We ask that the federal government require that buildings constructed with federal government funds be energy efficient and zero carbon: They should meet the top-tier net-zero energy-ready (NZER) standard of the 2020 National Model Building Codes and also the top level for operational GHG emission performance in the 2025 codes. The current requirements only require a 25% decrease in energy consumption and GHG emissions relative to the 2015 National Energy Code for Buildings or a 15% decrease relative to the 2017 NECB.
