Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007

Due to the direction the federal government is taking on energy conservation, it is important for us to understand what effect it will have on real estate managers and owners. You may have heard that the President signed a new energy bill, the "Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007," into law. The law contains a section of particular interest to real estate professionals: the High Performance Commercial Buildings section. IREM legislative staff analyzed the new law in a concise briefing paper and posted it on the IREM website. To read the analysis visit www.irem.org or visit the following direct link: http://www.irem.org/pdfs/publicpolicy/Energy%20Law%20Paper%20IREM.pdf.

If you have trouble accessing the link or viewing the paper, please email Amanda Chesley at achesley@irem.org to request a Microsoft Word of PDF version of the paper.
