POLICY STATEMENT All major facility projects will be planned, designed, constructed, and renovated to meet high performance building standards for energy efficiency and environmental sustainability as defined by the Department of Energy and the State of Oregon. (1) State Energy Efficiency Design is the policy of the State of Oregon that facilities to be constructed or purchased by authorized state agencies be designed, constructed, renovated, and operated so as to minimize the use of nonrenewable energy resources and to serve as models of energy efficiency per ORS 276.900 through 276.915. (2) Green building design and construction is an integral part of OUS Capital Construction. Institution projects should consider design standards that incorporate the 'Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design' (LEED) Silver standards or higher standards, which promote buildings that significantly reduce or eliminate the negative impact of buildings on the environment and occupants. | |
