HOUSE Act of 2025
The HOUSE Act of 2025 would repeal a new federal energy efficiency standard for housing projects funded by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the Department of Agriculture (USDA), reverting to the previous energy efficiency requirements that were in place before the new rule was proposed. It also prohibits the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Federal Housing Finance Agency from implementing similar energy efficiency standards for their housing programs. This bill directly affects new housing developments receiving federal financing from HUD, USDA, VA, or FHFA, allowing them to follow less stringent energy efficiency standards previously required. The change would eliminate the need for builders to meet the updated federal benchmark, shifting compliance back to the older baseline.
