Zero-Emissions Buildings and Sources of Heat Energy (AB 3232)
BILL SUMMARY:
Unlike electricity generation, there are no state goals or mandates specifically aimed at reducing the carbon emissions in our more than 13 million homes, apartments, and commercial buildings California. AB 3232 would get California on a path to require all new buildings after 2030 to be zero-emissions buildings. It also would require the state to establish a strategy to achieve a reduction in the emissions from the state's existing building stock of 50 percent below the 1990 levels by January 1, 2030.
