Federal agencies can now tap into a $250 million fund for projects to make their buildings more energy and water efficient after the Biden administration on Thursday announced it would open up the money included as part of the recent infrastructure law.
The Energy Department will oversee the funding—to be provided as part of the Assisting Federal Facilities with Energy Conservation Technologies (AFFECT) program—which agencies will apply to access. Congress authorized the spending as part of the 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.
