High-Performance Federal Buildings: Meeting EISA Requirements through 2030
The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA) requires federal agencies to reduce the fossil fuel based energy consumption of new and renovated buildings to zero by 2030. Requirements also were placed on existing buildings. As agencies begin to plan for implementing these requirements they are faced with questions on whether the resources and technology will be available to fulfill these requirements. The Federal Facilities Council and coordinating private sector organizations, including NIBS, are pleased to provide the initial venue for an ongoing dialogue on these requirements and how the building community can work together to achieve these requirements and facilitate knowledge and technology transfer between the public and private sectors.
