  1. Dear Construction Industries Division,

    I am writing to express my strong support for New Mexico?s adoption of the 2021 Energy Conservation Codes for buildings along with EV-ready requirements.

    In addition to keeping up with the latest code updates to improve the energy efficiency of buildings, I support the additional proposal to require all new buildings be EV-ready, making it easier for homeowners, residents of multifamily units and users of commercial parking lots to charge their electric vehicles.

    The codes call for most new construction to include EV chargers at 5% of parking spaces, and another 5 to 15%, depending on the building type, must have the electrical infrastructure to accommodate future chargers.

    Modern energy codes are critical for creating a safe climate and energy savings through weatherization and more efficient heating and cooling equipment. Considering the passage of Clean Cars and Trucks standards and the commercial shift to EVs announced by major automakers, these are common-sense, forward-thinking steps.

    I care deeply about the climate crisis and my children?s future. Stronger energy codes reduce climate pollution and other air pollutants, improving our families? health, all while lowering utility bills, so I have more money to contribute to our local economy.

    Sincerely,

    Please let us change our EVs! Without decent charging options, and not having affordable long range EVs, we are falling behind Colorado, Utah and Arizona. Time to get onboard.

  5. Dear Construction Industries Division,

    I feel it?s important for the state to support this and other sustainable energy (i.e. NOT just fossil fuel) development so we can protect the NM environment that is the reason so many of us live here.
