Summary of Legislation: (Amended) The bill allows the Indiana Department of Administration to award
a contract not later than December 31, 2025 for a feasibility study concerning conducting an energy audit
on the: (1) Indiana State Capitol Building; and (2) Indiana Government Center North and South Buildings.
It also provides that the study's cost must be less than $100,000.
Effective Date: July 1, 2025.
Explanation of State Expenditures: (Revised) If the Indiana Department of Administration (IDOA) issues
proposals and a proposal is accepted, state General Fund expenditures could increase by up to $100,000 to
conduct an energy audit. The actual cost would depend on the agreed upon price reached by the IDOA and
the vendor within the accepted proposal, and whether the campus’s current energy provider does not offer
the audit free of charge.
(Revised) Additional Information– Typically, large buildings and facilities would require an ASHRAE Level
III energy audit which may range in price from $0.36 to $0.50 per square foot. The State House and
Government Center North and South Buildings are roughly 1.4 M square feet in total.
