The Net Zero Continuity Temporary Amendment Act of 2026 modifies building energy standards in the District of Columbia.

The Net Zero Continuity Temporary Amendment Act of 2026 amends the Clean Energy DC Building Act to temporarily exempt certain projects from renewable energy requirements until final regulations are issued. It mandates that buildings comply with net-zero-energy standards, with exceptions for temporary buildings, small additions, and essential facilities. Renewable energy must be generated on-site where feasible, and on-site fuel combustion is prohibited except for backup power. The act also repeals previous temporary amendments and will expire 225 days after taking effect.
