Green Housing Coordination Temporary Amendment Act of 2024

This bill temporarily updates District of Columbia housing and building codes to require that large subsidized residential and mixed-use projects meet specific net-zero energy and all-electric standards. It mandates that any new construction of 50,000 square feet or more receiving funding from the Housing Production Trust Fund must satisfy these environmental criteria starting in October 2025, though it allows for a lower standard if officials determine it is necessary to ensure affordable housing development. The legislation also requires the Department of Buildings to submit regular reports on progress toward creating universal net-zero energy regulations and to hold public meetings with stakeholders. Additionally, the act removes conflicting net-zero energy compliance rules from the Green Building Act that previously applied to residential and mixed-use projects. These changes are set to expire once final regulations are established or after 225 days, whichever comes first.
