California AB1704 mandates the development of a framework to measure carbon intensity in building materials and aims to reduce greenhouse gas.

California AB1704 requires the California Air Resources Board to create a framework for measuring the carbon intensity of materials used in new buildings by December 31, 2026. The bill also mandates a comprehensive strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from building materials by 40% by December 31, 2035. The strategy includes developing a carbon trading system and exploring alternative compliance methods. The bill allows for delays if low-carbon materials are not cost-effective or feasible.
