Minnesota Veterans Home — Report Portal

Thank you for participating in the Energy Assessment & Quality Assurance Program, provided through the International Association of Heat & Frost Insulators and Allied Workers. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out — and please allow 4–6 weeks for the contractor bidding process to complete. Select a building below to view its full energy audit report. Each assessment details NAIMA 3E Plus thermal performance findings, infrared imaging results, projected savings analysis, and line-item insulation recommendations — compiled across all 12 facilities of the Minneapolis campus. Please note: these are preliminary estimates — final report numbers may vary by 1%–3%.

Combined Findings Across All 12 Facilities

When the recommendations from all twelve facility audits are implemented, the Minneapolis campus realizes the following combined energy, cost, and environmental savings every year.
