From the meeting
The act requires the Mayor to issue final regulations by December 31, 2027, making all new construction or Level 3 alterations to covered buildings meet a net-zero-energy standard. It also sets December 31, 2026 rules blocking on-site fuel combustion for thermal energy in certain new construction and large additions. District-owned and District-funded residential and nonresidential projects get temporary exemptions, so compliance planning, design review, and code-support services become relevant now.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.

Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks District of Columbia's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
