The Biden administration has finalized a rule banning the use of fossil fuels in new and renovated federal buildings, aiming to achieve net-zero emissions by 2045.
The U.S. Department of Energy has finalized a rule banning fossil fuels from new and renovated federal buildings . The Clean Energy for New Federal Buildings and Major Renovations of Federal Buildings Rule, mandated by the Energy Independence and Security Act EISA of 2007, mandates a phased reduction in fossil fuel usage in these buildings. The law requires federal buildings and major renovations to phase out fossil fuel-generated energy consumption by 2030.
While projects that are already underway, like Independence Hall, are exempt from the new rule, its implementation aims to accelerate the electrification of federal sites as envisioned in EISA’s Section 433. Advocated by the American Institute of Architects AIA, this provision sought to leverage government leadership to drive technological advancements and cost reductions in climate-friendly measures.
