(20 ILCS 3953/20) (from Ch. 96 1/2, par. 9820)
Sec. 20. Powers and duties. The Interagency Energy Conservation Committee shall have the authority:
(a) To prepare an annual assessment of opportunities for energy cost reduction in State owned and leased buildings and facilities designated by the committee. Each assessment shall be completed by September 15 of each year, beginning in 1992, shall be available to the public and shall include:
(1) data on energy consumption and costs for each |
| State building and facility designated by the committee for the preceding 5 years and anticipated energy consumption and cost data projected for the next 3 years; | |
(2) energy conservation measures deployed in State |
| buildings and facilities designated by the committee during the preceding year; | |
(3) evaluation studies of the cost reductions and |
| other benefits realized through the deployment of such measures; and | |
(4) energy conservation opportunities (based on |
| audits, technical analyses or other methods of determining such opportunities) and associated energy saving operation and maintenance procedures and capital projects for each State building or facility designated by the committee. | |
(b) To conduct such surveys, audits, technical analyses and other research or investigations as may be necessary to support the preparation of the annual plan and the objectives of this Act.
(c) To review all proposed capital projects and energy cost operating budgets of State agencies designated by the committee and recommend energy conservation measures which would reduce operating costs in buildings or facilities affected by such capital projects.
(d) To develop, after study of existing or emerging energy conservation technologies, guidelines as may be necessary or desirable to further the objectives of this Act or to aid the work of the Committee.
(e) To provide, at the request of the Secretary of State, the Architect of the Capitol, or any other officer or entity of State government, technical and consultative assistance concerning energy cost management or conservation.
(f) To annually recommend to the Governor by November 15, beginning in 1992, specific operations and maintenance procedure modifications and capital projects for State owned and leased buildings and facilities designed to reduce energy consumption and costs.
(g) To issue a report to the Governor and General Assembly by March 31 of each odd‑numbered year, beginning in 1993, describing the status of government building energy cost reduction and management efforts in the State, listing obstacles to building energy efficiency improvement together with related recommendations for statutory change, and identifying opportunities for public sector energy cost reductions not addressed by this Act or the programs developed pursuant hereto.

Sec. 25.
Fluorescent or LED lighting in State buildings.
In order to reduce energy consumption, all buildings owned or leased by the State that are 1,000 square feet in size or larger shall, where practicable, use:
(1) Energy Star labeled light bulbs as defined by the
| Energy Star Program of the United States Environmental Protection Agency; | |
(2) Light‑emitting diode (LED) luminaires, lamps, |
| and systems whose efficacy (lumens per watt) and Color Rendering Index (CRI) meet the Department of Energy requirements for minimum luminaire efficacy and CRI for the Energy Star certification, as verified by an independent third‑party testing laboratory that the federal Environmental Protection Agency Administrator and the Secretary of Energy determine conducts its tests according to the procedures and recommendations of the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America, even if the luminaires, lamps, and systems have not received such certification; or | |
(3) Any combination of (1) and (2).
Prior to implementing the use of Energy Star Light Bulbs, any building to which this Section applies may deplete the supply of non‑Energy Star Light Bulbs it possesses on the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly. Additionally, as most light bulbs contain mercury, all buildings to which this Section applies shall ensure the proper disposal of used light bulbs at a certified hazardous waste recycling facility.
Historic buildings that are listed on the Illinois Register of Historic Places, established pursuant to Section 6 of the Illinois Historic Preservation Act, are exempt from the requirements of this Section.
