Federal Clean Buildings: Energy Efficiency and Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Development

This act aims to modernize federal buildings to be more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly. It introduces new standards for leased spaces, promotes reductions in energy and water consumption, and supports the development of electric vehicle infrastructure. Citizens can expect more sustainable management of public properties and potentially healthier workplaces as a result.
Key points
New requirements for government-leased buildings: must meet energy efficiency standards (e.g., Energy Star) and disclose utility consumption data.
Energy and water reduction targets: Federal agencies are mandated to reduce energy consumption by 2.5% annually until 2030 and water by 2% annually.
Building construction and renovation: New federal buildings are to be designed as 'net-zero energy', and existing ones will undergo deep energy retrofits.
Electric vehicle infrastructure development: By 2030, at least 50% of large federal facilities must offer charging or fueling stations for zero-emission vehicles.
Improved health and safety in buildings: Implementation of standards for air and water quality, and flood resilience in federal buildings.
