Dear CARB Members,

I am contacting you to express my concerns about the proposed
regulations regarding GHG emmissions reduction recommendations that
your Board is set to consider this Thursday.  From my review of the
recommendations, they do not seem to based on any real science or
demonstrable evidence that the proposed standards are economically
sound or that the cost/benefit has been established.  

We all want to be prudent when it comes to implementing standards
to improve the performance of new buildings, however, we all must
be looking at the economic burden we accept in conjunction with
benefit we all will derive.  In other words, the cost to achieve
the benefit needs to be reasonable and balanced with the resulting
reduction.  The question we must ask ourselves is whether the
economic burden placed on new construction is the best use of
dollars for the reduction in GHG that we may realize.

I strongly suggest that you ask for a complete economic analysis
of the costs to implement these regulations with respect to the
anticipated reduction in GHG emmissions for new construction.

Sincerely,

Dan Lloyd
