What Is California Title 24 and CALGreen?
"The Energy Efficiency Standards for Residential and Nonresidential Buildings were
established in 1978 in response to a legislative mandate to reduce California's energy
consumption. The standards are updated periodically to allow consideration and possible
incorporation of new energy efficiency technologies and methods."

As it pertains to
ventilation, it provides minimum standards for the performance of the products that may
be used, especially when a light combination unit is to be a part of the installation.
What Are The Basics?
The California Title 24 standard is a residential energy efficiency
standard. To comply, better performing exhaust fans and energy
efficient lighting must be used. All exhaust fans must utilize a 4" or
larger duct, and incorporate specific ventilation requirements from
ASHRAE 62.2. When using an exhaust fan with light, it must use high
efficacy lighting with an energy input limit of 40 watts or less.
Section 11 of Title 24 known as
CALGreen, requires that all exhaust
fans utilized in bathrooms or other
rooms of the home be ENERGY STAR
®
qualified. CALGreen also
requires exhaust fans installed in bathrooms (defined as a room with
a tub or shower) to be controlled by a readily available humidistat.
