Green building rating system.
The owner or the owner's designated agent shall be responsible for the
operation and maintenance of building sites. The requirements of the green
building code shall be incorporated and implemented in new and renova-
tion work. Alterations and repairs to building sites shall comply with the
code provisions. Building materials used for building site development shall
comply with the requirements of the code materials; systems already in use
on a building site that are in conformance with the requirements or approvals
in effect at the time of their installation shall be permitted to remain in use
unless determined by the code official to be dangerous to the environment,
life, health or safety. Where such conditions are determined to be dangerous
to the environment, life, health or safety, they shall be mitigated or made safe.
