On January 14, 2024, GSA announced a $210 million contract award to CEG Solutions to implement energy and water upgrades in multiple federal facilities in the Washington, D.C. region. These buildings include the Markey National Courts Building, Dolley Madison House, Cosmos Club, Tayloe House, the National Building Museum, Sidney Yates Federal Building, Lyndon B Johnson Federal Building, Mary E. Switzer Federal Building, and the U.S. Tax Court Building. The contract will cover activities to “modernize building systems, improve energy efficiency, cut greenhouse gas emissions and convert nine of the buildings to operate exclusively on electric power.”
This GSA contract is partially funded by IRA sections 60502, 60503, and 60504, which appropriated funds to GSA to build green federal buildings, support the use of low-carbon building materials, and expand sustainable technologies and programs in federal facilities.
