New Title-24 Energy Code - Summary of Changes

Reprinted with permission from www.energycode.com
2008 New Title-24 Energy Code  - Summary of Changes
The effective date for the 2008 Title-24 Building Energy Efficiency Standards has been pushed back to January 1, 2010 and incorporate new measures to reduce energy use and greenhouse gas emissions.The new 2008 energy code is significantly more restrictive however it also introduces a number of new energy credits that can be used to leverage a project into compliance in a cost effective manner.

Excerpts - Changes to the residential standards:
The new Title-24 residential lighting requirements divide the home into three distinct zones that are treated very differently. The first zone is the kitchen.

The second zone includes all the bathrooms, garages, laundry rooms, and utility rooms which must have either high efficacy fixtures or they must have vacancy sensors installed that control the low efficacy fixtures.

The third zone includes all the hallways, dining rooms, family rooms, home office, and bedrooms. . .
