The NJPIRG-backed bill to set energy efficiency standards for appliances, passed unanimously through the Assembly Environment Committee on February 29th. A1763, sponsored by Assemblywoman Watson-Coleman, now moves to the full Assembly. Efficient Buildings and HomesRequiring developers to build energy-efficient buildings would create substantial savings over the life of a building. Stronger energy codes would reduce electricity demand by 4.5 percent by 2020 and save consumers more than $6 billion. More More Efficient ProductsSetting energy-efficiency standards for just 12 common products would save New Jersey homes and businesses more than $1.6 billion by 2020 and significantly offset growing energy demand. NJPIRG Citizen Lobby is already advocating legislation to make this a reality, making furnaces, boilers, and DVD players up to 90 percent more efficient. More. |
