What’s in it

This bill requires the department of administrative services (department) to contract with a mechanical insulation contractor for a mechanical insulation energy and safety assessment of each public building within the next years. The department must post the findings of each assessment on the department’s internet site within days of the assessment. If an assessment identifies mechanical insulation remediation measures that would reduce the carbon emissions for the building by more than percent and result in energy savings of more than percent, then the department must contract for such remediation measures within months of the assessment. If a public health or safety concern is identified in an assessment, the department must contract for immediate remediation.
