A bill for an act relating to mechanical insulation inspections for public buildings.

HF 2372 requires Iowa's Department of Administrative Services to contract with qualified contractors to assess mechanical insulation (insulation around pipes, boilers, and HVAC systems) in all state-owned public buildings within 10 years. The assessment must identify energy-saving opportunities, health risks, and necessary repairs, with findings posted online within 30 days. If repairs could cut carbon emissions and energy use by over 30%, the department must implement them within 12 months; immediate action is required for health or safety issues. The law expires on July 1, 2037.
