The state’s Fire Prevention and Building Code Council recently met to review proposed building code updates to implement climate-related provisions passed in last year’s state budget for all-electric new buildings. Changes would prohibit fossil fuel furnaces, hot water heaters and stoves in most new construction beginning in 2026. Michael Hernandez of Rewiring America discusses the issue with Mark Dunlea for Hudson Mohawk Magazine.
