1904-AB96 202404 Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 1904 Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy EE 1900 Department of Energy DOE Clean Energy for New Federal Buildings and Major Renovations of Federal Buildings

Through this rulemaking, the Department of Energy (DOE) has established energy performance standards for the new construction and major renovation of Federal buildings, including commercial buildings, multifamily high-rise residential buildings, and low-rise residential buildings per the Energy Conservation and Production Act (ECPA), as amended by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA). Consistent with the requirements of ECPA and EISA, DOE has established Federal building energy performance standards that require Federal agencies to reduce their use of on-site use of fossil fuels (which include coal, petroleum, natural gas, oil shales, bitumens, tar sands, and heavy oils) consistent with the targets of ECPA and EISA. The final rule also provides processes by which Federal agencies may petition DOE for a modification to the final standards.
