State-funded projects renewable energy requirements modifications

This bill modifies Minnesota's renewable energy requirements for state-funded construction projects by clarifying that sustainable building guidelines do not mandate on-site renewable energy sources. It directs the Department of Administration and Department of Commerce to develop design guidelines for new state buildings and major renovations that must exceed the state energy code by at least 30 percent. The changes apply to projects where predesign work is completed after the bill's enactment, affecting all future state building construction and renovation initiatives.
