SALEM—Administrative rule changes for Oregon’s State Energy Efficiency Design program go into effect today.
The rule changes include:
-
New definitions for highly efficient facility and Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certification, and
-
A streamlined process to coordinate SEED compliance with equivalent or higher certification processes.
Created by state law in 1991, SEED’s purpose is to ensure that new and renovated state buildings employ cost-effective energy conservation measures that reduce energy use. For more information on SEED, please visit the ODOE website at: http://www.oregon.gov/ENERGY/CONS/SEED/index.shtml.
