Provides that, except for purposes of compliance with specified building and fire safety laws, a local unit does not have the power to: (1) require that a particular component, design, or type of material be used in the construction of a building because of the energy saving or energy producing qualities of the component, design, or material; (2) prohibit the use of a particular component, design, or type of material in the construction of a building because the component, design, or material does not meet an energy saving standard; (3) require that a building or structure be retrofitted with a particular device or type of material because of the energy saving or energy producing qualities of the device or material; (4) prohibit or restrict the purchase or use of vehicles based upon the type of energy used; or (5) prohibit the sale, installation, or use of: (A) natural gas powered: (i) home heating equipment; (ii) home appliances; or (iii) outdoor heating appliances, torches, lamps, or other decorative features; or (B) outdoor grills and stoves.
