Residential Exemptions

08 Oct 2024

The policy excludes single-family, townhouse, and duplex properties (see page 4). 

Would you support or oppose expanding green building requirements to include residential buildings? Why?

    I would support including Single Family, Townhome, and Duplex from floor area calculations for new private sector buildings to further expand opportunities for GHG emissions reduction. The draft policy document does not provide any justification as to why these are to be excluded. And I also think that some simpler form of green building requirements should be levied even on new residential buildings. For instance, at the minimum the zero-emissions and all-electric should be considered with some energy efficiency standards to ensure that no net new GHG emissions are being added.

    Please keep single-family homes exempt. The private sector requirements as currently written could apply to many single-family homes and these requirements could end up being a nightmare for someone simply doing interior work on their home - and if you make them eligible for incentives, you are subsidizing remodels that really don't need it.
