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.

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.

Phase 1: The City of Taos requires all commercial buildings 6,000 sq ft or greater built in 2009 to achieve LEED Certified, including completion of at least 3 of the LEED water conservation credits, as a condition for obtaining a Certificate of Occupancy. Beginning in 2010, all new commercial High Performance buildings must achieve LEED Certified, including completion of at least Building 3 of the LEED water conversation credits, as a condition for obtaining a Ordinance, 2009 Certificate of Occupancy. Residential applications for homes greater than 3,000 ft2 must submit a HERS index of 85 or less. Phase 2 begins January 1, 2010 - residences of any size must have a HERS index of 80 or less to obtain a certificate of occupancy, commercial building of any size requires a confirmed rating of LEED certified or better with 3 water conservation points. Phases 3 and 4 further increaes efficiencies.
Description
authorities where the heads are appointed by the Governor and for which the Governor has executive authority, must reduce energy consumption by 35% from 1990 levels by 2010 in buildings that they own, lease or operate. # All affected entities shall establish targets and schedules to establish peak electric demand reduction targets for each state facility by 2005 and 2010. # State agencies must select Energy Star labeled products when acquiring or replacing energy using equipment. # New state construction and substantial renovations must follow LEED* green building guidelines to the maximum extent practical. # New state buildings should exceed the state energy code by at least 20% and substantial renovations by at least 10%. # Operations of existing buildings should strive to meet the Energy Star building standards for energy performance and indoor air quality.

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. Guidelines issued by NYSERDA identify several exemptions from the order, including buildings smaller than 5,000 square feet and energy use in leased space that is not billed based on direct use.

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.

NBI Core Performance Stretch Code
Energy Standard

Residential compliance requires: HERS index of 65 on new construction greater than 3,000 ft2, and HERS index of 70 or less for new construction 3,000 ft2 or less. Large buildings of any type over 100,000 ft2, and "specialty" buildings over 40,000 ft2 are required to meet a performance standard set at 20% below the energy usage of the commonly used ASHRAE 90.1-2007 code. Medium-sized commercial buildings, which include residential buildings of four stories or more, but that are less than 100,000 ft2, have the option of meeting the same 20% better than ASHRAE 90.1-2007 performance standard, or using a simplified, prescriptive energy code. The prescriptive code is based on Chapter 5 of the IECC 2009 energy code, and adds incremental efficiency improvements primarily through: a. Building envelope elements (walls, roofs, windows, insulation, etc.) b. Commissioning requirements to ensure that buildings‟ energy systems operate as designed. c. More efficient lighting power densities and improved lighting controls. d. A choice of one of three compliance paths: high efficiency HVAC equipment, further lighting energy reductions, or on-site renewable energy. This prescriptive option for commercial buildings between 5,000 and 100,000 ft2. was developed from the Core Performance program of the New Buildings Institute.

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.

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 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.

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. Guidelines issued by NYSERDA identify several exemptions from the order, including buildings smaller than 5,000 square feet and energy use in leased space that is not billed based on direct use. If a State Entity is unable to reasonably reach the 35% goal of energy efficiency improvements, they are directed to explore the possibility of meeting or exceeding the standards set forth by the ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager (must achieve a rating of 75 or better) building benchmarking program. Executive order number two establishes an energy board annual review process for New York's evolving Energy Plan.

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.

NBI Core Performance Stretch Code
Energy Standard

Residential compliance requires: HERS index of 65 on new construction greater than 3,000 ft2, and HERS index of 70 or less for new construction 3,000 ft2 or less. Large buildings of any type over 100,000 ft2, and "specialty" buildings over 40,000 ft2 are required to meet a performance standard set at 20% below the energy usage of the commonly used ASHRAE 90.1-2007 code. Medium-sized commercial buildings, which include residential buildings of four stories or more, but that are less than 100,000 ft2, have the option of meeting the same 20% better than ASHRAE 90.1-2007 performance standard, or using a simplified, prescriptive energy code. The prescriptive code is based on Chapter 5 of the IECC 2009 energy code, and adds incremental efficiency improvements primarily through: a. Building envelope elements (walls, roofs, windows, insulation, etc.) b. Commissioning requirements to ensure that buildings‟ energy systems operate as designed. c. More efficient lighting power densities and improved lighting controls. d. A choice of one of three compliance paths: high efficiency HVAC equipment, further lighting energy reductions, or on-site renewable energy. This prescriptive option for commercial buildings between 5,000 and 100,000 ft2. was developed from the Core Performance program of the New Buildings Institute.

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.

Sponsored by the Mississippi Development Authority, administration of the program by Energy Rated Homes of Mississippi includes rating supervision and certification, promotion of the Home Energy Rating System (HERS), Energy Efficient Mortgage Program (EEM), and education of housing industry groups on the importance of energy efficiency in new and existing buildings. DOE's recent approval of Mississippi's SEP grant will increase the states efforts in energy conservation. In Mississippi, SEP funds Energy Rated homes of have been divided into four broad categories: Energy Efficient State Buildings, Market Transformation Mississippi and Technology Deployment, Mississippi Job Protection through Energy Economic Development, and Administration. The Energy Efficient State Buildings segment of the program will be among the first to be implemented, and will include programs to reduce energy consumption and costs for state-owned facilities. MDA is currently developing the application process and deadlines for each of these programs and will make that information available as soon as possible.

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.

Commercial and Residential Green Building Standard Pending
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).

Sustainable Building Guidelines, 2003
Designed to be compatable with LEED, the Minnesota Sustainable Building Guildelines (MSBC) were designed to highlight regional needs of buildings. The goals for the program include: a 30% reduction in energy use compared to standard code, lowest lifetime cost for a building, continual improvement in energy efficiency and working productivity, healty indoor air quality and working environment, reduced material costs, and evaluating long-term operating costs. Any State-funded building (in whole or part) must comply with these guidelines. As of April 2009, funded renovations are also required to follow the guidelines.
