 2 scale to lower prices of needed products across various industries and
 3 to promote the creation of markets that did not exist prior to govern-

 5 improve the local economy.
 6 4. The biggest cost drivers for building operations in New York state
 7 are also those components that lead to extensive greenhouse gas emis-
 8 sions, and as a result, it is in the state's interest to protect and

 10 components needed while concurrently lowering greenhouse gas emissions
 11 and costs of operating buildings.

 14 products contribute to the efficient use of resources and environmental
 15 sustainability.
 16 6. Bulk procurement for projects to be completed by public housing
