This bill would repeal federal energy performance standards that require new federal buildings, and those undergoing major renovations, to phase out the use of fossil fuels by the 2030 fiscal year.^2,3 Until the Department of Energy issues revised standards, it would have to carry out the existing standards as if the fossil fuel phase-out had never taken effect.² It would also bar certain green building certification systems from denying a federal building a green or high-performance building certification solely because it uses fossil fuels, directly or indirectly.²
