California Approves First Statewide Green Building Code
Monday, February 1, 2010
The California Building Standards Commission has adopted the nation's first statewide, mandatory green building code. The new code, which is called "Cal Green," takes effect January 2011 and will require newly constructed buildings to satisfy a building criteria, including:
-Recycle 50% of construction waste as opposed to sending it to a landfill
-Low-pollutant paint, carpet and flooring
-Plumbing that cuts indoor water use
-Inspection of energy systems to ensure optimum efficiency
-Water meters installed in non-residential buildings
The new Cal Green building code will help the state meet AB32, a law that requires the California Air Resources Board to implement regulations that will reduce California's overall greenhouse-gas emissions by 25 percent by 2020.
