14711.5
. (a) The department in consultation with the State Energy
Resources Conservation and Development Commission, with the
concurrence of the Department of Finance, shall identify each public
building in the department's state property inventory where it is
feasible for that building to reduce energy consumption and achieve
energy efficiencies, as well as to produce its own onsite electrical
generation or reduce its level of peak demand electricity consumption
using alternative energy equipment, thermal energy storage
technologies, or cogeneration equipment.
(b) The department may consider a variety of factors, including,
but not limited to, the size of the public building, its location,
the ease of conversion to onsite electrical generation, peak demand
reduction efficiency, cost effectiveness, and the amount of megawatts
generated or shifted to off-peak periods.
