The real estate industry and many property management companies are spreading false information about the extent of extra costs imposed on building, condo and home owners by the provisions of this ordinance.
I hope that your constituents will take the time to read the ordinance and the background reasoning by searching for Building Energy Reporting and Disclosure Ordinance under the cityofboston.gov URL.
What is even more important is that the Boston City Council members hear from the constituents of so energy-conservation-conscious a legislator as is our Will Brownsberger. Letters in support of the ordinance from as many citizens dedicated to energy frugality as possible will help.
Thank you, Peter! I appreciate your post on this subject. I am the sponsor of the companion state legislation which support the implementation of the labeling ordinance.
