Book excerpt: "In 2001, the Legislature directed the departments of Administration and Commerce to develop sustainable building guidelines that would be required for certain capital construction projects. Today, those guidelines aim to reduce energy consumption, enhance the health and well-being of building occupants, and improve the quality of the environment. The Office of the Legislative Auditor found that unclear state law, compounded by widespread disagreement and confusion about roles and responsibilities pertaining to the sustainable building guidelines, has led to a program that lacks adequate oversight and accountability. Further, the overall outcomes of the program are unknown, including how the guidelines have affected project costs and building sustainability, as well as the extent to which projects have complied with guideline requirements."--Letter of transmittal.
