The Clean and Affordable Buildings Ordinance (CABO)
The Clean and Affordable Buildings Ordinance (CABO). would eliminate harmful natural gas emissions by setting an indoor emissions limit banning the combustion of fuels that emit more than 25 kg/btu – effectively requiring all new construction to switch to clean power sources like electric or other high efficiency systems.

The proposed ordinance would provide exceptions to specific systems including for commercial cooking, emergency backups, and more.
