Create new green building standards law for construction projects
In Plain English
Richmond currently has no specific green building requirements for new construction or major renovations. The new law would set environmental standards for buildings like energy efficiency, water conservation, and sustainable materials. Property developers would need to meet these requirements when applying for building permits.
