Federal Mechanical Insulation Act of 2026

This bill changes federal law on energy and water use in federal buildings. It adds a definition of "mechanical insulation property," meaning insulation material, facing, or accessory products placed on a mechanical system that meet or exceed a national building energy standard (ASHRAE Standard 90.1) and reduce energy loss from that system. It also requires that the comprehensive energy and water evaluations done for federal buildings include identifying energy- and water-saving measures, including installing mechanical insulation when applicable.
