2022 Energy Code Update Draft Environmental Impact Report

2022 Energy Code Update Draft Environmental Impact Report

The project is the adoption of the 2022 amendments to the Energy Code. It amends the existing 2019 building design and construction energy efficiency standards that are applicable to the construction of new buildings and additions and alterations to existing buildings. The project does not entail the approval of any construction project, nor does it streamline or otherwise affect the CEQA review requirements for future discretionary construction projects to be reviewed by local lead agencies. The draft Environmental Impact Report contains a description of the project; the environmental impacts of the project and recommended mitigation measures, if applicable, areas of controversy known to the California Energy Commission, including issues raised by agencies and the public; and identification of the alternatives evaluated and of the environmentally superior alternative.
