Clovers at Blarney Castle
Patricia hit the nail on the head in her last post, :
Where are the codes and incentives?
Or rather, how do we get people to build and renovate houses to energy efficiency levels that are significantly above code?
The has a on how much beyond code you must build to achieve their interim and final energy efficiency goals. For example, in California's we have a new 2008 version of the energy efficiency code, usually called "." To meet the Architecture 2030 interim goal of buildings that use half as much energy as their conventional peers (the "initial 50% reduction target"), buildings in California need to be 10% more efficient than required by this new building code.
