| Comment | RMI,
Sierra Club, Emerald Cities Collaborative, SPUR, Natural Resources
Defense Council, and Earthjustice support the zero emission
standard for new space and water heaters, and offer the following
recommendations:
-
1. The proposed zero-emission
appliance measure should be adopted as a key
measure to achieve the state’s health, air quality, and
decarbonization goals, and to advance environmental
justice.
- 2. A rulemaking to develop
the proposed standards, as well as the pursuit of equity-promoting
policies,
should
begin immediately, in partnership with community representatives,
to ensure equitable rule implementation by 2030.
-
3. The zero-emission
standards should cover all building end uses to maximize
benefits.
