Houses Passes Climate Bill with Energy Labeling Exemptions

The U.S. House of Representatives approved H.R. 2454, the American Clean Energy and Security Act by Reps. Waxman (D‐CA) and Markey (D‐MA). The bill, renumbered H.R. 2998, includes NAR‐supported provisions, championed by Rep. Perlmutter (D‐CO), that exempt existing homes and buildings from the bill\'s provisions to build upon an existing Energy Star energy labeling program.

After multiple consultations with the NAR Climate Presidential Advisory Group, the NAR Land Use, Property Rights and Environment Committee, and state associations who had dealt with energy audit legislation at the state level, the Land Use, Property Rights and Environment Committee directed NAR staff to concentrate on the real estate provisions in the bill. As a result, NAR issued calls for action and made this a talking point for Capitol Hill visits during its recent Midyear meeting.
