Environmental Assessment in Support of Interim Energy Conservation Standards for New Federal Residential Buildings
This environmental assessment is a study done in support of the Standards and Guidelines Program, of the Architectural and Engineering Systems Group, Building Systems Division. The Energy Conservation Standards Act of 1976, as amended, requires the Department of Energy (DOE) to issue performance standards for the design of new buildings. These standards are to be mandatory for the design of new Federal buildings and voluntary for all other buildings. DOE is to publish interim standards, report to Congress on the results, and promulgate a final standard. The DOE has divided the development of these standards into two parts, residential buildings and commercial buildings. The residential building portion has been further divided into Federal and non-Federal buildings due to the specialized nature of Federal residential buildings, which primarily house military personnel, and the method used to procure housing. This environmental assessment supports the Federal Residential Buildings Energy Conservation Standard portion of that program. It specifically supports the issuance of a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NOPR) for the Federal Residential Building Standards, which is a step in developing the Interim Federal Residential Building Standards intended to permit the broadest public comment and input to the standard under development. 202 refs., 15 tabs.
