CASA develops the CASA Code Initiative
- CASA develops the CASA Code Initiative – a two year program to facilitate the adoption of a progressive Green Building Code in New Mexico. A response to the challenge of raising greenhouse gases and industry consensus.
- This long-term project will use Governor Bill Richardson’s Executive Order (05-033), to reduce current GHG emissions to 2000 levels 2012, increase to10% by 2020, and increase to 75% by 2050.
- A three-pronged strategy will include: State Agency Involvement, A Code Development Program, and a Political Action-Plan.
- This initiative will establish a task force that creates a partnership with the NM State Construction Industries Division; the agency responsible for proposing of all building codes for adoption.
- This effort is based on the evidence from actual energy
consumption drawn from a recent survey of USGBC LEED For
Building Program of significant reduction in, CO2 by 35%-50%,
as well as an average of 35%-90% reduction of water use
in surveyed buildings.
