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

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.
