We're working with @metroabundance.bsky.social to collect cost drivers in California building codes and standards above and beyond national model codes/standards. See here for more – please circulate among architects, engineers, etc. in the state! admin.centerforbuilding.org/wp-content/u...

Are you not looking at energy codes? Isn't that where California really stands out?

Nothing amps up my support for a carbon tax like extreme energy efficiency requirements in one of the most temperate climates in the world that builds ~no housing

What do you think of the state’s cost/benefit analyses, which conclude that the additional capital cost of complying with California’s Energy Code is more than offset by the reduction in operating costs? I haven’t reviewed them, but perhaps you have? www.energy.ca.gov/news/2024-09...

Do they do a whole analysis? From what I’m seeing it looks like they tallied benefits but not costs
