Connecticut Considers Stretch Code That Lets Cities Push Builders On Efficiency


Joe Amon
/ Connecticut Public Radio
Connecticut homebuilders are pushing back against legislation that would allow municipalities to require new buildings to meet high efficiency standards. 
The bill (HB 6572) would authorize municipalities to adopt a so-called “stretch” building code that would apply to new or substantially renovated buildings larger than 40,000 square feet. Developers would have to demonstrate that the buildings will use at least 10 percent per square foot less energy than the maximum levels permitted under the state building code. 
Enacting a stretch energy code would put Connecticut in line with Massachusetts, New York and Vermont, all of which give municipalities the option of going beyond the state building code in the area of efficiency. And a major climate bill recently signed into law in Massachusetts will boost its voluntary stretch code to net-zero by 2023; that would mean new buildings would have to produce as much energy as ....

Lamont's climate change bill helps one crisis, worsens another


By Jim Perras
The old proverb, “The road to ruin is paved with good intentions” can be aptly applied to Gov. Ned Lamont’s Climate Change Adaptation Bill (House Bill 6441), which would grant municipalities the ability to establish a program to mitigate the impacts of climate change by various means, including the purchase of open space in certain circumstances.
To pay for this program, the bill would allow towns to impose a new conveyance tax on the sale of real property valued as low as $150,000.
