Climate Protection Committee Energy Standards

New residential and commercial buildings in Boise would be required to meet energy efficiency standards under a package of proposals by the city’s Climate Protection Program Advisory Committee.

The committee’s recommendations, finalized this week, also call for incentives for construction projects that surpass minimum standards, financial assistance to reduce energy and water use in existing buildings, education programs to help homeowners and commercial building owners cut their energy consumption, and changes to city code that would encourage high-density development, especially downtown. Committee members also want all new Boise city government facilities to achieve to “green” certification.
