Efficiency Provisions: Senate vs. House Energy Bills

Built Environment

A lot of energy consumption happens indoors, making buildings an important target for energy efficiency. And the energy efficiency toolkit is getting smarter: emerging innovations around building systems and grid-interactive technologies are combining with proven solutions like high-efficiency windows and insulation to make the promise of decarbonization a reality in the buildings sector. But to get there, we need to do more to push energy efficiency into the market.

The American Energy Innovation Act, S. 2657, and its House companion bill, H.R. 4447, the Clean Energy Jobs and Innovation Act, provided a foundation for the end-of-year package passed in December 2020, H.R. 133, which included COVID-19 relief as well as appropriations measures for Fiscal Year 2021. The chart previewed below compares energy efficiency provisions that were included in the original House and Senate bills.
