Energy Commission History Section 25402 of the Public Resources Code (known
as the Warren Alquist Act)
The act created the Energy Commission in 1974 and gave it authority to develop and maintain Building Energy Efficiency Standards
Requires the Standards and new requirements to be cost effective over the economic life of the structure
Requires the Energy Commission to update the Standards periodically (about every 3 years)
C A L I F O R N I A E N E R G Y C O M M I S S I O N
Process Title 24, Part 6 Pre-rulemaking industry stakeholder meetings and workshops
Energy Commission workshops on proposed standards
Notice of Proposed Action and 45-day language submitted to CA Building Standards Commission (CSBC)
Made available to the public
Energy Commission holds hearings, conducts rulemaking proceeding, adopts regulations for Title24, Part 6 updates
Submits to CBSC for nine-point criteria review and approval
CBSC incorporates California Energy Code into entire Title 24 code update
Goes into effect one year later www.energy.ca.gov/title24/2019standards/prerulemaking/

Prescriptive Approach Set of predefined efficiency requirements that
must ALL be met or exceeded
Applies to various building components
Simplest approach, but less flexible
Establishes baseline for Standard building budget under Performance Approach
C A L I F O R N I A E N E R G Y C O M M I S S I O N
Performance Approach Also known as the computer method
Requires use of Energy Commission approved software
Most flexible approach, allows for trade-offs
Proposed energy budget Standard energy budget
Most new construction uses this approach
Modeling, budgets, assumptions are located in Residential and Nonresidential ACM Reference Manuals
