Building codes should absolutely be requiring *considerably* more insulation for new builds. I get that's not a silver bullet, considering the age and turnover rate of housing stock, but I don't care- we can *radically* decrease energy use through fucking insulation.

NY just passed a bill requiring sellers to notify buyers of the need to inspect and pump septic tanks. With having septic systems for over a century, they are JUST NOW informing the public of the need to pump routinely. It'll be awhile before they get on board with insulating.

And it's *so* cheap to do in the first place, when you're building, but that would mean 1% less profit for the developer, even though it'd save hundreds of thousands for the resident over the life of the house.
