The commissioner must review and study geothermal and solar thermal applications as
possible uses for heating or cooling for all building projects subject to a predesign review under
section 16B.335 that receive any state funding for replacement of heating or cooling systems.
When practicable, geothermal and solar thermal heating and cooling systems must be considered
when designing, planning, or letting bids for necessary replacement or initial installation of
cooling or heating systems in new or existing buildings that are constructed or maintained with
state funds. The predesign review must include a written plan for compliance with this section
from a project proposer.
For the purposes of this section, "solar thermal" means a flat plate or evacuated tube with a
fixed orientation that collects the sun's radiant energy and transfers it to a storage medium for
distribution as energy for heating and cooling.
