Congress finds that— the building sector uses more than 40 percent of the energy of the United States; emerging building energy monitoring and control technologies are enabling a transition of the building sector to smart buildings that have dramatically reduced energy use and improved quality of service to occupants; an analysis of select private-sector smart buildings by the Department of Energy would document the costs and benefits of the emerging technologies, promote the adoption of the technologies, and accelerate the transition to the technologies; with over 400,000 buildings, the Federal Government is the largest building owner in the United States; and the Federal Government can also accelerate the transition to smart building technologies by demonstrating and evaluating emerging smart building technologies using existing programs and funding to showcase selected Federal smart buildings.
