Understanding California's new Building Energy Efficiency Standards that take effect in 2014 is important to every industry professional. These new standards require an improvement of the energy efficiency of homes by 25% and make non-residential buildings 30% more efficient than the previous 2008 standards. Any projects that apply for permit after July 1st, 2014 will be subject to the 2013 standards.
You can learn more about the major areas of change in regards to indoor and outdoor non-residential lighting by reviewing the What's New In The 2013 Code? created by California Lighting Technology Center, part of Department of Design at the University of California, Davis.
