California has adopted ambitious climate-related policy goals, including reducing GHG emissions levels to 80% below the emissions in 1990.
As part of that goal, Title 24, Part 6 (“Building Energy Efficiency Standards”) requires new homes permitted after Jan. 1, 2020, to be designed and constructed as zero net energy (ZNE) homes. These requirements will apply to new nonresidential buildings in 2030.
Title 24 Standards include a process for local jurisdictions to adopt local ordinances that exceed the minimum state requirements.
