Enacts the "low-carbon building construction act" to require buildings over 25,000 square feet to meet standards reducing embodied carbon emissions.
The "low-carbon building construction act" mandates that buildings, additions, or renovations over 25,000 square feet must meet standards to reduce embodied carbon emissions. Compliance can be achieved by maintaining and reusing at least 45% of an existing structure, achieving a 15% reduction in embodied carbon emissions by 2032, or a 30% reduction by 2033. The Department of Environmental Conservation will create a public database and website for compliance information, educational resources, and reporting guidelines.
