Bill Summary
AN ACT To amend the Energy Conservation and Production Act to repeal certain Federal building energy efficiency performance standards, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, titled the "Reliable Federal Infrastructure Act," amends the Energy Conservation and Production Act to revise federal building energy efficiency performance standards. Specifically, it repeals certain existing standards found in the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR parts 435 and 433) and modifies the criteria for certifying buildings as "green buildings" or "high-performance green buildings." The key change is that a building's certification should not be denied solely because it uses fossil fuels, either directly or indirectly. The Secretary of Energy is required to issue new or revised regulations within 180 days to reflect these changes, ensuring that the updated standards are implemented as if the repealed requirements had never been in effect until new regulations are finalized.
