may be errors. We will make every attempt to correct those found.

efficiency; water efficiency, indoor environmental quality, homeowner
education, and global impact. The Guidelines offer three levels of green
building: Bronze, Silver, and Gold. This program is supported and
verified through local Home Builders Associations, sometimes in
partnerships with state energy offices, utilities, and other entities.
A voluntary third party rating system owned by the Building Industry

Institute and administered by Consol. Residential new home builders,
California Green Builder both single-family and four stories or less multi-family, can earn
California Green Builder certification by meeting all program
requirements and by following certain protocols.

Maine Build Green Maine,
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 cost-
effective 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 Statutes Title 5, Section 1764-A also requires all planning and design for the construction of new or
Maine 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.
City of Rockville Chapter This initial building ordinance was based on the 2006 International Code Council (ICC) building code
5 Building Codes Update recommendations. However, City staff have recently discovered that the Maryland Department of
Maryland, Rockville
and Green Revisions - In Housing and Community Development intends to adopt the newly released 2009 ICC building codes this
progress 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.

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.
The requirement applies to new construction or substantial renovation projects that begin the design phase
State Building Energy after July 1, 2008 in buildings larger than 10,000 square feet. Substantial renovations are defined as
Oklahoma
Standards, 2007 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
New Jersey Smart Start Buildings 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.

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
Energy Efficiency and developments of 5,000 square feet or smaller to 25 points for developments larger than 50,000 square feet.
New Hampshire,
Sustainable Design
Epping
Requirements
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 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
Florida, Miami the Green Building Program to put up signage designating their building as such and will highlight
Beach program participants on a City website.
Commercial and Residential
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
Commercial and implementation of the 2008 version of the California Title 24 Building Energy Efficiency Standards until
Residential Green January 1, 2010 the City's ordinance will also be delayed. The draft green building ordinance will return
