THe NEW Residential Energy Stan- I dards were scheduled to become effective on July 13. These new standards were prepared by a group of nonbuilders in the State Energy Department and would have added between $3,000 and $6,000 to the price of a new home. This additional cost is exactly what was needed to further discourage sales of homes. As with so many other regulations in California, these new standards were not meant to encourage construction; although the environmentalist running the State Energy Commission reported that these standards would save the homebuyer and reduce the energy consumption. In hearings, hundreds of individuals and firms testified that any savings in energy by the homeowner would have been offset by the consumption of additional energy to manufacture the additional materials.

LMA and other groups lobbied desperately to stop implementation of the new standards but could not get amendments through the legislature. One amendment that would have exempted those housing starts already filed for the new standards was vetoed by the governor five days before the effective date. At the last minute we succeeded in getting a rider onto a bill that had already cleared the Assembly Energy Committee. The rider would delay for one year the implementation of the new standards. Much to our surprise the bill with the rider received more than the two-thirds vote required and was signed by the governor on July 13 after the new standards became effective. At the moment, we have a year before these new standards are effective. In the interim we plan to work to amend the current standards, and when the new legislature reports in January we will have bills ready for consideration.

It is our recommendation that every retail dealer do two things. First, write to your state legislator and urge him,/her to insure that the new Residential Energy Standards will be aborted by the new legislature. Second, write the State Energy Commission and request a set of the new standards for the zones you supply. If we are unable to achieve cancellation of the new standards, it will take you the next year to understand them and to alter your inventory to be able to supply your contractor customers.
