What’s in it
AI summary Iowa's Department of Administrative Services must hire experts to inspect the insulation in every state-owned building. These inspections will happen once by 2028 and then every four years to find any missing or broken insulation. The reports will show how much energy is being lost and how much it would cost to fix the problems.1
Read the official explanation
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.
