new construction or substantial renovation projects that begin the design phase after July 1, 2008 in buildings larger than 10,000 square feet. Substantial renovations are defined as projects that cost in excess of 50% of the value of the facility. State agencies are directed to meet the highest level of certification attainable under a payback period of 5 years or less. The law specifically exempts public schools and state archive buildings from the requirement, as well as buildings that do not contain heating, ventilation, or air conditioning system. In cases where the increased initial cost of achieving certification is expected to be greater than 5%, the design must be examined by the DCS prior to being approved. The DCS also has general discretionary authority to grant exemptions for other extenuating circumstances.

By offering high-efficiency equipment rebates and building-design incentives, this programs helps commercial customers bring down the cost of installing energy-efficient equipment and features in new construction, renovations, additions, remodeling, equipment replacement or manufacturing process improvements. This is achieved primarily though cash rebates for installing pre-qualified energy efficient equipment such as gas furnaces and boilers, water heaters and booster water heaters, gas absorption chillers and desiccant systems. Incentives can also be received for other types of energy-efficient equipment. The program provides technical assistance and identifies qualifying equipment for participants. For larger-scale projects, marketing consultants can suggest ways to improve the overall efficiency of building designs and identify opportunities to benefit from design incentives.

Energy Efficiency and Sustainable Design Requirements
The Town of Epping, New Hampshire, passed an ordinance in March 2007 that established a new building code that is more stringent than the state energy code. The town's Energy Efficiency and Sustainable Design code is based on a system that awards points for various sustainable elements and building practices, including the use of renewable energy, the orientation of the building, the materials used, the energy efficiency of the building envelope and HVAC system, operational practices, and construction waste management. The town also allows for innovative techniques on a case-by-case basis to convey compliance in a specific effort to promote new technologies and flexibility. The amount of points required by the ordinance is determined by the square footage of the building and ranges from five points for developments of 5,000 square feet or smaller to 25 points for developments larger than 50,000 square feet. The number of points awarded for sustainable measures incorporated into the building varies depending on the type of measure and the degree to which the measure is adopted, and is heavily weighted toward energy production. The minimum required performance for an installed photovoltaic (PV) system, for example, is equal to a range of 10% - 50% of the estimated base load. Systems that meet this requirement are awarded 10 points. (PV systems which have a higher performance rating can be awarded up to 15 points.) Similarly, the capacity of a wind-energy system must be equal to or greater than 5 kilowatts (kW) at a rated wind speed of 20 mph to achieve 10 points. (Wind-energy systems that have a greater generation capacity may earn up to 15 points.)
The Vermont Building Greener Program is a voluntary certification program for residential buildings in Vermont. VBG both certifies and quantifies that homes participating in the program are constructed to sustainable criteria. VBG is an initiative of Building for Social Responsibility, and is the first green building certification program in the Northeast. The VBG program criteria have been created and supported by regional experts, and are being used as a sustainable standard in Vermont and elsewhere. It Vermont Builders Green is anticipated that VBG and programs like it will serve as a model for other similar green building certification programs in the region. Contact BSR for information on the VBG Program, to participate on the VBG Program Committee, or to have a project certified.

The Miami Beach City Commission adopted a Green Building Ordinance, requiring all new municipal buildings to achieve LEED Silver certification and all existing municipal buildings to achieve LEED Silver certification for Existing Buildings: Operations and Maintenance. The legislation also establishes incentives for green building projects including expedited plan review and expedited building inspections. In addition, developers of green buildings shall receive a refund of the actual application and review fees for Green Building Program certification and an amount not greater than 5% of the incremental cost of making the building achieve LEED Silver certification. The City will also allow projects that are part of the Green Building Program to put up signage designating their building as such and will highlight program participants on a City website.

Minnesota Green Star, 2005
The City of Richmond is currently developing commercial and residential green building standards for private development. View a current draft of the green building ordinance, which was presented to City Council for first reading on April 7, 2009. The City originally planned for the commercial and residential green building standards to take effect on August 1, 2009. However, because the State has delayed the implementation of the 2008 version of the California Title 24 Building Energy Efficiency Standards until January 1, 2010 the City's ordinance will also be delayed. The draft green building ordinance will return the City Council in September for an anticipated January 1, 2010 implementation date. Check back here for updates! Sponsored by the Minnesota Pollution Control Board, Minnesota Green Star is a "green" building standard and certification program for both existing and new homes that includes provisions for: energy efficiency, resource efficiency (including durability), indoor environmental quality, water conservation, and site and community. Minnesota Green Star is integrated w/ Energy Star and Federal Energy Efficiency tax credit ($2,000).

Description
Contact Information
Appendix 120.AA known as the "stretch code", was adopted by the Massachusetts Board of Building Regulations and Standards in May 2009, as an optional appendix to the Massachusetts Building Code 780 CMR. The stretch code may be adopted by any town or city in the commonwealth, by decision of its governing body following a public hearing. The MA stretch code requires a HERS index of 65 or less for new homes of 3,000 ft2 or above, and 70 or less for new homes below 3,000 ft2 (this includes multi-family units in buildings of 3 stories or less). Home additions and renovations have two options to meet the stretch code. The stretch code also applies a performance-based code to commercial buildings, with the option of a prescriptive code for small and medium-sized commercial buildings. Buildings smaller than 5,000 ft2 are exempt, as are building renovations. "Specialty" buildings (e.g. supermarkets, laboratories, warehouses) below 40,000 ft2 in size are also exempt.

The order also made requirements for state vehicle purchases and state purchases of renewable electricity. The New York State Energy Green and Clean Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) is tasked with State Buildings, implementing the various provisions of the order. In addition, 2008 NYSERDA is required to generate energy efficiency equipment standards for products for which Energy Star labeling is not available.

The Arlington County Green Building Density Incentive Policy applies to special exception site plan requests for bonus density and/or height. The program uses the LEED rating system as a standard for measuring each project. The FAR bonus depends on the level of LEED Certification and building type (commercial, high-rise residential). The County established a Green Building Fund; builders that do not commit to a LEED rating contribute to the Fund. The contribution is calculated at a rate of $0.045 per square foot. (This calculation is based on the fees assessed by the USGBC for registration and evaluation of a formal LEED application.) The Green Building Fund is used to provide education and outreach to developers and the community on green building issues. If a project receives LEED certification from the USGBC, the Fund contribution is refunded upon receipt of the final LEED certification.

Built Green
Built Green is a residential building program of the Master Builders Association of King and Snohomish Counties, developed in partnership with King County, Snohomish County, and other agencies in Washington State. Building and development projects are qualified using one of four Built Green checklists, depending on the type of project, organized into categories. Builders, remodelers, architects and developers use the checklists prior to construction to determine which features to include in the home. When construction is complete, builders send a signed copy of the checklist to the MBA, certifying that the home identified in the application contains the identified features. Unlike most other Built Green Programs, the number of points required is dependent upon the size of home. Based upon the builder’s submission, and after reviewing the application, the MBA will award the appropriate Certificate of Merit indicating that the home has received a 1-, 2-, 3-, 4- or 5-Star rating.

ECMs cited in the bill include energy performance contracting, energy efficient lighting retrofits, water conservation devices, weatherization, efficient heating and cooling devices, and employee training.
Life Cycle Cost Analysis Standards, 1990
Maryland's Life Cycle Cost Analysis Standards were established in 1990 requiring the DGS to include an evaluation of the use of renewable energy systems (including active and passive solar and wind systems) and energy efficient strategies (including the effect of insulation, the amount and type of glass, and direction of exposure) in creating standards for determining a building's life-cycle costs. Additionally, in determining life-cycle costs, an energy consumption analysis is required for each major piece of equipment in the building’s chief energyconsuming systems (including cooling, heating, hot water, lighting and ventilation systems).

Leading by Example, 2007, Public Building Energy Standards, 2008
Description
The Massachusetts Leading by Example program oversees and coordinates Massachusetts state agencies, University of Massachusetts campuses, state and community colleges, to reduce environmental impact through the use of clean energy and efficient buildings. The Public Building Energy Standards sets a reduction goal for greenhouse gasses as well as reduced energy usage per FY2004 baseline. For all buildings where the state pays for energy, energy reduction goals are: 20% by 2012, and 35% by 2020. Water reduction goals are also set at 10% by 2012, and 15% by 2020. All new State construction must also meet "Mass. LEED Plus" standards as established by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Sustainable Design Roundtable. Currently, this means: LEED Certification (for projects larger than 20,000 ft2), 20% better energy performance than Mass. code, third party commissioning, 50% reduction in outdoor water use/20% reduction in indoor use (per standard baseline projections), and conformance with one of four "smart growth criteria".

Build Green Maine,
Seems more like an institute: http://www.buildgreenmaine.org/About-Us/ partnership between Midcoast Magnet and the New Forest Institute
In November 2003, Maine's governor signed an executive order directing that Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED*) standards be incorporated into the design, construction, operation and maintenance of any new, expanded or existing building owned or operated by any state agency, board, office, commission or department, including institutions of higher learning, provided that doing so is costeffective over the life of the building. The order directs all branches of state government to cooperate with the Maine Department of Administrative and Financial Services in supplying the department with the necessary resources, information and other assistance to meet these requirements. School administrative districts and municipalities are not required to comply with these standards under this order. Maine
Maine Statutes Title 5, Section 1764-A also requires all planning and design for the construction of new or Public Building Energy substantially renovated buildings owned or leased by the state include: (1) the consideration of energy Standard, 2003 efficiency, (2) an energy-use target that exceeds standards for commercial and institutional buildings by at least 20%, and (3) a life-cycle cost analysis over a minimum of 30 years that explicitly addresses the costs and benefits of efficiency improvements. In addition, on March 17, 2005, the governor of Maine announced that the state would join the federal "Energy Star Challenge." As part of this partnership, the state is committed to encouraging building owners and operators throughout Maine to improve energy efficiency by 10% or more using performance contracting and other mechanisms. The state will also measure and track energy use and greenhouse-gas emissions from government buildings and identify the best ways to improve energy efficiency in those buildings. The City of Rockville is currently revising Chapter 5 of the City Code, “Buildings and Building Regulations.” The purpose of these revisions is to update our building codes to meet current state codes, and to update and include local amendments to create an innovative, demanding yet flexible system protective of health, safety and the environment. The City is also taking this opportunity to include several “green” provisions, such as increased energy and water efficiency requirements, as well as adding a new article, Article XIV, titled “Green Building Regulations.” The City released the draft building codes on May 1, 2009, for public review and comment, and held two public meetings. Stakeholder comments received during this time were tabulated into a matrix, showing staff response to each issue raised. These comments guided the creation of the formal ordinance that was introduced to the Mayor and Council at their June 22, 2009, meeting. A public hearing for this ordinance was held at the July 13, 2009, Mayor and Council meeting.
Maryland, Rockville
City of Rockville Chapter 5 Building Codes Update and Green Revisions - In progress
This initial building ordinance was based on the 2006 International Code Council (ICC) building code recommendations. However, City staff have recently discovered that the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development intends to adopt the newly released 2009 ICC building codes this fall. To remain in keeping with state code, Rockville intends to incorporate the 2009 codes into the building code amendments, and re-release the revised ordinance for public comment in October. These changes will delay the adoption of building code amendments, which include provisions for green buildings, to allow incorporation of the more up-to-date 2009 building codes. The intent and wording of Rockville's amendments to the 2009 codes will remain similar, if not identical, to the language used in the 2006 amendments released in June. Certain changes may need to be made to reference the appropriate sections of the 2009 codes. The initial building code ordinance based upon the 2006 ICC codes is available for review below. The updated ordinance referencing the 2009 ICC codes will be posted when they are made available. Comments or questions may be submitted via e-mail at [email protected] or via telephone to Nate Wall, environmental specialist, at 240-314-8872.

EMAILED JOHN MORRISON 8/1 CALL BY 8/5 In June 2008, the governor of Oklahoma signed legislation requiring the state to develop a high-performance building certification program for state construction and renovation projects. The standard, which will be developed by the Oklahoma Department of Central Services (DCS), must be meet the certification guidelines of either the LEED system or the Green Building Initiative's Green Globes rating system.
Oklahoma
State Building Energy Standards, 2007
The requirement applies to new construction or substantial renovation projects that begin the design phase after July 1, 2008 in buildings larger than 10,000 square feet. Substantial renovations are defined as projects that cost in excess of 50% of the value of the facility. State agencies are directed to meet the highest level of certification attainable under a payback period of 5 years or less. The law specifically exempts public schools and state archive buildings from the requirement, as well as buildings that do not contain heating, ventilation, or air conditioning system. In cases where the increased initial cost of achieving certification is expected to be greater than 5%, the design must be examined by the DCS prior to being approved. The DCS also has general discretionary authority to grant exemptions for other extenuating circumstances.

By offering high-efficiency equipment rebates and building-design incentives, this programs helps commercial customers bring down the cost of installing energy-efficient equipment and features in new construction, renovations, additions, remodeling, equipment replacement or manufacturing process improvements. This is achieved primarily though cash rebates for installing pre-qualified energy efficient equipment such as gas furnaces and boilers, water heaters and booster water heaters, gas absorption chillers and desiccant systems. Incentives can also be received for other types of energy-efficient equipment. The program provides technical assistance and identifies qualifying equipment for participants. For larger-scale projects, marketing consultants can suggest ways to improve the overall efficiency of building designs and identify opportunities to benefit from design incentives.

Energy Efficiency and Sustainable Design Requirements
The Town of Epping, New Hampshire, passed an ordinance in March 2007 that established a new building code that is more stringent than the state energy code. The town's Energy Efficiency and Sustainable Design code is based on a system that awards points for various sustainable elements and building practices, including the use of renewable energy, the orientation of the building, the materials used, the energy efficiency of the building envelope and HVAC system, operational practices, and construction waste management. The town also allows for innovative techniques on a case-by-case basis to convey compliance in a specific effort to promote new technologies and flexibility. The amount of points required by the ordinance is determined by the square footage of the building and ranges from five points for developments of 5,000 square feet or smaller to 25 points for developments larger than 50,000 square feet. The number of points awarded for sustainable measures incorporated into the building varies depending on the type of measure and the degree to which the measure is adopted, and is heavily weighted toward energy production. The minimum required performance for an installed photovoltaic (PV) system, for example, is equal to a range of 10% - 50% of the estimated base load. Systems that meet this requirement are awarded 10 points. (PV systems which have a higher performance rating can be awarded up to 15 points.) Similarly, the capacity of a wind-energy system must be equal to or greater than 5 kilowatts (kW) at a rated wind speed of 20 mph to achieve 10 points. (Wind-energy systems that have a greater generation capacity may earn up to 15 points.)
The Vermont Building Greener Program is a voluntary certification program for residential buildings in Vermont. VBG both certifies and quantifies that homes participating in the program are constructed to sustainable criteria. VBG is an initiative of Building for Social Responsibility, and is the first green building certification program in the Northeast. The VBG program criteria have been created and supported by regional experts, and are being used as a sustainable standard in Vermont and elsewhere. It Vermont Builders Green is anticipated that VBG and programs like it will serve as a model for other similar green building certification programs in the region. Contact BSR for information on the VBG Program, to participate on the VBG Program Committee, or to have a project certified.

The Miami Beach City Commission adopted a Green Building Ordinance, requiring all new municipal buildings to achieve LEED Silver certification and all existing municipal buildings to achieve LEED Silver certification for Existing Buildings: Operations and Maintenance. The legislation also establishes incentives for green building projects including expedited plan review and expedited building inspections. In addition, developers of green buildings shall receive a refund of the actual application and review fees for Green Building Program certification and an amount not greater than 5% of the incremental cost of making the building achieve LEED Silver certification. The City will also allow projects that are part of the Green Building Program to put up signage designating their building as such and will highlight program participants on a City website.

Minnesota Green Star, 2005
The City of Richmond is currently developing commercial and residential green building standards for private development. View a current draft of the green building ordinance, which was presented to City Council for first reading on April 7, 2009. The City originally planned for the commercial and residential green building standards to take effect on August 1, 2009. However, because the State has delayed the implementation of the 2008 version of the California Title 24 Building Energy Efficiency Standards until January 1, 2010 the City's ordinance will also be delayed. The draft green building ordinance will return the City Council in September for an anticipated January 1, 2010 implementation date. Check back here for updates! Sponsored by the Minnesota Pollution Control Board, Minnesota Green Star is a "green" building standard and certification program for both existing and new homes that includes provisions for: energy efficiency, resource efficiency (including durability), indoor environmental quality, water conservation, and site and community. Minnesota Green Star is integrated w/ Energy Star and Federal Energy Efficiency tax credit ($2,000).
