Addendum - CHPS Energy Criteria :: (pdf) |
|
0.1 MB |
As of October 1, 2005 the California has adopted the newest version of the state energy code, Title-24-2005. All new projects submitted to the Division of the State Architect after this date must conform to the 2005 standard. The current CHPS Criteria references the old standard, Title 24-2001, for Energy Prerequisite 1: Minimum Energy Performance and Energy Credit 1: Superior Energy Performance. An addendum to the current CHPS criteria has been published to address this issue and may be downloaded here. All CHPS schools submitted to DSA after October 1, 2005 must now conform to this addendum for the Energy Criteria. |
