California Title 24 for Residential

(PRWEB) July 1, 2006 -- What Is It?

In order to decrease energy consumption, California has adopted a new energy code (Title 24) that significantly impacts lighting in new and remodeled homes.

Beginning (PRWEB)October 2005, all new and remodeled homes must incorporate energy efficient lighting and controls.

Depending on the room, these include:
Dimmers
Occupancy Sensors
Must be certified Title 24 compliant
Must be manual-on/automatic-off (can also be turned off manually)
Must turn off automatically in 30 minutes
Cannot be locked in a permanent "on" state
High efficacy lights - fluorescent, compact fluorescent (CFL) or high-intensity discharge (HID) lamps
Fluorescent, CFL, and HID lights must not have a medium screw base socket
Lamps rated 13 watts or greater must have an electronic ballast
