To improve the energy performance of residential
construction in New York State we must demonstrate that
high efficiency houses can be built, and that the increment
in the initial cost can be compensated by reduced coat of
operation.
A leading New York example must be
designed, built, evaluated and demonstrated to the
broader public. Only following such a local and wellpublicized example can the more significant energy and
environmental impacts of “production” housing be realized.
