Codes and Standards Education and Training
Codes and Standards Education and Training: CALGreen 2019 Essentials
DESCRIPTION
To many architects, the new CALGREEN is an additional task on the drawing table to fulfill the regulatory requirements set by the California Green Building Standards Code: Part 11 of Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations.
CALGreen is the newest California Title 24 code addition and is not a stand-alone document for all new construction, major modernization, and additions. The purpose is to improve public health, filling the gaps that the multiple codes, from Energy Code, Plumbing Code, Electrical Code, Mechanical Code, and others that do not address with respect to sustainability. Its function is to reinforce newer areas that the State of California is planning or targeting, such as EV Charging Spaces, Construction Site Waste Collection for landfill avoidance, Low VOC Materials, Outdoor Recycled Water Supply Systems, and Moisture Control. A comprehensive approach, it requires the project team to follow throughout the design stages, construction, and continue after occupancy. A case in point is Waste treatment.
It has a nickname as the Mini LEED because of the similar principles, however, LEED certification is voluntary and the achievement levels are identified as Certified, Silver, Gold and Platinum. CALGreen is a requirement under the California statewide code. It identifies most of the requirements as mandatory, also providing Tier 1 and Tier 2 for projects or local agencies to pursue higher performance objectives.
This Code started in 2008 and has issued 2013, 2016, and 2019 versions. In late2020, the California Energy Commission (CEC) will open the public review and comment period for the upcoming 2022 version. The newest Zero Code is in discussion for potential inclusion in the CALGreen 2022.
