This bill cancels two existing federal rules about energy efficiency in government buildings, effective immediately. It also means a federal building cannot be denied a green building certification only because it uses fossil fuels such as natural gas or oil. The Secretary of Energy must write replacement regulations within 180 days.
This bill affects federal government buildings, including offices, courthouses, and other facilities owned or leased by the U.S. government.
Removing the current rules means there are no energy efficiency standards for federal buildings until new regulations are written. Federal buildings that use fossil fuels would remain eligible for green building certification during that period and after.
