State Delays Effective Date of New Energy Standards
The California Energy Commission has changed the effective date for the new Building Energy Efficiency Standards to Jan. 1, 2010. The standards were originally set to take effect on Aug. 1.
The CEC decided that a five-month delay was appropriate. It provides the industry and building officials more time to prepare for the new standards. The Commission will use the additional time to provide more information on the standards and work with the California utilities, building industry and the California Building Officials to provide training on the new standards.
