Reliable Federal infrastructure Act
Congress moves to roll back updated energy-efficiency rules for federal buildings
Reliable Federal Infrastructure Act
Legislative Progress
Key Points
- Congress would cancel updated energy-efficiency performance standards for federal buildings.
- Any revised standards already set under the repealed provision would be treated as if they never took effect.
- Federal agencies would no longer have to follow related “green building” requirements tied to those standards when building or upgrading facilities.
- This could make it easier and faster for the government to build or renovate buildings, but it may also reduce pressure to cut energy use in those buildings.
