AI Summary
This bill, titled the Federal Mechanical Insulation Act, clarifies that the proper installation of mechanical insulation is considered an energy or water efficiency measure for federal buildings. Specifically, it amends the National Energy Conservation Policy Act to define "mechanical insulation property" as insulation materials and related products installed in connection with a mechanical system (like heating or cooling) that meet or exceed certain industry standards (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers Standard 90.1) and result in reduced energy loss. This ensures that such installations can be included in comprehensive energy and water evaluations conducted for federal buildings, aiming to improve their efficiency.
