NIA Supports H.R. 4663: Federal Mechanical Insulation Act

At its recent meeting, the NIA Board of Directors voted to support the updated Federal Mechanical Insulation Act, which is federal legislation "to clarify that installation of mechanical insulation property is as an energy or water efficiency measure that may be used in Federal buildings for purposes of section 543(f) of the National Energy Conservation Policy Act, and for other purposes."

The bill has been introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives and was referred to the House Energy and Commerce Committee. NIA will continue to provide updates on the progress of this legislation.
