PradeepChilka 3 days agoI 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.Reply Agree 0 Disagree 0 Alert moderatorShare 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.

Alex 8 days agoPlease 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.Reply Agree 0 Disagree 0 Alert moderatorShare Please keep single-family homes exempt.
