Water Heater NOx emissions

The approach to NOx emissions adopted by the Bay Area Air District is far superior to the emissive sales limit approach you are now considering

The zero-NOx requirement is stronger in providing more certainty regarding public health outcomes

Advantages of the Zero-NOx installation requirement includes:

Aligns more effectively with State of California Climate Goals.
Guarantees substantially more emission reductions
More straightforward in implementation
More climate and health benefits generated in near future.

Disadvantage of the sales-limit credit system:

Lacks measures to prevent disadvantaged citizens from being left behind
Lacks enforcement leverage
Slower to deliver guaranteed pollution cuts.

Thank you,
