Title 24 Energy Code NEWS

New Energy Code Went Into Effect on January 1, 2023

The California Energy Commission (CEC) updates the Energy Code every three years. On August 11, 2021, the CEC adopted the 2022 Energy Code. In December 2022, it was approved by the California Building Standards Commission for inclusion into the California Building Standards Code. The 2022 Energy Code encourages efficient electric heat pumps, establishes electric-ready requirements for new homes, expands solar photovoltaic and battery storage standards, strengthens ventilation standards, and more. Buildings whose permit applications are applied for on or after January 1, 2023, must comply with the 2022 Energy Code.

What is a HERS Rater and do I need one?

A HERS Rater is a special inspector for Enforcement Agency/Building Departments in California. Special inspectors are outside experts that verify some aspect of building compliance for the local jurisdiction. HERS Raters verify that air conditioners, insulation, and water heaters are installed according to code. https://search.yahoo.com/search?fr=mcafee&type=E210US1485G0&p=in+california+what+is+a+HERS+Rater%3F
