Minnesota HF4168 modifies renewable energy requirements for state-funded construction projects.

Minnesota HF4168 amends the state statutes to require the Department of Administration, with assistance from other agencies, to develop sustainable building design guidelines for new state buildings and major renovations. These guidelines must ensure that new buildings and major renovations exceed the state energy code by at least 30 percent. The guidelines do not mandate that renewable energy sources be located on the building site. This change applies to any new building project where predesign work is completed after the bill's enactment.
