Sec. 435.300  Purpose.


    (a) This subpart establishes voluntary energy conservation 
performance standards for new residential buildings. The voluntary 
energy conservation performance standards are designed to achieve the 
maximum practicable improvements in energy efficiency and increases in 
the use of non-depletable sources of energy.
    (b) Voluntary energy conservation performance standards prescribed 
under this subpart shall be developed solely as guidelines for the 
purpose of providing technical assistance for the design of energy 
conserving buildings, and shall be mandatory only for the design of 
Federal buildings.
    (c) The energy conservation performance standards will direct 
Federal policies and practices to ensure that cost-effective energy 
conservation features will be incorporated into the designs of all new 
residential buildings designed and constructed by and for Federal 
agencies.
