The Biden administration plans to use $975 million from the Inflation Reduction Act to give more than 100 federal buildings across the country clean-energy upgrades, making them more efficient and climate-friendly through the use of heat pumps, solar panels and batteries, among other things.
The U.S. General Services Administration announced the initiative on Tuesday and shared details with The Washington Post. Twenty-eight federal buildings are set to achieve net-zero emissions under the plan and 100 buildings will become all-electric. Switching to clean energy is a goal of President Biden’s Federal Sustainability Plan, which aims for all federal buildings to attain net-zero emissions by 2045.
