Establishes a preference for using innovative wood products in federal public buildings.

The Mass Timber Federal Buildings Act of 2026 establishes a preference for using innovative wood products in federal public buildings. The bill defines "innovative wood products" and requires federal agencies to prioritize these products in construction, alteration, acquisition, or lease of public buildings. The bill also mandates a lifecycle assessment of new public buildings using these products and requires a report to Congress. The assessment considers global warming potential and compliance with International Organization for Standardization standards.
