stock would consist of new homes built between
now and then, and 45 percent would still consist
of homes built before 1970 (as high as 65 percent
in the Northeast).
In 1970 there were no codes or standards for
energy efficiency, and the resiliency requirements
motivated by the experiences with Hurricane
Andrew in 1992 and the Northridge earthquake
in 1994 were still years off. Many code changes
targeting fire safety (such as requirements for
smoke alarms, fire separation, fire blocking,
draft stopping, emergency escape openings,
electrical circuit breakers, and capacity and
outlet separation) were also implemented after
1970.
In short, in just about every way imaginable,
new homes are being built to higher standards
than they were in 1970. So if you want to improve
the built environment, one of the first things you
need to do is figure out simply how to increase
the production of new homes, built to modern
standards, so it becomes possible to retire more
of the older ones.
