Sensible Pool Building Temporary Amendment Act of 2025

This bill temporarily exempts new District government-built natatoriums (indoor pools) in Ward 8 from the standard net zero energy requirements under the Green Building Act. Instead, it requires these facilities to meet at least LEED Silver certification standards. The exemption and new standard apply only to District projects in Ward 8 and expire 225 days after the bill takes effect. The bill modifies the Green Building Act of 2006 (D.C. Law 16-234) without changing overall energy standards for other District buildings.
