2 WHAT IS CALGREEN? California Green Building Standards Code Residential & Non Residential Indoor & Outdoor & New Development & Renovations/Retrofits Overseen by Building Standards Commission Enforced by Building Code Enforcement Agencies California Building Officials (CalBO) City/County Building Departments

3 WHY SHOULD I CARE? Indoor Water Use Floor for Market Standards Align Programming (e.g., rebates) Outdoor Water Use Increased Focus on Outdoor Water Use in Codes MWELO Alignment Enforcement Implications and Potential Stormwater Management Implications

11 WHAT YOU MIGHT HAVE THOUGHTS ON Landscape threshold sizes who is accountable? Irrigation fixtures performance based vs. prescriptive? Landscaping standards enforcement reality? Stormwater management how are we using landscapes to take advantage of rainwater and manage for stormwater runoff? RESOURCES Emergency Rulemaking : Current CalGreen Codes 2013: n/13green_main.html
