Section 5.410.4.7 of Chapter 5 of the California Green Building Standards is added to read:
5.410.4.7 Performance reviews - energy. All projects over 10,000 square feet. The City reserves the right to conduct a performance review, no more frequently than once every five years unless a project fails review, to evaluate the building's energy use to ensure that resources used at the building and/or site do not exceed the maximum allowance set forth in the rehabilitation or new construction design. Following the findings and recommendations of the review, the City may require adjustments to the energy usage or energy-using equipment or systems if the building is no longer compliant with the original design. Renovation or rehabilitation resulting from such audit activity shall be considered a project and shall be subject to applicable documentation submittal requirements of the City. This section is effective only for those projects for which a building permit was issued after January 1, 2009.
