Path to Affordable Homes Act of 2025
HR 6264, titled the "Path to Affordable Homes Act of 2025," amends federal energy efficiency standards for buildings. It requires the Secretary of Energy to review new energy codes (like ASHRAE or International Energy Conservation Code) within one year of approval and assess cost-effectiveness, grid reliability, and energy efficiency relevance. Crucially, the bill mandates that if a new standard would require buildings to switch from fossil fuels to other energy sources, this must be treated as a negative factor against adopting the standard. This directly affects how federal building energy standards are updated but does not address housing affordability as implied by the title.
