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 1 Optimize Energy Performance 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.
