ACI Home Performance Conference 2008

CARB 3 - Policy Helps & Hindrances for Residential Climate Initiatives

Tuesday, April 08, 2008 · 3:35 PM - 5:15 PM

What are the best practices in public policy - building codes, standards, and regulations - that can make homes more comfortable and affordable, thus generating greenhouse gas emissions savings? Conversely, what regulatory barriers lead to less affordability and comfort, and more carbon? Explore how municipalities and states can meet the twin goals of 1) energy and greenhouse gas reduction and 2) lowering the costs of transportation and energy for homeowners and renters.

By attending this session, participants will

1. Learn how building energy codes effect GHG-conscious, affordable, and comfortable homes

2. Examine policies and best practices that support carbon reductions and affordable comfort

3. Recognize policy barriers to climate change mitigation and affordable comfort
