Strong statewide building codes are the best way to help lower-income homeowners and renters who often have trouble paying utility bills. It is disgraceful that the state is contemplating bowing to the homebuilders' lobbying and adopting lower code standards that will make home heating and cooling less affordable. Virginia can do better by its people.
