Key Points

  • Treats insulation on pipes, ducts, and equipment as an approved way to save energy and water in federal buildings
  • Tells agencies to look for chances to add this insulation during regular energy and water checkups
  • Aims to cut wasted heat, lower utility bills, and reduce pollution from government buildings
  • Likely creates steady work for insulation installers and suppliers without creating a new program or tax
  • Requires insulation work to follow national building efficiency standards for how it is installed
