Life cycle costs shall be expressed as an annual cost for each year of the facility's use and capitalization of the initial construction costs.

(3)    Prior to leasing any facility twenty thousand square feet or greater within a given boundary, submit to the office of energy services Ohio facilities construction commission an energy consumption analysis of the facilty'sfacility's heating, refrigeration, cooling, lighting, hot water, and other major energy-consuming systems, components, and equipment for the term of the proposed lease.
