Treehugger Has Great Additional Thoughts On Waxman-Markey
The great people over at Treehugger had some great additional thoughts on Friday's Waxman-Markey post.
Particularly interesting was Lloyd Alter's insight from his dealing with uniform building codes:
When I practiced architecture, I had to work with a building code that covered a territory that ranged from temperate at the south to arctic at the north, and quite capably handled it with maps and tables that adjusted requirements for degree-days, snow loads and other climactic differences, it's not that difficult.
Appendix writers, sharpen your pencils. Alternatively, the building code could be a performance based code, which sets the standard and allows states and local governments to meet it in different ways.
