Amakhaya amasha namafulethi esifundazweni sase-Washington kuzodingeka ukuthi asebenzise amaphampu okushisa kusukela ngo-Julayi ozayo, ngenxa yenqubomgomo entsha egunyazwe ngesonto eledlule UMkhandlu Wekhodi Yokwakha Yesifunda Se-Evergreen.
Amaphampu okushisa ayizinhlelo zokufudumeza ezonga amandla kanye nokupholisa ezingase zithathele indawo hhayi nje kuphela izifudumezi ezisebenza ngegesi yemvelo kanye nezifudumezi zamanzi, kodwa namayunithi okupholisa umoya angasebenzi kahle. Efakwe ngaphandle kwemizi yabantu, asebenza ngokuhambisa amandla ashisayo ukusuka kwenye indawo kuya kwenye.
Isinqumo soMkhandlu Wekhodi Yokwakha WaseWashington silandela isilinganiso esifanayo esavunywa ngo-April esidinga ukuba kufakwe amaphampu okushisa ezakhiweni ezintsha zezentengiselwano kanye nezakhiwo ezinkulu zokuhlala. Manje, njengoba igunya selinwetshiwe ukumboza zonke izindawo zokuhlala ezintsha, abagqugquzeli bezemvelo bathi iWashington inamanye amakhodi okwakha aqine kakhulu ezwe adinga izinto zikagesi ekwakhiweni okusha.
"I-State Building Code Council yenza isinqumo esifanele kubantu baseWashington," kusho uRachel Koller, umqondisi ophethe i-clean energy alliance Shift Zero, esitatimendeni. "Ngokombono wezomnotho, wokulingana, nokusimama, kunengqondo ukwakha amakhaya asebenza kahle, asebenza ngogesi zisuka nje."
Umthetho Wokuncishiswa Kokwehla kwamandla emali wabaphathi bakwa-Biden, ophasiswe ngo-Agasti, uzokwenza izigidigidi zamaRandi kumakhredithi entela atholakale kumaphampu okushisa amasha aqala ngonyaka ozayo. Ongoti bathi lezi zikweletu ziyadingeka ukuze kususwe amakhaya kude nezibaso ezimbiwa phansi futhi kufakwe ugesi ovuselelwa kabusha. Imizi eminingi yaseWashington isivele isebenzisa ugesi ukushisisa amakhaya abo, kodwa igesi yemvelo isabalwa cishe ingxenye yesithathu yokushisisa kwezindawo zokuhlala ngo-2020. Ukushisisa kwezakhiwo zokuhlala, ezohwebo, nezimboni kukhiqiza cishe ingxenye yesine yokungcola kwesimo sezulu sombuso.
U-Patience Malaba, umqondisi omkhulu wenhlangano engenzi nzuzo ye-Housing Development Consortium yase-Seattle, ubize izidingo zephampu yokushisa entsha ngokuwina kwesimo sezulu kanye nezindlu ezilinganayo, njengoba amaphampu okushisa angasiza abantu bonge izikweletu zamandla.
"Zonke izakhamizi zaseWashington kufanele zikwazi ukuhlala ezindlini eziphephile, ezinempilo, nezithengekayo emiphakathini esimeme futhi eqinile," ungitshele. Isinyathelo esilandelayo, wengeza, kuzoba ukuthi iWashington ikhiphe ikhabhoni ngezindlu ezikhona ngokubuyisela.
