"It will determine if I want to pay more to stay or go next door to Broomfield." "if we make these changes regionally, [hen industry and government are working together to make it economically viable for all stakeholders. Regionally cooperation is KEYHY" What data or information do you need to better understand the potential impacts of energy code options on your business and operations? "Bottom line cost increases." "We need GC, builders, and developers to lead the charge for net -zero construction which is run by renewables. This will not happen overnight, but if people within the industry are leading the charge, then govemmen t policies are partners and not the enemy. The climate crisis requires cooperation at ail levels." Payback time frame tolerances for upfront costs and onsite solar: "1 am not interested in increasing upfront construction 10-20years" costs for carbon reduction." Geise and Berry asked if there was a way to get more building owner responses. Schlaepfer and Betzhold responded that the Chamber of Commerce has also shared the survey in their emails as well and that any ideas to get more feedback would be welcome since the survey would only be open for a few more weeks. Betzhold also recommended that the Board members could forward the link to the survey to business owners. Geise asked if there were any other responses since the slides were created, and Betzhold added that there were ten responses since the slides were created; nine residential respondents and one business owner. Schlaepfer continued with the slides.
