California Green Building Code (CALGreen) – Heat Island effect
CALGreen – To limit the development of nonroof and roof heat islands in new construction, therefore lowering the energy need for building cooling and regulating ambient temperature. Additionally, Tier 1 and Tier 2 measures for adoption by cities and counties seeking to go above and beyond the minimal statutory criteria for their communities include provisions for cool roof installations.
California Green Building Code (CALGreen) – Green power
CALGreen – To promote electricity purchases from utilities with a renewable energy portfolio, therefore lowering reliance on carbon-based fuel for energy production and related greenhouse gas emissions. There may be rules that utilities must go by for their customer portfolios or pricing policies to safeguard consumers, but there are no building energy standards.
California Green Building Code (CALGreen) – Exterior wall shading
CALGreen – These steps are being taken to lessen the amount of heat gain caused by sun exposure. A structure’s outside surfaces are exposed to more sunlight at specific periods of the year. By screening the windows from the outside, the reduction in heat gain via windows may be greatly decreased. Additionally, boosting the reflectivity of opaque walls is meant to lessen the area’s heat island impact.
California Green Building Code (CALGreen) – Water conserving plumbing fixtures and fittings
CALGreen – To lower the amount of potable water used inside by allowing nonwater-supplied urinals as a fixture. To reduce water use and the corresponding energy consumption, a variety of technologies and strategies can be used. These include water-saving plumbing devices like waterless urinals, ultra-low-flow toilets, sinks with flow restrictions, and showerheads, as well as dishwashers and washing machines.
California Green Building Code (CALGreen) – Restoration of areas disturbed by construction
CALGreen – By reestablishing damaged or previously built landscapes with locally adapted vegetation, including native species, these actions aim to decrease the demand of potable water for landscape irrigation. It is intended to help with erosion management and storm water pollution prevention both during and after construction. It also aims to prevent the growth of invasive alien plants, which has a propensity to overwhelm ecosystems and decrease the diversity of flora and animals.
California Green Building Code (CALGreen) – Outdoor water use
CALGreen – The purpose of this regulation is to decrease outdoor water usage below the minimum standard. A separate water meter must presently be erected by the water provider for new water service servicing more than 5,000 square feet of irrigated landscape.
California Green Building Code (CALGreen) – Nonpotable water systems for indoor use
CALGreen – By using nonpotable water systems (such as collected rainfall, treated graywater, and recycled water) designed to feed toilets, urinals, and other permitted purposes, this code provision aims to limit the amount of potable water used inside.
California Green Building Code (CALGreen) – Wood framing
CALGreen – To reduce the amount of wood required to meet or exceed the structural frame criteria set forth in Title 24. There are ways to minimize the number of joists used in the floor system while still ensuring that all plumbing and HVAC systems are coordinated with the floor framework.
California Green Building Code (CALGreen) – Nonpotable water systems
CALGreen – To encourage the use of nonpotable water systems in order to preserve potable water and to provide a reference for the requirements of the California Plumbing Code.
California Green Building Code (CALGreen) – Irrigation systems
CALGreen – This regulation mandates the use of recycled water in some irrigation systems with the goal of reducing the overall amount of outside water required for irrigation.
