Implement a Passive House Standard in Title 24
Update: AB368 passed and has been signed by Governor Newsom. Read and track the bill
Passive house is a standard for energy efficiency in a building, which reduces the building’s ecological footprint. Conforming to these standards results in ultra-low energy buildings that require little energy for space heating or cooling. (Source: Wikipedia)
We want to accelerate the establishment of a low-energy-demand, high-performance green building standard in California.
Building types will include all of the following: single family residential buildings, multi-family residential buildings, and commercial buildings.
Broadly, the two legislative steps being proposed are:
- define an alternate compliance pathway to high-performance buildings
- offer incentives for developers and builders to follow the pathway.
