Bill > HR568

This bill, titled the Thermal Insulation Efficiency Improvement Act, directs the Secretary of Energy to prepare a report within one year of the bill's enactment. This report will analyze how thermal insulation affects both energy and water usage in federal buildings, specifically for hot and chilled water systems, and will also assess the financial benefits, or return on investment, of installing such insulation. The analysis must consider the cost of water from municipal or regional sources and the savings from avoiding the need for new water sources, and it needs to include projections of energy and water savings over both the short term and a 20-year period.
