A significant oversight by an international standards agency in the United States' newest energy code could lead to costly retrofits for homeowners. The agency failed to include building electrification measures, crucial for the adaptation of induction stoves and electric vehicle (EV) chargers in new homes. This omission means that many homes may not be adequately 'electrical ready', necessitating expensive upgrades for compliance with future electrification standards. This development is a setback for environmental efforts, highlighting a gap in the regulatory framework that could slow down the transition to greener energy solutions within the residential sector.
