Changes to California's building energy codes are described in the state's Building Energy Efficiency Standards, often called Title 24, Part 6. These changes became effective January 1, 2017, and may affect both residential and business customers.
Building energy codes help to ensure that building construction and installations achieve a minimum level of energy efficiency for both residential and nonresidential buildings.
Increased energy efficiency results in the following benefits:
Title 24, part 6 is the specific building energy code standard in California.
Building energy code standards are updated at times to allow for incorporation of new energy-efficiency advancements and methods.
For residents, efficiency improvements for windows, envelope insulation and heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system testing could result in modification to available rebates.
For businesses, efficiency improvements for lighting controls, windows, HVAC equipment and building commissioning could result in modification to available rebates.
If you plan to apply for rebates with PG&E, consider the following information:

You can take advantage of modifications to rebates in any of the following ways:
The California Building Standards Commission created Title 24 in 1978. Title 24 strives to:
These standards are updated by the California Energy Commission (CEC) to include new energy-efficiency methods. You can find changes to Title 24 requirements in Part 6 of the California Building Standards Code.
Title 24, Part 6 is designed to improve energy efficiency, which can result in the following benefits:
Title 24, Part 6 changes may impact projects that include the following types of products:

The California Energy Design Assistance (CEDA) program’s dedicated team of energy specialists listen to your project goals and customize energy efficiency options to maximize lifelong energy saving potential.
CEDA will provide:
CEDA provides two project paths to best meet customer needs. After discussing your project initiatives, we will provide all the details necessary for your team to decide which option is best.
CEDA mixed fuel provides a path for customers who want to have the option to use both gas and electricity.
CEDA's all-electric path gives customers the ability to choose a track with no gas service.
Some design teams prefer to choose their own energy consultant to do technical assistance, modeling and program paperwork.
Step 1: Enrollment
You provide schematic information about your building through our Energy Design Assistance application.
Step 2: Preliminary analysis
Together we perform real-time evaluation of energy-efficiency measures and bundle potential whole-building strategies for further analysis.
Step 3: Final analysis
You determine the strategies bundle that best aligns with your project goals from which projected energy savings and utility incentives are determined.
Step 4: Verification
We confirm your project was constructed to plan and issue a final report for you and your utility provider.
Step 5: Incentives
Incentives will be issued for the measures implemented in your project.
