(1) If a contracting agency intends to install green energy technology, energy use efficiency or woody biomass energy technology away from the site of the public building, the contracting agency must:
- (a) Request from the department, in accordance with OAR 330-135-0052, a technical review of its determination that an away-from-the-site installation is appropriate.
- (b) Comply with the requirements of ORS 279C.527(3)(a) and (b), as amended by Oregon Laws 2019 chapter 160 (HB 2496).
- (2) Installation of green energy technology, energy use efficiency, or woody biomass energy technology away from the site of the public building must meet the same performance requirement as on-site installation as specified in OAR 330-135-0030, OAR 330-135-0031, and OAR 330-135-0032. Installation of energy use efficiency improvements away from the site of the public building shall represent additional, new performance improvements that have not already been funded.
- (3) Consolidation of green energy technology of one or more public buildings that are part of the same project into one public building and in compliance with ORS 279C(7) as amended by Oregon Laws 2019 chapter 160 (HB 2496) is not considered to be construction away from the site of the public building for the purposes of requiring a technical review by the department under this section.
