HF 2549: Requiring mechanical insulation energy audits of state buildings

What it does

This bill requires the department of administrative services to contract with a certified technician to perform a mechanical insulation energy audit for each state-owned building by January 1, 2028, and every four years thereafter. The audit must identify missing and damaged mechanical insulation, determine compliance with American society of heating, refrigerating and air-conditioning engineers standard 90.1, include an estimate of emissions released and energy lost due to damaged and missing mechanical insulation, and provide an estimate for the cost of remediation of damaged and missing mechanical insulation.
