Healthy and resilient buildings

Healthy Buildings Roadmap. Yeah, but there's a community in there, too.

Council Touchpoints are an update to our Building Performance Ordinance, and then the SmartRigs program.

our staff team was before you recently presenting the healthy building stronger community roadmap

the study session summary uh regarding the healthy building stronger community roadmap

dense information we were bringing to you on the Healthy Buildings Roadmap

The current plan is focused on limiting emissions, but indoor air quality isn't the same

Really just a quick intro from me on the healthy building stronger community roadmap

Denver uh adopted their building performance standards. They apply um to a similar class of buildings

staff don't recommend proceeding with that at this time just given I think

has dangerous levels of mold, dangerous indoor air quality, and is uninhabitable and unsafe.

adopting building performance for standards, for larger homes is off the table

Okay, we're gonna close public participation. And now let's switch to healthy buildings.

We're gonna have matters from the board that include healthy buildings.

You've seen a couple of presentation presentations now of our healthy buildings roadmap that will be going to council

We have our healthy buildings roadmap. That is our item the Comp plan analysis update on August 14.

gas cooking releases carbon oxide nitrogen dioxide ultrain particles

there's also no indoor air quality standards and so therefore when we have gas appliances inside our home

about the role of gas stoves, the role of just a indoor air quality at restaurants

You are never going to make indoor air quality match out or air quality. We've known this forever.

It's entirely possible that's not what our intent is so we should give the standard for filtration

we'd like to eliminate air pollution from uh combustion appliances in billions which uh I did not know I knew that it was an indoor air quality

providing essential services inside buildings that can provide clean indoor air and a cool place to be

the use of of natural methane gas ranges in homes is one of the biggest sources of indoor air pollution

one of the single biggest air quality uh problems in homes is gas cook stoves

make improvements to their dwellings of their households that would improve indoor air quality, and you know there's a lot of things you can do

help land owners and landlords improve their buildings in terms of indoor air quality, to help the public health within boulder

You know you have pretty poor indoor air quality and this exacerbates existing conditions
