H.R.3474

Federal Mechanical Insulation Act clarifies that mechanical insulation is an energy efficiency measure for federal buildings.

The Federal Mechanical Insulation Act amends the National Energy Conservation Policy Act to clarify that the installation of mechanical insulation is considered an energy or water efficiency measure for federal buildings. This includes insulation materials, facings, and accessory products placed in service in connection with a mechanical system, meeting or exceeding specific standards, and reducing energy loss. The act also mandates comprehensive energy and water evaluations to identify such measures, including mechanical insulation, in federal buildings.
