The California Lighting Technology Center (CLTC) at the University of California Davis collaborated with the California Energy Commission to provide this educational video in support of the 2016 Building Energy Efficiency Standards (Title 24).  California’s new nonresidential Building Energy Efficiency Standards take effect on January 1, 2017.

The 2016 Standards focus on several key areas to improve the energy efficiency of newly constructed buildings, additions and alterations to existing buildings.  A key change - the line between maintenance and retrofit has been redrawn. More projects are now exempt from alteration requirements. Those that are required to comply now have more options including some with reduced control requirements. 

A downloadable fact sheet covering the same topic is located here.
