changing Section 20 as follows:
|
(20 ILCS 3125/20)
|
Sec. 20. Applicability.
|
(a) The Board shall review and adopt the Code within one |

application is received |
by a municipality or county and (ii) beginning on the effective |
date of this amendatory Act of the 100th General Assembly, each |
State facility specified in Section 4.01 of the Capital |
Development Board Act , except as otherwise provided by this |
Act.
In the case of any addition, alteration, renovation, or |
|
repair to an existing commercial structure, the Code adopted |
under this Act applies only to the portions of that structure |
that are being added, altered, renovated, or repaired. The |
changes made to this Section by this amendatory Act of the 97th |

|
(b) The following buildings shall be exempt from
the Code:
|
(1) Buildings otherwise exempt from the provisions of a |
locally adopted
building code and buildings that do not |
contain a conditioned space.
|
(2) Buildings that do not use either electricity or |
fossil fuel for
comfort
conditioning. For purposes of |
determining whether this exemption applies, a
building |
will be presumed to be heated by electricity, even in the |
absence of
equipment used for electric comfort heating, |
whenever the building is provided
with electrical service |
in excess of 100 amps, unless the code enforcement
official |
determines that this electrical service is necessary for |
purposes
other than providing electric comfort heating.
|
(3) Historic buildings. This exemption shall apply to |
those buildings
that
are listed on the National Register of |
Historic Places or the Illinois
Register of Historic |
Places, and to those buildings that have been designated
as |
historically significant by a local governing body that is |
authorized to
make such designations.
|
|
(4) (Blank). |
(5) Other buildings specified as exempt by the |
International Energy Conservation Code.
|
(c) Additions, alterations, renovations, or repairs to an |
existing building, building system, or portion thereof shall |
conform to the provisions of the Code as they relate to new |
construction without requiring the unaltered portion of the |
existing building or building system to comply with the Code. |
The following need not comply with the Code, provided that the |
energy use of the building is not increased: (i) storm windows |
installed over existing fenestration, (ii) glass-only |
replacements in an existing sash and frame, (iii) existing |
ceiling, wall, or floor cavities exposed during construction, |
provided that these cavities are filled with insulation, and |
(iv) construction where the existing roof, wall, or floor is |
not exposed. |
(d) A unit of local government that does not regulate |
energy efficient building standards is not required to adopt, |
enforce, or administer the Code; however, any energy efficient |
building standards adopted by a unit of local government must |
comply with this Act. If a unit of local government does not |
regulate energy efficient building standards, any |
construction, renovation, or addition to buildings or |
structures is subject to the provisions contained in this Act. |

|
(20 ILCS 3130/15)
|
Sec. 15. Green Buildings Standards.
|
(a) All new State-funded building construction and major |
renovations of existing State-owned facilities must be |
designed to achieve, at a minimum, the silver certification of |
the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design's rating |
system, as established by the United States Green Building |
|
Council, or an equivalent standard, including, but not limited |
to, a two-globe rating in the Green Globes USA design program. |
New buildings and major renovations of 10,000 contiguous square |
feet or more must obtain a USGBC LEED, GBI Green Globes, or |
equivalent certification are required to seek LEED, Green |
Globes, or equivalent certification. |
(b) (Blank). All construction and major renovation |
projects, regardless of size, must achieve the highest level of |
certification practical within the project budget. |
(1) New buildings and major renovations of less than |
10,000 square feet must meet the highest standard of the |
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design's rating |
system for new commercial construction and major |
renovation projects, as established by the United States |
Green Building Council, or an equivalent standard, |
including, but not limited to, the Green Building |
Initiative's Green Globes USA design program. USGBC LEED, |
GBI Green Globes, or the equivalent certification is not |
required. |
(2) New buildings and major renovations of 10,000 |
square feet or more must achieve the silver building rating |
of the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design's |
rating system for new commercial construction and major |
renovation projects, as established by the United States |
Green Building Council, or an equivalent standard, |
including, but not limited to, a two-globe rating in the |
|
Green Globes USA design program. USGBC LEED, GBI Green |
Globes, or the equivalent certification is required. |
(c) Exemptions to these standards are buildings that are |
not "comfort" conditioned buildings, as determined by the |
Board. However, the project design team must document and |
incorporate all appropriate sustainable building methods, |
strategies, and technologies in the final design. |
(d) State agencies and the project design team may apply to |
the Board for a waiver from these standards. |
(e) Waivers shall be granted by the Board or an appropriate |
agency when the applicant can demonstrate and document any of |
the following:
|
(1) An unreasonable financial burden, taking into |
account the operating and construction costs over the life |
of the building and the total cost of ownership of the |
building. |
(2) An unreasonable impediment to construction. |
(3) The standards would impair the principal function |
of the building. |
(4) The standards would compromise the historic nature |
of the structure. |
Documentation on the submittal must include at a minimum: |
(1) Life cycle cost analysis. |
(2) Energy modeling. |
The design team must provide the documentation for the new |
project to confirm that LEED, Green Globes, or the equivalent |
|
construction standards have been followed. |
(f) (Blank). In addition to any required LEED, Green |
Globes, or the equivalent criteria, the Board shall require |
that all projects referenced in subsection (a) implement at |
least one LEED alternative transportation criterion for public |
transportation or bicycle access. |
(g) (Blank). The green building standards contained in this |
Act shall be analyzed and evaluated by the Board 5 years after |
the effective date of this Act or upon the completion of 10 |
Board green projects, whichever comes first.
