How about working with a not-for-profit non-partisan entity, e.g. Consumer Reports, to gather the same information?   I'm sure the government isn't the only organization that collects this kind of data.  Then post that information for consumers to consider.   Then encourage the Legislature and County Councils to adopt those guidelines when considering new permits for construction projects.  That way, manufacturers will hopefully think "If we want in on the next housing development, we should provide energy efficient appliances."
Bottom line, if the Federal government won't do it, then the State, Counties, and people have to step up.
