The Green Housing Coordination Temporary Amendment Act of 2025 aims to enhance energy efficiency in large residential and mixed-use construction projects that receive assistance from the Housing Production Trust Fund. The bill introduces net zero energy requirements for new constructions of 50,000 square feet or more, mandating compliance with specific standards from the 2020 Enterprise Green Communities Criteria. Additionally, it allows for a temporary acceptance of a lesser standard if deemed necessary for affordable housing development. The bill also includes a provision for the Department to report biannually on the progress of developing universal net zero energy building code regulations, addressing barriers to affordable housing development while ensuring energy efficiency.

Furthermore, the bill amends the Clean Energy DC Building Code Amendment Act of 2022 to require periodic reporting on the development of net zero energy regulations and modifies the Green Building Act of 2006 by removing certain compliance provisions related to net zero energy for residential and mixed-use projects. The amendments aim to streamline the regulatory framework while promoting sustainable building practices and ensuring that affordable housing initiatives are not hindered by stringent energy compliance requirements. The act is set to expire 225 days after its enactment unless further action is taken.
