Sponsored by: COMMITTEE ON ENVIRONMENT AND WATER URL:http://www.leg.state.or.us/09reg/measpdf/hb3000.dir/hb3061.intro.pdf ContactRespondentDept Updated Priority Policy Poli Numb Recommendation Ethan Nelson PDD-BPS 3/16/2009 Pri 2 Yes YesIV. A Support Comments: HB 3061 is the House counterpart to SB 79. Both are part of Gov. Kulongoski’s Climate Change Legislative Package. This bill directly addresses energy efficiency in buildings by providing a suite of actions including the rating system, an advisory group, building code updates, and dedicated timeline for implementation. Multiple council policies support this legislation including: IV.A Sustainable Development, IV.B Building Code, IV.C Housing, and VII.A1 Climate Change. Areas of consideration: 1. Sect 1: Provides property rating system for buildings, but does not specify mechanism for regulatory perspective or potential cost recovery. 2. Sect. 3: Advisory group to establish scores must include broad stakeholders including representatives from BOMA, HBA, Utilities, Municipalities, Real Estate, and State Gov. 3. Sect 6: Support: sets timeline for increase in building energy codes for non residential (30%) and residential (15%) by 1/1/2012. 4. Questions: How will the program verify new buildings, by the design model or by actual performance? If this is dependent upon a 3rd party verifier, how to ensure quality verification? The City should support HB 3061 ContactRespondentDept Updated Priority Policy Poli Numb Recommendation Mike Penwell Mike Penwell CS-FAC 3/23/2009 Pri 2 Yes YesIV. A Support Comments: I agree with Ethan's comments in support of this bill. In terms of new City facilities, this bill will have little effect as our green building standards are already higher than this bill is likely to produce. It should be supported on the basis of community and state-wide benefit in terms of increased energy efficiency and reduced greenhouse gas production.
