The President of OSU met with state legislators to describe the OSU Behavior Based Energy Conservation program and the achieved results in an effort to persuade legislators to pass a bill requiring all state agencies to develop a similar plan. The intention was to establish an energy savings goal for all state agencies. The result was Oklahoma Senate Bill 1096 (Oklahoma State facilities Energy Conservation Program) which was developed to implement an energy conservation program modeled after OSU’s and was signed into law in May 2012. The bill requires a 20% reduction in energy by the year 2020. Additionally, OSU agreed to loan the state its Physical Plant director for a year to help the state implement the program.
