Amends building code to exempt certain projects from net-zero energy standards until new regulations are issued.

The Net Zero Continuity Emergency Amendment Act of 2026 modifies the Clean Energy DC Building Code to exempt specific projects from net-zero energy standards until the Mayor issues final regulations. Exempt projects include temporary buildings, additions under 10,000 square feet, and certain emergency facilities. The act also mandates renewable energy generation at building sites and prohibits on-site fuel combustion for thermal energy, except for backup power. The act repeals two previous temporary amendments and adopts the fiscal impact statement of the Budget Director.
