Title 24: What’s New in the Residential 2025 Energy Code
Description:
The 2025 Title 24 Building Energy Code is more stringent than prior versions as the CEC aligns Title 24 with statewide clean energy goals. The new standards are intended to pivot the code to emphasize the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in California. Martyn Dodd will summarize the new and revised requirements in the 2025 Code for single family and multi-family buildings and direct participants to informational and training resources that provide more in-depth Title 24 information. Architects, engineers, lighting designers, energy consultants, contractors, and building department staff should find this training of interest and directly applicable to their work.
