This would likely repeal regulations related to the following:
- Energy-efficient designs (insulation, high-efficiency HVAC, energy-saving appliances)
- Resilient/adaptable homes for extreme weather
- Sustainable materials
- Building codes
In summary, while climate-focused initiatives may raise upfront expenses, they contribute to long-term sustainability, resilience, and cost savings. Balancing these factors is crucial for creating housing that benefits both residents and the environment.
