In addition, the energy reduction goals in the bill would require large-scale application of technologies that are not compatible with facilities in urban environments. The requirements for LEED Existing Building (LEED EB) certification would increase the scope and cost of minor repair projects. The standards for leased space would likely force the relocation of state tenants and make rental of space in some areas impracticable.
The underlying goals of the bill are laudable and I remain fully committed to green building practices and energy conservation initiatives. Unfortunately, though the bill affects all moneys available for the state building program, it does not contain an appropriation, so I cannot fix the unworkable provisions of the bill. As such, I am directing the Department of Administration to incorporate goals and processes similar to Senate Bill 616 into capital budget legislation for the 2011-13 biennium.
Respectfully Submitted,
JIM DOYLE
Governor
