MI HR0423

Urges the Governor to maximize energy-efficiency measures and apply LEED standards when designing, constructing, and renovating state-owned buildings

Notes that Michigan's state buildings comprise nearly 10 million square feet and consume over $10 million annually in energy costs while generating significant greenhouse gas emissions

Identifies energy-efficient technologies including LED lighting, high R-factor building materials, low U-factor windows, and Energy Star-rated heating and cooling systems as cost-saving measures

References Public Act 295 of 2008, which established a goal to reduce state energy consumption by 25 percent by 2015 compared to 2002 baseline, and notes only one state building had achieved LEED certification as of June 2014 with an estimated annual savings of $31,500

Directs copies of the resolution be transmitted to the Governor and the Director of the Department of Technology, Management and Budget
