The 2019 Title 24 Part 6 Energy Standards took effect Jan. 1, 2020, so the energy enthusiasts over here at In Balance Green Consulting compiled a few of our favorite things in the new code.

Photovoltaic (PV) and Battery Systems: The Backend
As the new building code comes into effect January 1, 2020, solar PV systems are becoming a new normal for residential and nonresidential buildings, with batteries not far behind. It will fall on architects, contractors, developers, and other specialists involved in the process of designing and building buildings to make this transition effective and efficient.
Air-Source Heat Pumps: Simple, Efficient, Economical
As California continues to move new buildings towards the goal of more efficient, all-electric, fossil-fuel-free construction, technologies used for decades in other locations - despite feeling new here - will help us reach our goals. Solar panels will power our overall energy needs, while high-efficiency air-source heat pumps (ASHPs) will satisfy the conditioning needs of these buildings and homes.
