Proposed Regulations for High Performance Building Construction Standards for State-Funded Buildings
 The Office of Policy and Management ("OPM") recently unveiled a set of proposed regulations for high performance building construction standards for state-funded buildings (the "Proposed Regulations") in Connecticut. The Proposed Regulations are an effort by OPM to implement the statutory "green" building requirements found in Conn. Gen. Stat. § 16a-38k, which became effective January 1, 2009.
That Statute applies to buildings constructed or renovated by the State through State-funding, and requires those buildings to meet or exceed compliance with the silver certification rating of the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design ("LEED") Green Building Rating System for New Construction & Major Renovation, or an equivalent standard, including, but not limited to, a two-globe rating in the Green Globes USA design program.
