Building Montana
The Department of Administration, through the Architecture & Engineering Division, establishes High-Performance Building Standards for the construction, renovation, and maintenance of public buildings in Montana as well as all new state-leased buildings.
High-Performance Building Standards are required for all new buildings and major renovations approved by the Legislature through the Long-Range Building Program.
A “Major Renovation” is a project which will increase the capacity, effect a major change in use, increase the efficiency or economy of operation, or extend the life of an existing fixed asset to a major degree.
The Architecture & Engineering Division manages projects that vary in complexity and scope. The Design Project Manager makes the final decision whether the HPBS apply on a project by project basis.
