Reliable Federal Infrastructure Act — repeals federal building energy efficiency standards under ECPA §305(a)(3)(D)(i), including the schedule for phasing out fossil-fuel use in new and majorly-renovated federal buildings. The existing performance standards drove design-stage emissions reductions and procurement of efficient HVAC, lighting, and envelope systems for federal facilities.
