Enacts the "low-carbon building construction act" to reduce embodied carbon emissions in buildings over 25,000 square feet.

The bill enacts the "low-carbon building construction act," which requires buildings, additions, or renovations over 25,000 square feet to meet standards that reduce embodied carbon emissions. These standards include maintaining and reusing at least 45% of an existing structure, using whole building life-cycle assessments, or employing product and facility-specific environmental product declarations. The Department of Environmental Conservation will provide a worksheet for reporting, develop a public database, and create a public-facing website with educational resources.
