Bill > HR4690

This bill seeks to repeal certain federal building energy efficiency performance standards by amending the Energy Conservation and Production Act. Specifically, the bill eliminates section 305(a)(3)(D), which previously established revised energy efficiency standards for federal buildings. The legislation effectively nullifies all previously established standards under this section, treating them as if they had never been in effect. The bill makes corresponding amendments to other related laws, such as the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007, removing references to these energy efficiency standards in sections related to high-performance green federal buildings and federal green building performance. By removing these standards, the bill appears to reduce mandatory energy efficiency requirements for federal buildings, potentially providing more flexibility in building design and construction while potentially reducing regulatory compliance costs for federal infrastructure projects.
