Document Description
The Warren-Alquist Act establishes the CEC as California’s primary energy policy and planning agency. Public Resources Code sections 25213, 25402, 25402.1, 25402.4, 25402.5, 25402.8, and 25910 mandate and/or authorize that the CEC adopt rules and regulations, as necessary, to reduce the wasteful, uneconomic, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy and water in new residential and new nonresidential buildings.
One of the ways the CEC satisfies this requirement is through the Energy Code. The Energy Code includes the energy efficiency requirements applicable to newly constructed buildings and permitted additions and alterations to existing buildings. The CEC updates the Energy Code on a three-year cycle as part of the California Building Standards Code.
The current project is the latest triennial update to the Energy Code. The proposed amendments, if adopted, would be incorporated into the 2022 edition of the Energy Code and become effective on January 1, 2023.
