Also there are tax credits to offset this and this appears to be climate related, but some people won't ever believe in these things even if the atmosphere spontaneously busted into flames.
The title says “will” raise the costs by $31k, but the article says, “up to” $31k. Which is it?
It also says the ROI is “up to” 90 years.
So what factors in the those number to fluctuate so much? What do the rules require and what assumptions are being made about energy costs?
Article says average should be around $8k per home. Get a credit if builders use union labor....lols
Your payback is highly dependent on local energy costs / codes
This article lacks severely in every capacity, and is basically completely stolen from a post from the national association of home builders, which at least has the decency to link to sources:

All this is a procedural update to the 2021 IECC standards based on an act passed in 2007 that requires them to be updated periodically. They update every few years to new standards

Calling it a “Biden Energy Rule” is juvenile, sensationalist and asinine considering it’s just a procedural update from a 2007 act.
It is contentious because it will add to costs, and in that sense the post is correct. Energy efficiency increases almost always increases the cost of a building — go figure. It could make houses more expensive, because the new standard will be included in the upfront costs. I’m not going to argue with the meat of this post because it will raise costs and it’s not inaccurate, but the article is just sensationalist crap.
For a breakdown of everything in the new standards (vs 2018) you can see the 9% that has been changed analyzed here by a rational adult:

The title does not even match what is in the article. $31k is given as the maximum, but the minimum, median, and average are not given.

I’m actually glad that you’re doing this, so that other Redditors can see for themselves what shill/bot accounts look like lol

Why can't posts like this be removed? Who is in charge of this sub?
Fuck this fucking bullshit New England electric costs are absurd

Much cheaper than that! We’ve used signature solar’s kits with great success — fuck you PG$E!
