YOUR IMMEDIATE FEEDBACK IS REQUIRED: Bay Area Air Quality Management District Rule 2-5 - Diesel Generator Retrofit Requirement

We’ve been alerted to a draft amendment to BAAQMD rule 2-5 that may have an impact on the real estate industry.

The changes may affect the commercial/residential building industry as the rule, if implemented, would apply to all diesel generators and retrofitting costs to comply may run as high at $200,000 per unit. Please ask that your chief engineer – or appropriate staff member – to review these documents and let us know if they have any comments at johnb@boma.com and kenc@boma.com
