Stan S asked:

Wouldn’t this save the enviroment and help with energy securiety? Wouldn’t it also save people money? I’m not seeing a downside to more energy, heating and lighting efficient buildings built with more enviromentally friendly less toxic materials, is there one? I know that construction costs would sometimes go up but any initial increase in costs would be offset over a short period of time due to the savings greener construction would generate.
What I was trying to get at was raising that minimum standerd as much as possible.
in terms of enviromental friendliness, and energy efficiency.
