(1)and inserting the following: Subject to paragraph (2), the head of each agency shall— for each of fiscal years 2020 through 2030, reduce average facility energy intensity (as measured in British thermal units per gross square foot) at facilities of the agency by 2.5 percent each fiscal year relative to the average facility energy intensity of the facilities of the agency in fiscal year 2018; for each of fiscal years 2020 through 2030, improve water use efficiency and management, including stormwater management, at facilities of the agency by reducing agency water consumption intensity— by reducing the potable water consumption by 54 percent by fiscal year 2030, relative to the potable water consumption at facilities of the agency in fiscal year 2007, through reductions of 2 percent each fiscal year (as measured in gallons per gross square foot); by reducing the industrial, landscaping, and agricultural water consumption of the agency, as compared to a baseline of that consumption at facilities of the agency in fiscal year 2010, through reductions of 2 percent each fiscal year (as measured in gallons); and by installing appropriate infrastructure features at facilities of the agency to improve stormwater and wastewater management; and to the maximum extent practicable, in carrying out subparagraphs
(A)and (B), take measures that are life cycle cost-effective. ; in paragraph (2)— by striking
(2)An agency and inserting the following: An agency ; by striking building and inserting facility ; by inserting and water after energy each place it appears; and by striking buildings and inserting facilities ; and by striking paragraph
(3)and inserting the following: Not later than December 31, 2029, the Secretary shall— review the results of the implementation of the energy and water performance requirements established under paragraph (1); and submit to Congress recommendations concerning energy and water performance requirements for fiscal years 2031 through 2040. ; in subsection (c)— in paragraph (1), by striking Federal building or collection of Federal buildings each place it appears and inserting Federal facility ; in paragraph (2)— by striking buildings and inserting facilities ; and by striking building and inserting facility ; and in paragraph (3), by adding at the end the following: Not later than 1 year after the date of enactment of the ; Leading Infrastructure For Tomorrow’s America Act , the Secretary shall issue guidelines to establish criteria for exclusions to water performance requirements under paragraph (1).
