NEW YORK CITY-The majority of GlobeSt.com readers don’t look favorably on President Barack Obama’s Better Buildings Initiative. Announced in February 2011, the plan aims to make commercial buildings 20% more energy efficient by 2020 by offering tax incentives for building efficiency and financing for retrofits.

But when asked to weigh in on the plan, a whopping 60% of respondents pegged the plan “another Obama boondoggle,” while 27% said it “is the kind of incentive the industry needs” and 13% said that “it sounds good, but I’m waiting to see.”

Andrew Goldberg, managing director, Government Relations and Outreach at the American Institute of Architecture, tells GlobeSt.com that when read in full, most complaints about the initiative abate. Those that remain, he thinks, tend to revolve around Congressional deadlock.
