HR 4744 United States House · 118th Congress

Lead by Example Act of 2023

This bill requires the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection Agency to set thermostats in their headquarters buildings to no lower than 78°F when air conditioning is running. It also mandates that both agencies submit reports to Congress detailing their past thermostat settings from January 2021 through the bill's enactment date. The law directly affects only the operational temperature settings at these two federal agencies' main offices. It is a procedural measure focused on energy conservation standards for specific government buildings.
