Environment - Building Energy Performance Standards and Energy Use Intensity Targets - Exemptions
In the House - Hearing 3/11 at 1:00 p.m.
Summary
The bill allows commercial or multifamily buildings of 35,000 sq ft or more that received a use‑and‑occupancy permit before June 1 2022 to skip the state’s building energy performance standards and energy‑use‑intensity targets. The exemption remains in place until the building must replace lighting, HVAC or other major components because they fail or reach the end of their useful life. This gives owners additional time before they must meet the new efficiency goals.
