A. Upon the request of a state agency or a school district, the department may perform an energy efficiency assessment of a state or school district building to identify the energy efficiency measures that can be installed and operated at a total price that is less than the energy cost savings realized. In addition, the assessment shall include a schedule for funding and installing the energy efficiency measures that will realize significant energy cost savings in the shortest time frame. The department shall develop the assessment of:

(1) state buildings, in conjunction with the facilities management division of the general services department, the staff architect of the division, the capitol buildings planning commission and other state agencies with control and management over buildings; and

(2) school district buildings, in conjunction with the public education department, the public school capital outlay council and the public school facilities authority.

B. State agencies and school districts shall cooperate with the department in the assessment performed pursuant to Subsection A of this section.
