§ 15.35.020. Purpose and intent.  


Latest version.
  • To promote economic and environmental health in Oakland, it is key that the City itself, through the design, construction, operations and deconstruction of its own facilities, provide leadership to both the private and public sectors in the arena of energy efficiency and "green" building practices. The most immediate and meaningful way to do this is to require the integration of green building strategies in as many public City buildings as feasible.

    Therefore, the purpose of these provisions is to prescribe green building requirements to covered City building projects and traditional public works projects.

    The City Administrator or designee is authorized to develop rules and regulations to implement the requirements of this Chapter, which may be amended from time to time.
