The cities, who looked to eliminate the fossil fuel in the buildings, took a decisive trial. Federal judge last week The claim filed In New York City by plumbing and trade groups, new buildings are banned in new buildings. The decision is not clearly disagree with an undecided by a previous decision Berkeley, California’s primarily gas ban. In 2023, this order provided by the Court of Appeal in the 9th USA and re-approved last yearAfter the decision of Berkeley, the cities were asked to withdraw or delay modeled laws.
Although the law of New York has been different from Berkeley, the decision of law experts in this month, the decision of this month, the gas can take strong legal legs, buildings and a more ambitious action for any local policy.
“In this regard, a clear victory, the decision of the 9th round, the local governments really had a cooling effect,” he said. “Now there is something else to point out, and a good reason to hope for local governments that can rewrite local governments burned it plans to bring it to the fore.”
Adopted New York City in 2021 Local Law 154In new buildings, the fuel for the closed burning of fuel is to determine an air waste limit. As part of the law, “Any substance that broadcasts more than 25 kilograms or carbon dioxide for the unit of millions of millions.” This is standard, gas burning ovens, ovens and water heaters and other fossil-fuel devices effectively in effective way. Instead, they must install electrical devices such as real estate developers, induction stoves and heat pumps. Politics came into force In 2024 For buildings under seven stories, and will be applied to tall buildings that start in 2027.
On the other hand, the law of Berkeley, the installation of the gas pipeline in the new construction was banned. The first kind policy was adopted in 2019 and inspired about a hundred local governments within the country to implement similar laws. However, the rules faced a lawsuit by the California restaurant association, which claims that gas stoves are important to the food service industry. In April 2023, the 9th round trial decided in favor of the restaurant industry, and the Federal Energy Efficiency Standards preferred the policy of Berkeley. An application in January 2024 In order to restore the 9th circuit work by the city of Berkeley rejected.
