Summary

The State Building Construction Act of 1955 authorizes the State Public Works Board to acquire, and to engage in the construction of, cogeneration equipment, alternative energy equipment, or conservation measures, and any combination thereof, and to enter into energy service contracts at any structure, building, facility, site, or work used, owned, or acquired by state agencies, subject to specified criteria. Existing law also requires that all new public buildings be models of energy efficiency and be designed, constructed, and equipped with all energy efficiency measures, materials, and devices that are feasible and cost-effective or the less of the energy efficiency measure. This bill would require all public buildings, as defined to be state public buildings, to conform to a 10-year compliance schedule to achieve reductions in energy and water consumption and to maintain specified water and energy reduction levels on and after January 1, 2025. The bill would require all newly constructed public buildings to have net zero energy consumption or be grid neutral on and after January 1, 2030. The bill would require, on or before January 1, 2013, each public entity operating a public building to provide to the Department of General Services a certified onsite assessment of the facility's energy and water consumption levels. The bill would require applicable public entities to adopt and implement processes outlined in the Green Building Action Plan and to ensure that these processes are consistent with other efficiency measures outlined in existing law. The bill would impose a reporting requirement on the Department of General Services with respect to the attainment of the energy consumption and water use reduction targets.
