Summary:
Arizona law requires that new state building projects over six thousand square feet follow prescribed solar design standards and that solar improvements be evaluated on the basis of life cycle costs. Such new buildings include state office buildings, school districts, community college districts and universities. These projects must include evaluation of: (a) proper site orientation; (b) active and passive solar energy systems for space heating; (c) solar water heating; and (d) use of solar daylighting devices. The life cycle cost requirements state that solar energy and energy conservation design, equipment and materials shall be used if the simple payback in energy savings is eight years or less.
