Would add new checks for federal building energy standards, making it harder to require shifts from fossil fuels.
This bill would change how the government decides on energy efficiency standards for federal buildings. It would require the Secretary of Energy to consider things like cost and electric grid reliability. They would also need to consider whether an update would force a building to switch energy types. Importantly, requiring a move away from fossil fuels would count as a negative factor against updating the standards.
Today, the Secretary of Energy updates federal building energy efficiency standards based on industry codes, without explicitly considering factors like cost, grid reliability, or energy source changes. If this bill passes, the Secretary would have to consider these new factors, and a required switch from fossil fuels would count as a negative point against updating the standards.
