An applicant for approval under this section shall submit a letter of commitment to build to the standards and prescriptions of the International Green Construction Code™ and referenced ICC 700 National Green Building Standard at the time of application. Land development permit approval shall contain a condition referencing the applicant's voluntary commitment to this part, and the applicant shall provide all required documentation demonstrating compliance at the time of building permit application, which shall be conditional on compliance with this condition. Additionally, prior to construction the applicant for a building permit under this use group shall submit a written statement from the Pennsylvania-licensed architect or engineer who prepared the building permit plans, certifying that the building was designed and documented to comply with the applicable edition of the International Green Construction Code™ and reference standards, as modified herein, and stating which project electives, if any, are being utilized. The statement shall also include the applicable elements of the green points program utilized in the permit approval. Prior to any occupancy of the building or buildings subject to these conditions, a final compliance statement shall be submitted with the application for a certificate of occupancy. The final compliance statement shall contain relevant project information, a recitation of all green points claimed, a listing of any conditions of permit approval, and a detailed narrative explanation, including photographic documentation, of compliance with the requirements and conditions of the original approved building and site plans, and any conditions attached therewith.
