DES & the built environment
john pietroniro - Thu, 08/07/2008 - 09:59

Many studies indicate that the built environment accounts for a large percentage of our energy and the largest portion of electrical consumption.

Does the Commissioner see a role for DES in meeting this challenge by incentives or regulations promoting more stringent energy codes and the use of green building standards?

Thank you,
