Sec. 435.303  Requirements for the design of a Federal residential 
building.

    (a) The head of each Federal agency responsible for the construction 
of Federal residential buildings shall establish an energy consumption 
goal for each building to be designed or constructed by or for the 
agency.
    (b) The energy consumption goal for a Federal residential building 
shall be a total point score derived by using the micro-computer program 
and user manual entitled ``Conservation Optimization Standard for 
Savings in Federal Residences (COSTSAFR),'' unless the head of the 
Federal agency shall establish more stringent requirements for that 
agency.
    (c) The head of each Federal agency shall adopt such procedures as 
may be necessary to ensure that the design of a Federal residential 
building is not less energy conserving than the energy consumption goal 
established for the building.
