Energy Efficiency & Sustainable Construction Act of 2008, EESCA aka “Peach Points Program” aka Peach Points Program

Green Building Standards for the State of Georgia Green Building Standards for the State of Georgia

The Bill

Signed by Governor Perdue on May 6, 2008 “The General Assembly finds that the welfare of this state is enhanced by the promotion of effective energy and environmental standards for construction, rehabilitation, and maintenance of state‐funded facilities and that such standards in turn improve this state’s capacity to design, build and operate high‐performance buildings, contributing to economic growth, promoting job development, and increasing energy conservation.” Directed through the Department of Community Affairs with consultation from the Georgia State Finance and Investment Commission

Forming the Standards

The Objectives

1 Optimize Energy Performance 1 Optimize Energy Performance 2 Increase demand for Georgia construction materials and products 3 Improve environmental quality from reduced pollutant discharge 4 Conserve energy and promote local renewable sources 5 Protect and restore the State’s natural resources 6 Reduce potable water consumption 7 Use life cycle cost analysis to determine a project’s environmental performance 8 Encourage obtaining Energy Star designation

Background & Overview

Regulated Buildings

All new construction building projects exceeding 10,000 sq. ft. A renovation project that is more than 50% of the replacement value of the facility A change in occupancy Any roof replacement project exceeding 10,000 square feet A commercial interior tenant fit‐out project exceeding 10,000 square feet of leasable area where the state is intended to be the lessor of such property.

Background & Overview

Exceptions

A major facility project shall not include a building regardless of size that does not have A major facility project shall not include a building, regardless of size, that does not have conditioned space A state owned building that is on the historical registry Any local, county, or municipal building (or K‐12)

Commissioning

The Steps {Fundamental}

1 Prepare Owner’s Project Requirements p j q 2 Prepare Basis of Design 3 Prepare Commissioning {Cx} Plan 4 Incorporate C req irements into Constr ction Doc ments 4 Incorporate Cx requirements into Construction Documents 5 Introduction and Task assignment meeting i.e. Cx Kickoff 6 Verification of Installation 7 Completion of start‐up test sheets 8 Functional performance tests and verification of TAB reports 9 Summary {Final} Commissioning Report y { } g p

Commissioning

The Steps {Additional}

1 Conduct Cx design review prior to mid‐construction documents g p 2 Review contractor submittals applicable to systems being commissioned 3 Develop a systems manual for the commissioned systems 4 Verif that the req irements for training are completed 4 Verify that the requirements for training are completed
