On page 7, after line 7 of the amendment, insert the following:
"NEW SECTION. Sec. 9 (1) The department of general
administration must perform energy performance monitoring from July
2009 to July 2011 on each building that has completed an energy audit
and installed energy conservation measures within the last five years
and report to the legislature on the cost of the energy conservation
measures, the projected energy savings, and the actual energy savings
realized.
(2) If three-fifths or more of the buildings surveyed under
subsection (1) of this section fail to either meet the level of the
projected savings annually or recover one-tenth of the cost of the
energy conservation measures installed for the project during the time
cycle, then sections 5 through 8 of this act are null and void June 30,
2012."
Renumber the remaining sections consecutively and correct any internal references accordingly.
EFFECT: Requires GA to do performance monitoring and provide a report to the legislature on each building that has had an energy audit and capital improvements made in the last 5 years. If 3/5 of the buildings fail to either perform at the level of the projected savings annually or recover 1/10 of the capital investment for the project during the time cycle, the sections of the act requiring energy audits become null and void.
