“Yup. Just like window companies are excited when kids start throwing bricks through everyone’s windows for fun. Forcing that ‘business’ is not good for the economy...”
It’s not about breaking and replacing though.
The idea is to encourage upgrade to the latest technologies that will save money for the building users long term. It can be 100% documented and engineered how much they will save.
Right now countless short-sighted building owners dont even realize they are throwing money literally out the window because they don’t even wish to spend a few bucks to evaluate their systems. I work to get in touch with several such customers every week but many owners don’t care and never respond.
Proven technologies will pay for themselves in short order, stimulate local economy AND give the city cleaner air.
