I wonder what these clowns are thinking. I mean AB32 and now this:

California sets stronger energy efficiency rules for buildings - latimes.com

So much for any construction rebound.

"the Energy Commission estimated that the new standards would add $2,290 to the cost of a 2,200-square-foot home but would yield $6,200 in energy-related savings over 30 years."

At $100/sf construction costs (a pretty low number) a 2200sf home would cost $220,000 to build. adding $2290 more isn't going to break the bank or cause any homes not to get built. The requirement for residential sprinkler systems got similar comments, but the homes that have it get a substantial break on homeowners insurance too.

California can’t even balance a budget and were supposed to believe the estimated cost is good this also?
