it seems unlikely. could probably help and i figure the issue we’ve been having is more complicated than what can be accomplished with building codes alone.
yeah I’m thinking if anything it’s maybe a step to prevent greedy real estate people from making matters worse in the interim. this sort of thing could force them to follow “green” rules during the transition to a larger more systemic overhaul.
No, law of headlines that end in a question and all that, but they might help in some small way.

Could Tougher Building Codes Fix Climate Change?
No.

No band-aid on a symptom of a cancer will fix the cancer, and as warm and fuzzy it might make some people feel to think we can just regulate or reform our way out of this shit, that’s never going to happen, and clinging on to these futile notions is not just ridiculous, but actively counterproductive (by shifting focus away from the only solution).
