The outgoing Biden administration is launching a series of sustainability-focused renovations of federal office buildings around the nation’s capital using money from the Inflation Reduction Act
The General Services Administration Tuesday announced the award of $120M through a contract to a subsidiary of Baltimore-based Constellation Energy to perform energy savings upgrades at five D.C.-area buildings.
The buildings set to receive upgrades are the Elijah Barrett Prettyman U.S. Courthouse, the William B. Bryant Annex, the Orville Wright Federal Building and the Wilbur Wright Federal Building in D.C., and the Harvey W. Wiley Federal Building in College Park.
The renovations will include upgrades to building control systems, lighting and other measures to improve energy efficiency.
The four D.C. buildings will all be converted to operate exclusively on electric power, removing them from the government’s fossil-fuel-powered steam distribution system.
