Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.

Federal green labels not blocked by fossil fuels

If enacted, federal building certification systems would not be allowed to deny green or high performance labels just because a building uses fossil fuels, directly or indirectly. This rule would apply to the systems used under the Energy Conservation and Production Act and the Energy Independence and Security Act. It would take effect on the date of enactment.

Energy Department to redo federal building rules

If enacted, two Energy Department regulations for federal buildings (10 CFR part 435 Subpart B and part 433 Subpart B) would have no force starting on enactment. The Energy Department would then have 180 days to issue new or revised rules. Until those rules are issued, the law would be applied as if two earlier subclauses had never taken effect. This would ease short-term compliance for agencies and contractors but delay tighter efficiency steps until the rewrite.
