The Ronald McDonald House of Connecticut The Ronald McDonald House of Connecticut is a temporary home for families whose children are receiving services at nearby hospitals. Located in New Haven, Connecticut, and operated by New Haven Hospital, the property opened in 2019, and offers accommodations for families.24 CONCLUSION Many jurisdictions are in the middle of a great climate transformation, and an ambitious implementation of future -changing policies. To reach efficiency benchmarks set by local jurisdictions, products like EIFS will play a key role as building owners look to build or upgrade their facilities efficiently, cost-effectively, and with a tool that can be applied broadly across the country. EIFS offers continuous insulation due to its strategic design, which allows architects flexibility to create the aesthetics they require while simultaneously meeting new energy codes. Governments will need to consider whole building standards and emission targeting as a tool to reduce carbon. EIFS compliment the goals of those concerned with environmental resiliency and can be a productive tool in the War on Carbon. What stands in the way are the prescriptive building codes and rules that are misaligned with the long-term intentions of government leaders and their climate agendas. As a product, EIFS align with the goals for reducing carbon's adverse impact on the climate. There is demonstratable evidence of the cost-effectiveness and climate efficacy of EIFS in building retrofits and renovations, and their use across the full spectrum of building types and jurisdictions shows the value placed on it by builders and property developers. From hotels in Alaska to resorts in Florida, EIFS provide unparalleled flexibility and adaptability that make it a key tool in the toolbox of builders, property owners, and city planners alike. 24 https://www.rmhc-ctma.org/our-houses/ronald-mcdonald-house-of-connecticut 7
