4    Section 5. The Green Buildings Act is amended  by adding 
5Section 20 as follows:
 
6    (20 ILCS 3130/20 new)
7    Sec. 20. Energy efficiency audits.
8    (a) The Department may do the following: 
9        (1) annually conduct energy efficiency audits of 
10    State-owned real property that the Department considers to 
11    be the least energy efficient; 
12        (2) annually rank State-owned real properties 
13    according to their energy efficiency; and 
14        (3) encourage energy efficiency audits of State-owned 
15    real properties based on the rankings described in

16    paragraph (2). 
17    (b) A State agency may elect to conduct energy efficiency 
18audits of the State-owned real property that houses the State 
19agency regardless of the ranking of the property under 
20paragraph (2) of subsection (a).  The Department may assist a 
21State agency that elects to perform an energy efficiency audit 
22under this subsection. 
23    (c) A State agency that realizes energy cost savings from 
 
 
SB2932 Engrossed- 2 -LRB099 17011 HLH 41364 b

1improvements or energy conservation measures implemented as a 
2result of an energy efficiency audit may retain the amount of 
3savings realized, not to exceed the cost of the energy 
4efficiency audit plus an additional amount not to exceed 10% of 
5the cost of the energy efficiency audit. 
6    (d) An energy efficiency audit performed under this Section 
7must consider a study of all of the following for each real 
8property: 
9        (1) the efficiency of equipment located at the real 
10    property; 
11        (2) the use of energy for heating, ventilation, and air 
12    conditioning; 
13        (3) the use of energy for lighting; 
14        (4) maintenance procedures; and 
15        (5) the cost of alternate sources of energy for any 
16    energy used. 
17    (e) An energy efficiency audit performed under this Section 
18must include all of the following: 
19        (1) recommendations on methods by which to conserve 
20    energy; 
21        (2) an estimate of the time necessary to implement any 
22    recommended change; and 
23        (3) projected costs of any capital improvement 
24    necessary to reduce energy use. 
25    (f) Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning studies 
26described in paragraph (2) of subsection (d) may include the

1inspection of thermal insulation, including pipes, ducts, and 
2equipment, to determine the completeness, dryness, and 
3physical condition of those items. 
4    (g)  A copy of the audit shall be posted on the Department's 
5website. 
  

6    (h) As used in this Section, "Department" means the 
7Department of Central Management Services.
