IN HB1073

Department of Administration must annually conduct energy efficiency audits of state-owned real property identified as least energy efficient, ranking properties and auditing in order of those rankings.

Audits must evaluate equipment efficiency, heating/ventilation/air conditioning energy use, lighting energy use, maintenance procedures, and costs of alternate energy sources for each property.

Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning studies must include inspection of thermal insulation on pipes, ducts, and equipment to assess completeness, dryness, and physical condition.

Audit reports must include energy conservation recommendations, implementation timelines, and projected capital improvement costs to reduce energy use.

Completed audits must be posted on the Department of Administration's website and submitted to the legislative council in electronic format.
