Energy performance standards and life-cycle cost analyses for state buildings.

(b) The Commissioner of Economic and Community Development and the Commissioner of Energy and Environmental Protection shall jointly establish and publish energy performance standards for buildings constructed as part of state-owned and state-financed housing projects and establish standards for life-cycle cost analyses for such projects. In establishing such standards, the commissioners shall consider (1) the coordination, positioning and solar orientation of the project on its situs, (2) the amount of glazing, degree of sun shading and direction of exposure, (3) the levels of insulation incorporated into the design, (4) the variable occupancy and operating conditions of the facility, (5) all architectural features which affect energy consumption, and (6) the design and location of all heating, cooling, hot water and electrical systems. (c) A life-cycle cost analysis of a major capital project prepared for the Department of Housing shall be reviewed by the Commissioner of Economic and Community Development and the Commissioner of Energy and Environmental Protection to determine if such analysis is in compliance with the life-cycle cost analyses standards established for such project under subsection (b) of this section. (d) Each state agency preparing a life-cycle cost analysis under this section shall submit a summary of the analysis to the Commissioner of Energy and Environmental Protection. See Sec. 16a-38i re reduction of energy use.
