MO SB22

New state-funded construction projects larger than 5,000 gross square feet must be designed and certified to achieve either two Green Globes or LEED Silver standard.

Renovation projects involving more than 50% of square footage and commercial interior fit-outs larger than 7,000 square feet must undergo life cycle cost analysis comparing high-performance building standards against normal industry standards or an intermediate option achieving lowest 30-year costs.

Green Globes certification requires earning at least 20% of available energy performance points; LEED Silver certification requires 24% energy reduction for new buildings or 20% for existing buildings compared to ASHRAE standard 90.1-2007.

Office of Administration may waive sustainability requirements if costs are economically infeasible, and may petition the General Assembly to adopt alternate rating systems no less stringent than Green Globes or LEED Silver.

Certified buildings must be inspected by third-party commissioning agents in years 5, 10, and 15 after certification, and Office of Administration must monitor all projects for 15 years and report findings to legislative committees on energy and environment.
