Title 24
Created in 1978 by the California Building standards Commission in response to a legislative mandate to reduce California’s energy consumption. Title 24 utilizes energy efficient technologies to provide California with an adequate, reasonably priced, environmentally sound supply of energy.
2013 Standards
The 2013 standards took effect on July 1st, 2014, and are estimated to increase the energy efficiency of commercial buildings by 30%. This is achieved through the use of more comprehensive lighting controls and the requirement for acceptance testing to ensure lighting systems are operating properly.
California’s driving innovation through adopting new requirements towards energy efficiency every three years. By embracing the Green initiative and implementing lighting controls, a number of benefits are realized.
Benefits
40% Lower Energy Costs
Reliable electrical services
Improves comfort and employee moral
Reduces impact to the environment
