Supplemental Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, 10 CFR Parts 433 and 435, "Clean Energy for New Federal Buildings and Major Renovations of Federal Buildings"
Department of Energy (DOE) is required by Section 433 of the Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) of 2007 (Pub. L. 110-140) to establish fossil fuel-generated energy consumption standards for new Federal buildings and Federal buildings undergoing major renovation. This draft EA evaluates the potential environmental impacts of DOE adding, by rule, Scope 1 fossil fuel-generated energy consumption standards for new Federal buildings and Federal buildings undergoing major renovations. DOE would add Scope 1 fossil fuel-generated energy consumption standards to the Federal energy efficiency performance standards, found in 10 CFR Parts 433 and 435. This EA replaces DOE/EA-1778, which was cancelled.
For more information, see the Clean Energy for New Federal Buildings and Major Renovations of Federal Buildings project page.
