Building Standards Commission Approves Initial Water Efficiency Code Changes

Posted on May 29, 2015 by CASH

05/29/15

Today the Building Standards Commission (BSC) approved emergency regulations proposed by the Division of the State Architect (DSA) to update the California Green Building Standards Code (Title 24) and create new water efficiency requirements for public schools and community college irrigated landscape areas.  The changes require a reduction in outdoor potable water use through irrigation regulation, separate water meters, and automatic controllers that adapt to changes in weather and soil moisture.  This action is being taken in conjunction with the Governor’s recent Executive Order B-29-15 issued April 1, 2015 regarding water restrictions and conservation efforts.  Today’s actions pertain only to use of water outside of a school building and do not apply to graywater.
