The nation's first mandatory green building code is here – stay ahead of the game by knowing it! The California Green Building Standards Code (CGBSC), also referred to as CALGreen, contains regulations for energy efficiency, water efficiency and conservation, material conservation and resource efficiency, environmental quality, and more. It includes mandatory provisions for a variety of types of buildings, from commercial and low-rise residential to public schools. And the code's valuable appendices include voluntary provisions for all of these occupancies – and add hospitals. Logically organized with residential and non-residential provisions in separate chapters, the 2010 CA GREEN BUILDING STANDARDS CODE, TITLE 24 PART 11 is informative, thorough, and most of all, easy to use.
